In Central
America and other parts of the tropics, many dishes are wrapped in banana
leaves, giving them a very special flavor. We have added a special Sunburst
Oranges twist to style of cooking.
Ingredients
1 Sunburst Navel
Orange cut into thin slices
1 Sunburst Lemon
cut into thin slices
2 tablespoon
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ cup finely
chopped fresh cilantro
6 garlic cloves,
finely chopped
GOYA® Adobo
Light All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, to taste
4 Banana Leafs
4 fillets (4 oz.
each) fresh tilapia, or other firm flesh white fish
1 cup medium
red, green, orange or yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup medium red
onion, thinly sliced
Directions
Pre-heat oven to
400˚ Fahrenheit
In small bowl,
mix together olive oil, cilantro and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to
taste and set aside.
Unfold banana
leaf. Cut off tough rib that runs along bottom edge of leaf with kitchen
shears. Gently cut leaf into 10 to 12 inch sections being careful not to split
them. Size to form packet of fish and ingredients.
Place a layer of
orange and lemon slices on the banana leaf. Place tilapia fillet on the citrus
slices in center of banana leaf; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place
another layer of orange and lemon slices on top of the tilapia. Stir the
reserved mixture to combine; spoon 2 tbsp. mixture over fish. Top layer with ¼
cup each peppers and onions. Fold two ends of banana leaf over fish to enclose;
fold in two edges to form packet.
Using kitchen
twine, tie packet to secure; transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining
ingredients to form 4 packets.
Bake until fish
is opaque and flakes easily with fork, about 20 minutes; transfer to plates.
Cut ties and discard. Open packets (banana leaves are not edible). Serve promptly.
An alternate is
not to use the peppers and onions.
