Sweet and Sour Fish Tacos

Another contemporary twist on a traditional dish, these tacos are inspired by the Italian-Jewish custom of eating sweet and sour fish for Rosh Hashanah. Pesce All’Ebraica (lit. Jewish Fish) is normally made with fillets of white fish cooked in oil, honey or sugar and vinegar, and flavoured with raisins or sultanas and toasted pine nuts.

We have seasoned our fish with South American flavours of agave and lime, bringing sugar and vinegar into the dish with pickled onions, and throwing juicy sultanas and tart green apples through a crunchy red cabbage slaw. All this is stuffed into homemade corn tacos for the perfect mouthful. (N.B. You will require a tortilla press for the tacos. If you haven’t got the time, equipment or patience to make your own corn tortillas, you can use store-bought flour tortillas, or forego the wraps altogether and serve as a plate of fish and salad with chips!)

Herby Maror (Horseradish) Crusted Salmon

Herby Marror and Karpas Crusted Salmon

It’s a classic Pesach conundrum: you buy a whole horseradish as long as an arm, and after using a small chunk for the seder plate find yourself with a slowly aging stick in the vegetable drawer of the fridge. What does one do with all the leftovers? Well, as the commandment of keeping Passover explicitly includes consumption of maror, we think it’s worth incorporating it into the meal on Seder night or at any time during the week. Horseradish makes an excellent addition to mashed potatoes to complement a meaty main course, for example. Here we’ve included it as a peppery addition to a herb crusted salmon, balanced with the freshness of lemon and parsley.
