VERACRUZ SAUCE (FOR FISH OR CHICKEN)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Warm oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute garlic briefly to release its flavor.
- Add tomatoes and onions and cook over low heat until tomatoes soften, about 20 minutes.
- Add jalapeño, olives, oregano, capers, water, and salt, to taste. Simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
- Serve Veracruz Sauce over grilled or pan-fried white fish or chicken breast. Accompany this with white rice , if you like.
- Use one whole red snapper of about 3 pounds or two pounds of snapper filets. If using the whole snapper, clean it and remove the scales, but leave the head and tail on for presentation.
- Prick the fish with a fork on both sides.
- Lay the fish (or the filets) in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Whisk together 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and 2 cloves (diced) of garlic. Pour this marinade over the snapper and refrigerate for about an hour.
- Make Veracruz Sauce (above), but reduce garlic to only 2 or 3 cloves. Simmer sauce for only about 5 minutes after adding jalapeños and other ingredients, as it will finish cooking in the oven.
- Cover the fish with the sauce and bake in a 300 F (150 C) oven for about 30 minutes, turning once.

VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER
I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.

- Cook and stir in garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add capers and caper juice; stir to combine.
- Stir in tomatoes, olives, jalapeno pepper, . Cook and stir until jalapeno pepper softens and tomatoes begin to collapse, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in oregano.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil into a small baking dish. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of the tomato-olive mixture. Top with 1 snapper fillet, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Top with more filling and juice from 1 lime. Repeat with remaining snapper fillet, seasoning, and lime juice in a second baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish is flaky and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- In a medium stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add whole garlic cloves, and cook, stirring, until golden on all sides. Remove garlic and discard. Add minced garlic and the onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
- Add olives, chiles, capers, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, marjoram, oregano, salt, canela, and wine. Cook until the sauce has thickened to desired consistency, 15 to 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning. If using fresh whole herbs, remove and discard before serving.
FISH VERA CRUZ
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, boil the tomatoes, jalapenos, oregano, and garlic salt for about 8 minutes, or until tomatoes have cooked down to a liquid. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. *Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return sauce to pan, add chopped onion and cilantro, and stir well. Heat through and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (you can use as little as 2 tablespoons oil to up to 1/2-inch deep). Season fish with salt and pepper and then carefully place in the pan; this may require adding the fish in 2 batches if your skillet is not large enough to hold all 4 fillets. Saute or pan-fry the fish until cooked on 1 side (fish will be opaque on that side). Carefully flip fish and continue cooking until cooked on second side and cooked through in the middle; the fish should be opaque in the middle. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of the fish fillets and the type of fish, but it should not take more than 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer fish onto a serving platter or each of 4 dinner plates and top with the sauce. Serve immediately.
PESCADO EN SALSA VERDE (FISH FILLETS IN GREEN SAUCE)
From "A Taste of Old Cuba." this recipe originally came from a 1950's Cuban TV cooking show--Cocina al Minuto--and can be made in 30 minutes and it couldn't be easier. You can use any white fleshed fish (snapper, flounder, grouper, etc.) and it's a great meal with rice, salad, and good bread to sop up the sauce. I like to add one little hot red pepper, chopped, but that's up to you--as is the amount of garlic.

Steps:
- Blot the fillets dry--really dry--to avoid a watery sauce.
- In a blender, combine olive oil, wine, vinegar, parsley, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and blend on high until smooth.
- In a large skillet, arrange the fish snugly in a single layer and pour the sauce over the fish.
- If the fish won't fit in one layer, arrange the fish in two layers, pouring half the sauce over the first layer and the rest over the top.
- Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat.
- Immediately reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan and gently simmer the fish for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes when pierced with a fork.
- Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets; if they are thin, they will be done in less time.
