SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Combine all chiles and tomatillos in food processor and pulse to a chunky puree. Add salt and water. Remove to a bowl and stir in onion and cilantro. Add more water if necessary (tomatillos contain a lot of pectin and salsa can gel). Check seasoning.

PATATAS EN SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. When it is very hot, add the potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes, turning frequently with a metal spatula, until they are light brown on all sides. If there is quite a lot of oil remaining in the pan, drain off and discard some of it. Scatter the onion, garlic, salt and pepper evenly over the potatoes and pour in the boiling water and the wine. Do not stir, but instead shake the pan back and forth for a minute to distribute the water evenly.
• Cover the skillet and turn the heat to low. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Shake the skillet back and forth occasionally to stop the potatoes from sticking. Three minutes before the potatoes will be done, stir in the parsley. With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a warm serving platter and pour some of the cooking juices over them. Pass the remaining cooking juices, if desired.

BAKED POMPANO

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, rice wine, 1 tablespoon olive oil, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and juice of 1/2 the lime together in a bowl.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot and ginger until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in soy sauce mixture; simmer until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Score both sides of the pompano in a crosshatch pattern. Pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides and inside of the pompano with dill, salt, and pepper. Slice remaining 1/2 of the lime and arrange slices inside. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over pompano; rub over both sides.
• Layer cabbage leaves in the bottom of a large baking dish; place pompano on top. Pour soy sauce mixture over pompano. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil. Let marinate as oven preheats.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake pompano in the preheated oven until fragrant, about 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil; continue baking until pompano flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.
• Peel back skin and lift pompano flesh off the bones using a fork. Transfer to a serving plate.
