  • Halibut Tacos with Spicy Cilantro Pea Purée

    Halibut Tacos with Spicy Cilantro Pea Purée

    Halibut Tacos with Spicy Cilantro Pea Purée

    This dish takes inspiration from two classic fish dishes―the mushy peas served with fish and chips and spicy fish tacos. We’ve made the peas fresh, bright, and a little spicy by using fresh or frozen peas, lots of fresh cilantro, serrano pepper, and lime juice. Combined with lightly marinated and baked halibut and topped with radishes and more cilantro, these tacos are satisfying and delicious.

    Jackfruit Tacos

    Serves 4

    Ingredients

    1/2 red onion

    1 avocado

    1 package Siete brand Almond Flour Grain-free Tortillas

    Olive oil

    1 package Jackfruit Company Pulled Pork (vegan & gluten free)

    Juice of 1/2 lime 

    2 Tablespoons maple syrup

    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 

    2 teaspoons of your favorite mayonnaise

    1/4 cup cilantro or parsley, chopped

    3 cups green cabbage, shredded

    Method

    1. In a small bowl place a couple tablespoons of the onion. Add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Rub with your fingers and set aside.

    2. Make the cabbage slaw: In a medium size bowl, place the shredded green cabbage, mustard, maple syrup, remaining lime juice and mayo. Mix together and set aside.

    3. In a heated skillet, over medium heat, add a teaspoon or two of the olive oil and the remaining onion. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. 

    4. Add the Jackfruit pulled pork. Cook and stir until fully heated and a little browned.

    5. Heat the tortillas: Warm a cast iron skillet over low heat. Once the skillet is hot you can add a tortilla, flipping frequently to prevent burning. Note: Almond flour tortillas burn more easily than traditional tortillas.  Once the tortilla has been warmed evenly on both sides, place it on a plate and cover with a towel. Continue until you have warmed all of the tortillas.

    6. Assemble the tacos: Place a tortilla on a plate. Add some of the Jackfruit pulled pork, a little cabbage slaw, a few slices of avocado, a pinch of marinated red onions and cilantro or parsley. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve topped with lime wedges. Enjoy!
