BY CHEF BRUCE BROMBERG  

HAWAIIAN KANPACHI CRUDO

Part: Fillet

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 cup smoked or fire roasted tomato
• 100 g (1 cup) Red Onion, quartered and sliced julienne
• 400 g (4 cups) mini sweet, assorted bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons chopped garlic

• 2 tablespoons fresh Oregano plus more for garnish, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
• 1 cup White Wine
• 8 ounces boneless and skinless Hawaiian Kanpachi filet
• Whole milk yogurt

PREPARATION 

To make the pepper relish

In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic, onion and peppers. Sweat over low heat till fragrant, about 15 minutes.

Add Calabrian chili, kosher salt and cook stirring until it sizzles, about 5 minutes longer. Deglaze with wine and allow the mixture to reduce till dry, about 10 minutes.

Turn off heat then add oregano and stir to combine then immediately transfer to a sheet pan and spread thin to cool quickly. When cool, transfer into a container with a lid and refrigerate till ready to use.

To serve the dish

Slice Kanpachi filet into 1/8-inch slices and place on a platter.

Generously top all the slices with the chilled pepper relish. Garnish each slice of fish with a dot of yogurt and sprinkle fresh oregano all over.
