Encebollado de Pescado
Whether you call this dish a soup or a stew, it has been popular
since the early days of Spanish colonization. The name
"encebollado" can be translated as "with onions," and refers to
the pickled onion salsa that is used as garnish.
Ecuadorian Fish Soup with Pickled Onions
2 Tbs (30 ml) vegetable oil
2 tomatoes, diced
1 red onion, diced
2 tsp (10 ml) ground cumin
1 tsp (5 ml) chili powder
Salt to taste
8 cups (2 L) water
6 cilantro (coriander) sprigs
2 lbs (900 g) fresh tuna steak
1 lb (450 g) fresh or frozen yuca (manioc)*
1 recipe curtido de cebolla y tomate (see below) for garnish
Toasted corn nuts for garnish
* Available in many supermarkets and Hispanic specialty shops
Heat the oil in a large pot over moderate heat and saute the
tomatoes, onion, cumin, chile powder, and salt until the onions
are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the water and cilantro sprigs
and bring to a boil. Add the tuna and simmer until cooked
through, about 15 minutes. Remove the tuna with a slotted
spoon and break into bite-size pieces. Add the yuca to the
broth and boil until tender but firm, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove
the yuca with a slotted spoon, remove any strings, and cut
the yuca into bite-size pieces. Return the tuna and the yuca
to the pot and add more salt if needed.
Serve garnished with curtido de cebolla y tomate and corn nuts.
