Fish Tacos with Smoked Corn Salsa

Corn Salsa:
4 Ears smoked corn on the cob
2 Jalapenos minced
2 Cloves minced garlic
1 large green bell pepper seeded and diced
1 Chipotle pepper minced
1 Red onion, diced
1 Roma tomato seeded and diced.
1/4 C Fresh lime juice
1 T Cumino
Mix all ingredients and store in plastic container over night.

6 Talapia, Catfish (or 3 oz. portions of cod filets)
1 C whole milk
1/2 C canola oil
1 T Cayenne
Corn meal for dredge
12 Corn tortillas
Salt and pepper to taste

Soak fish in milk for 2o minutes, drain. Season fillets with cayenne. Dredge in corn meal. Saute fish in small batches keeping cooked fish warm (I use a paper towel covered plate and put them in the microwave). Warm tortillas in remaining canola, and drain. It should take less than a second to warm each tortilla.

Serve two tortillas stacked with each fillet, top with salsa.

Braised Spareribs

1 Clove Garlic Minced
1 C Chicken Stock
1/2 C Port Wine
1/4 C Golden Raisins

In large dutch oven, parboil spareribs for 5 minutes. Remove from dutch oven and discard water. Gently saute onion, apples, and garlic over low heat. Deglaze with port wine off the heat. Return dutch oven to low heat, add spareribs, raisins, and dijon mustard. Braise for 1 hour or until tender. Remove ribs to baking pan. Using a stick blender, puree liquid to desired consistency and pour over ribs. Put ribs under broiler for 3 minutes to “set” the sauce.
