Pelliscos De Tamarindo Acapulqueño Recipes

Steps:

• Place the tamarind pulp in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Add the sugar and mash the pulp with a fork until blended. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Force the mixture through a sieve, pressing down hard on the solids, and discard the solids (seeds and tough fibers). Add 5 or 6 cups of cold water and taste for sugar balance. Add more water or sugar as desired, then serve in a tall glass over ice cubes, garnished with an orange segment.

Steps:

• Place the fish in a stainless-steel or other nonreactive bowl. Add the lime juice and gently stir to coat the fish. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the fish is opaque, about 3 hours.
• In a small bowl, stir together the tomato juice, olive oil, and oregano. Season to taste with salt, cover, and refrigerate.
• Just before serving, drain the fish and stir in the onion, tomatoes, chiles, olives, cilantro, and the tomato juice mixture. Taste for seasoning and add sugar and salt as needed. Add the avocado and toss gently. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.

Steps:

• Place tamarind pods, cleaned of all shells and peels, into a saucepan. Pour in 3 cups water, or as needed to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until water and pulp are reduced by 1/4, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Strain tamarind pulp through a fine mesh strainer into another saucepan; discard seeds. Pour remaining 5 cups water through strainer to wash as much pulp as possible into the mixture. If desired, check pulp left in strainer for any hard pieces of peel and shell and add pulp back into tamarind mixture.
• Place tamarind mixture over low heat and cook until warm but not boiling, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir sugar into tamarind mixture until sugar has dissolved. If mixture is too thick, add 1/4 cup water. Divide shaved ice into 6 glasses and pour tamarind mixture over shaved ice to serve.
