Quick Seared Garlic Ginger Jalapenos Recipes

QUICK PICKLED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients except jalapeños to a boil in a medium sized pot (4-5 cloves smashed garlic, 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 teaspoons dried oregano).
• Add jalapeño slices to the pot, stir together, and remove from heat. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the jalapeños to a jar. Once all the peppers are in there (you can smush them in quite a bit to make them fit), pour enough brine from the pot in the jar to fill it up. Discard any remaining brine.
• Allow the pickled jalapeños to cool in your refrigerator for about an hour before consuming. Store in your fridge for up to 2 months for optimal freshness.

PAN-SEARED TUNA WITH AVOCADO, SOY, GINGER, AND LIME

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
• Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.
