Directions

  1. To prepare the pickled red onions, pack onions into a clean, dry mason jar, leaving at least ½-in (1.25 cm) room at the top.
  2. In a small pot over high heat, combine water, vinegar, salt, peppercorns, cumin, coriander and bring to a boil.  Pour over onions and cool to room temperature. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
  3. Pickled onions can be made ahead and stored, sealed in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks. Try mixing red onions with sliced radishes, jalapenos, carrots, cauliflower or any crisp vegetable you have on hand.
  4. For the mackerel tingas, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and warm olive oil. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened and beginning to caramelize. Add garlic, chipotle powder, cumin and oregano and cool 1 minute more.
  5. Pour in tomato sauce and stock or water and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mackerel and stir gently. Cook until mackerel is warmed through, about 2 minutes more and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve with warm corn tortillas, pickled red onions, cilantro and queso fresco.
