Awesome Cabbage Salad
- small red cabbage (size of 2 fists), finely sliced
- red onion, finely sliced
- pack of fresh coriander, chopped
- 3 tbsp vinegar (1 balsamic, 2 regular)
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Spicy Mayonaise
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- juice 1 lime
- 2-3 chiles
- a sprinkle of dried chilli flakes and / or arbol chilli powder
- 1 tsp tomate frito artesano
- 1 large garlic clove
For battered fish
- 700g cod, skinned and cut into 1×4 inch strips
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup beer
To serve
- 12 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas, warmed
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Toss the cabbage salad ingredients together and put in serving bowl.
- Blitz the spicy mayo ingredients together and put in bowl to serve
- Mix the flour, salt and pepper together in a medium bowl. Gradually add the beer, whisking until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
- Heat oil to deep fry fish until VERY VERY hot. If it isn’t hot enough the fish will be soggy not crispy – don’t be lazy.
- Dip the fish strips in the batter and cook in VERY small batches. You can’t coat them all or do a big batch – the fish will be soggy and that’s not the point.
- Cook about 2 minutes per side.
- Serve – put spicy mayo on tortilla, add cabbage salad, add fish pieces.
