Chef Robert Legget, resident chef for Philly Beer Scene magazine, shares his recipe for wild striped bass IPA ceviche with pink grapefruit, Sly Fox Brewing Co.'s Route 113 IPA vinaigrette, gastrique, habanero, tobiko and crispy won tons.
12 oz raw sugar
Texture and Garnish
1 pink grapefruit, sectioned
Red tobiko
2 Tbsp poblano, finely diced
2 Tbsp cucumber, finely diced
2 Tbsp red onion, finely diced
2 Tbsp cilantro, finely diced
If you have a home fryer or a kettle, crisp up some won ton strips to top the ceviche for some additional crunch.
Directions
Bass
Add about 4 oz of lime juice and sea salt to taste to the bass. Make sure it is well incorporated and well tossed. Let it sit for no longer than 15 minutes. Blow torch lightly for extra depth if desired. Chill and continue with the following steps.
Vinaigrette
Combine all ingredients. Puree in a blender until smooth, chill and reserve.
Reduction
Combine all ingredients. Reduce in a stainless steel pan until the liquid coats the spoon. Chill and reserve.
Ingredients
Mix the bass and vinaigrette. Taste for needed salt. The reduction, tobiko and won tons (optional) will be used as a garnish. Serve in little chilled dishes with tortilla chips, or in a big bowl, chips and salsa style.
Alaskan Smoked Porter adds depth to these tasty starters which took home first place in the appetizer category at the 2010 Alaskan Brewing Co. Brew Crew and Investor Cook-Off.
This recipe for bbq meatballs calls for Sprecher Brewing Co.’s root beer BBQ sauce, but you can substitute any pop-inspired sauce. It makes all the difference in flavor of this dish. The recipe yields a lot of meatballs, so it’s a great choice for a large gathering.
