[#800000][size 3]Grilled Chile-Bathed Fish[/size][/#800000]
[size 3]4 ancho chiles (these are normally found dried and packaged, very mild peppers)
aluminum foil, heavy duty
Vinegar
½ cup water
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
1 tablespoon salt
4 cloves garlic
½ cup mild white vinegar
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless fish fillets
salt for serving:
Olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
½ bunch cilantro leaves only, finely chopped
2 large limes quartered
Corn tortillas
1 avocado, peeled and mashed
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced (chopped tomatoes)[/size]
[size 2]This recipe originally called for cooking the fish in corn husks, lots of work, and just not worth it to me. I have deleted the references to the corn husks and used aluminum foil instead. [/size]
[size 3]Take the ancho peppers and remove the stems and all of the seeds, anchos are very mild but watch touching your fingers to your eyes. With tongs, hold the peppers over a gas burner or near the heating element of your stove just long enough to lightly singe them. Place the peppers in a bowl and just cover with warm water and a splash of vinegar. Soak about 20 minutes (peppers should be soft and pliable), then pour the mixture in a blender. Add the cumin seeds, oregano, thyme, salt, garlic, and vinegar. Blend to a smooth paste.[/size]
[size 3]Cut the fish into chucks about 3x1 inches, about the size to fit into a corn torilla. Place them in a ceramic or glass bowl and add 6 tablespoons of the chile paste (don’t use all of the paste, you will need more later). Mix together to coat thoroughly, cover and refrigerate for 1 or 2 hours.[/size]
[size 3]Divide the now marinated fish into six equal portions. Take 6 pieces of aluminum foil (large enough to wrap each fish portion to seal tightly). Please a teaspoon or so of the chile paste in each foil wrapper and place the fish portion on top. Sprinkle a little salt on top of the fish and another teaspoon of chile paste. Tightly seal the foil over the fish so that it will not leak when heated. Grill the packages of fish until done. Test one by opening the package and placing a fork in the middle of the fish. If the fish easily breaks into flakes, it is done. (Baking in the oven works fine too, use your own judgment about time and temperature)[/size]
[size 3]While the fish is cooking, warm the tortillas. I like to place several of them on a dinner plate, sprinkle them with water and take another plate and flip it over and fit it on top. Then microwave for a short time. This should steam them and make them warm and pliable. [/size]
[size 3]Each serving gets a package of fish. The sauce made in the cooked package is very good. I like to place the baked fish in a tortilla and pour some of the sauce over it then add the toppings, (dab of olive oil, onion, cucumber, avocado, pieces of pepper, cilantro, squeeze of lime, tomato pieces)[/size]

16 fresh mussels
1/2 lb. sugar snap peas
1 medium red pepper, cut into long 1/2" wide strips
Chopped fresh parsley to garnish
Preparation:

The "Sofrito"

1. In a heavy 12" skillet, heat 3 tbsp. olive oil until hot. Add the onions and pepper, and cook, stirring for 5 minutes until they’re soft and transparent. 2. Add tomatoes, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring for 5 more minutes, until most of the liquid in the pan evaporates and the mixture is thick. 3. Put the sofrito aside for later. Seafood and Sausage:

1. Season the fish, shrimp and scallops with salt and pepper. 2. In a skillet, heat 3 tbsp. of olive oil over moderately high heat until hot. 3. Add the fish, shrimp and scallops, as well as the mussels, and sauté for 3-5 minutes. 4. Add the sausage and cook until light brown. 5. Transfer to a plate and deglaze pan with 1/2 cup of dry white wine. Paella:

1. About 30 minutes before you plan to serve the paella, preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. 2. In a 14" paella pan or shallow casserole dish at least 14" in diameter, combine the sofrito, rice and saffron. 3. Pour in 3 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups of clam juice (save 1 cup for the end). Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over high heat. 4. Remove the pan from the heat immediately and season with salt and pepper. 5. Arrange the seafood on the top of the rice. 6. Set the pan on the lowest shelf in the oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Do not stir the paella once it goes in the oven. 7. Sprinkle the sugar snap peas and the red pepper strips over the whole paella, and bake for 5-10 minutes more, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice and the grains are tender, but not too soft. If the rice needs to be softer, add the remaining cup of clam juice. 8. Remove from stove and let stand for five minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.
