Method
- Dice the cod into evenly-sized pieces. Cover and chill until they’re required.
- Make the batter as per instructions. Cover and chill until it’s also required.
- Chargrill the pepper until it’s blackened, before skinning and dicing. Set this aside in a mixing bowl.
- Sear the corn until it’s blackened, then add this to the red pepper.
- Finely dice the red onion before adding it to the red pepper and corn. Mix them all together and dress with half the oil and the juice from the 2 limes.
- Finely slice the white and red cabbage and place them into a mixing bowl. Add the chimichurri and mayonnaise, as well as the juice from 1 lime. Mix well.
- Deep fry the cod at 180c until it’s cooked. Keep it warm.
- Dry cook the tortillas before filling them with salad, the red pepper mix, cod, and then drizzle with your Peruvian aji verde dressing (recipe below).
- Finally, serve the tacos up with some fresh lime wedges and a sprinkling of coriander.
- (Aji Verde dressing) De-seed the green chilli and roughly chop. Place it into a food blender.
- (Aji Verde dressing) Add peeled garlic, chopped spring onion, white wine vinegar, mayonnaise, salt, half of the olive oil and blend them all together until the mixture is smooth.
- (Aji Verde dressing) Add the coriander as well as the zest and juice from the limes, and blend until it is smooth and a nice vibrant green colour.
- (Aji Verde dressing) Remove the mixture from the blender and drizzle the remainder of the olive oil in, just before serving.
