# [Mexican Recipe with Tequila: Modern "Manchamanteles"](https://www.casasauza.com/all-about-tequila/mexican-recipe-with-tequila-modern-manchamanteles)

*Manchamanteles* literally means "tablecloth stainer" and it is a very typical Mexican dish. It is made with fish and fruits ([mamey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pouteria_sapota) and apple). It also has some goat cheese in it, which makes its flavor a very particular one. If all these flavors weren't enough, that extra *Hornitos® Silver Tequila* touch certainly makes it a very special dish, one that will surely become a favorite.

This recipe serves 2 people and it is prepared in 70 minutes.

But what exactly is a* Machamanteles? ***Lacquered* s*lice of *[Huachinango](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_red_snapper) *in an apple and [jamaica flower ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibiscus)compote, garnished with an apple, *[mamey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pouteria_sapota)* and roquefort cheese [quenelle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quenelle).**

Sounds fancy, right? Well, wait no more, we here share our exotic Mexican recipe with tequila with you:

### **Ingredients**

- 500 g *[Huachinango](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_red_snapper)* slice or fillet
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 20 ml Olive oil

**Sauce**:

- 100 g Jamaica Flowers (Hibiscus)
- 300 ml water
- 5 Tsp sugar
- 125 ml concentrated fish broth

**Garnish:**

- 50 ml *Hornitos® Plata Tequila*
- 10 g butter
- 1 piece of [Mamey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pouteria_sapota) (you can use papaya instead if you can't find *mamey*)
- 3 apples
- 125 g Brown sugar
- 100 g Goat cheese
- 1 pinch of ground cinnamon

 

### **Preparation**

Clean the fillet and cut into 200 to 250 g slices. Season with salt and pepper, sear with oil and set aside.

**Sauce:**

Boil the *jamaica* with the water until it releases flavor and color. Remove the jamaica leaves and add the sugar. Cook over low heat until reduced to a 50% and set aside.

Cook the fish stock on low heat until its reduced to a 50% of your initial preparation.

Mix both reductions and once again cook over low heat until its consistency is of a 50%.

When the sauce is thick, glaze the fish with it and bake for 20 minutes in the oven (110 ° C/ 230 ° F).

**Garnish:**

Peel the apples and the *mamey *and remove their heart. Chop them into small pieces and set aside.

Place the butter in a saucepan until it melts and add the brown sugar. Then add the chopped fruit and beat until mashed. Add *Hornitos® Silver Tequila *and cook until the mixture hardens. Season with goat cheese and cinnamon, set aside.

### **Plating**

Use a spatula as if it was a brush and "paint" the dish with the garnish puree. Place the *Huachinango* on top of it.
