GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH COLESLAW AND GUACAMOLE


This is quite a spread and you will impress your guests without standing too much in the kitchen. The great thing about this meal is that you do not necessarily have to serve it as a taco but you can use the coleslaw as a sidedish and the guacomole with the tomatoes as your fish sauce. However you want to serve this you will not be disappointed.

Serves 2 generously

Fish Skewers Ingredients:
  • 4 small Haddock or cod fish fillets, cut fish into chunks (if the fillets happen to be large then use only 2)
  • 1 red pepper, cut into large cubes around the same size as the fish chunks
  • 1 green pepper, cut into large cubes around the same size as the fish chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup of brown sauce (HP Sauce is good for this)
  • 2 limes, sliced into wedges (to squeeze on top of the fish when you serve)
  • 4-6 skewers, soaked in water prior to using them
  • Package of soft small tortillas (warm them up before serving)

Cut the fish fillets into thick sized chunks and make sure that you cut each chunk the same size in order to make sure that the fish cooks evenly. Then do the same with the red and green peppers. Then skewer the fish and the peppers, making sure that they alternate. Drizzle the olive oil and season the fish with the salt, pepper and the thyme. Then brush on the brown sauce on top of the fish and peppers. Heat either your home griddle pan or your BBQ and cook the fish skewers about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Coleslaw Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red onion, sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 3 tbsp light mayo
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp seasoning blend
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

In a large salad bowl, to make the dressing add in the mayo, mustard, seasoning, white wine vinegar and the olive oil. Whisk this together and then add the rest of the coleslaw ingredients and using tongs mix it all together. Put it right into the fridge until ready to serve.

Quick Guacomole Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados, mashed using a potato masher
  • juice of a lime
  • 1 ripe tomato, diced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt

In a medium sized bowl, take the avocados, peel and scoop the flesh out with a spoon and mash it with a potato masher. Squeeze the lime and add in the paprika and salt and mix altogether. Chop the tomato and slowly mix it into the avocado mixture.

Serve all of these dishes on the table and let people help themselves. You can pile as much or as little as you like on top of the tortilla and enjoy!
