Corvina croquettes with cabbage and peach salad

Ok, this one really kicks a** :

Start with opening a really cold Corona or Pacifico.... good!}

For the croquettes: get corvina fillet ( or any othe white, mild and delicate fish..) and chop it up nice and fineusing a sharp knife. Do not use a food processor, because you will loose the texture.

In a bowl, mix it with 1 part bread crumbs, egg, chopped onion, cilantro, S&P.

Form your croquettes, bread them and fry them up in a mix of  half vegetable shortening and half corn oil (That's what I use in the deep frier).

For the salad: make a slaw with white and purple cabbage, green onion, carrot and small wedges of peach.
You might notice I did not salt the cabbage; I want to keep it crisp...
Toss with S&P,apple vinegar and enough sugar to balance.

For the sauce: Blend natural unsweetened yogourt, curry powder to taste and peach jam ( or prepared mango chutney if you feel fancy...  )

Perfect pairing? Tortillas and the rest of the 6pack of Corona you opened earlier!  HAHA!

Provecho!
