👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Wash the fish thoroughly and make vertical incisions on both sides of the fillets. Drain well.
2
In a shallow dish, combine the pinol or flour, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Dredge each fish in the mixture, ensuring it's well coated.
💡 전문가 팁: Tap off any excess flour.
3
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully place the coated fish in the hot oil and fry individually until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
⏱️ 16-20 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the oil is not too hot to prevent burning the outside before the inside is cooked.
4
While the fish is frying, prepare the salsa. In a separate skillet, heat a little of the fish frying oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, tomatoes, and chiltomas and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes
5
Stir in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
⏱️ 2-3 minutes
6
Remove the fried fish from the skillet and place on a serving platter. Spoon the prepared salsa generously over the fish. Serve immediately.
💡 전문가 팁: Pescado Frito a la Tipitapa is often served with rice, tostones, or fried ripe plantains.
