Tinned Fish with Dressed Winter Citrus

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Brighten your table with this quick, refreshing small plate that pairs pantry-staple tinned fish with vibrant winter citrus. My plate features canned hake, but feel free to swap it for any tinned white fish, tuna, or mackerel. The citrus pictured are a mandarin and cara cara orange; mix and match a couple types of citrus for a more vibrant color.

The Fuzhou Float 🍷🍨🍒 Chinese wine just doesn’t ge The Fuzhou Float 🍷🍨🍒

Chinese wine just doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves, especially not in the US. I’ve called in my friends Jess, who writes about Chinese wine, and Allen, who makes it. 

Allen challenged me to make an ice cream using his qinghong lees, the byproduct of making the iconic red-green Fuzhounese wine. I landed on incorporating cherries and strained yogurt to echo the refreshingly tart flavor of qinghong, finished with a float of filtered young qinghong.

Vanilla five spice whipped sweet potatoes with @li Vanilla five spice whipped sweet potatoes with @lifewaykefir #ad

Makes 4 servings

1.5 lbs sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup Lifeway whole milk kefir
1/2 vanilla pod, scraped or 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon five spice
1 teaspoon kosher salt

1. Heat the oven to 400F. Stab each sweet potato with a fork then transfer to a sheet tray and bake until tender all the way through, about 40 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel away the skins.

2. Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter until the milk solids are golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Take the pan off heat and stir in the vanilla pod, vanilla seeds, and five spice. 

3. Add the sweet potato flesh, kefir, and salt to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Discard the spent vanilla pod and stream the warm brown butter into the sweet potatoes. Pulse until incorporated. Serve hot.
