Veracruz-Style Red Snapper Menu
 
BY: Recipes by Karen Levin
This menu for four matches Veracruz-Style Red Snapper with steamed green beans and fruit tea.

Total Time: 25 minutes

Adding fresh cilantro and olives to bottled salsa and canned beans gives you fresh-from-the-garden taste without much chopping. Feel free to use your favorite canned beans for variety. The salsa is also great with grilled chicken.

Game Plan

1. Prepare grill or broiler

2. While grill is heating, coat fish with cooking spray (sprinkle with spice mixture), wash and trim green beans and prepare salsa

3. While fish is grilling, steam green beans, covered, for five minutes (or until crisp-tender), prepare tea mixture (pour over ice just before serving) and cut lime wedges

Quick Tips

To chop cilantro quickly, wash and dry the entire bunch while its still bound together. Starting at the top of the bunch, chop only the amount of cilantro leaves you need. (Don't worry about including the stems; they wont affect the flavor.) This method also works for parsley.

Fruit tea: Combine 4 cups unsweetened tea with 1/2 cup raspberry or fruit-flavored syrup (such as Torani) in a pitcher. Fill four tall glasses 3/4 full of ice; pour tea mixture over ice just before serving. Garnish with lime wedges.
