Ingredients

For the Curtido

  • head green cabbage shredded
  • head red cabbage shredded
  • 1 large carrot grated
  • ½ yellow onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

For the Fish

  • 1 pound cod fish
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 lime
  • 1 orange

For the Bowls

  • Cooked Jasmine Rice
  • 1 cup Guacamole OR Sliced avocado
  • Pico de Gallo

Instructions

For the Curtido

  • Combine the cabbage, carrot, and onion in a large bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and then pour over the cabbage mixture and stir.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using.

For the Fish

  • Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill over medium high heat. Drizzle the cod dish with a touch of olive oil and season it with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Grill the fish on the grill for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. The fish should flake easily and there should be a golden brown crust.
  • Remove the fish from the grill and squeeze the fresh lime and orange juice over the fish. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  • To assemble, place a layer of steamed rice in the bottom of a bowl. Add some of the curtido to half of the bowl. Add the fish, avocado, pico and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Feel free to use brown rice, quinoa, farro, whatever you like as your base.
  • Can't find cod or not a fan? Any firm white fish will do.
