spicy tawilis




i have fresh tawilis vacationing in the freezer for a while and needed to get it consumed. i thought about cooking and preserving it in some way, like spicy tuyo (herring). so i found a spicy tuyo recipe. and since i haven't gone to the supermarket and has severe lack of most ingredients, i made do.

ingredients:
fresh tawilis (i had about 8-10 big pieces, each piece about 5-6 inches)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
about 2 tbsp of crushed garlic

1. quick fry the tawilis in hot oil. set aside. (i removed the head and tail)
2. heat canola and olive oil
3. add garlic and cook until slightly browned and starting to get crispy at the edges
4. add vinegar and cayenne pepper. bring to a happy boil.
5. add the fish. let fry for about 2 minutes.
6. transfer to a bowl or container. it should keep for a few days.
