PERUVIAN FRIED FISH WITH ONION SAUCE (ESCABECHE DE PESCADO)

Steps:

• In a bowl, add ingredients for sauce and allow to marinate while preparing fish, about 20 minutes. Sauce may stand for up to 1 hour. Heat oil in a skillet on medium. Add enough oil to be able to shallow fry fish. In a bowl combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge fish filets and fry in oil until cooked and golden brown, about 5 minutes each side. Set aside on serving platter. Discard all but a few tablespoons of oil, and turn heat to medium-high. Add sauce and simmer, stirring constantly, until onions have softened and sauce has reduced and thickened, about 5-10 minutes. When sauce is ready, pour sauce over fish and serve with rice, sweet potatoes and corn. Enjoy!
