Adolfo Garcia, RioMar. Adolfo's love of fresh seafood and his Panamanian ancestry are reflected in both the menu at RioMar and this recipe. Escabeche is a traditional Spanish way of preserving game meat with an acidic marinade, which was adapted for the more-available fish all across Latin America. This dish turns the marinade into a sauce, eliminating the need for hours in the fridge.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium green pepper, sliced thinly
  • 1 small red onion, sliced thinly
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
  • 6 pitted black olives, sliced
