Remove dorado’s scales. Cut the tail, the head and fins. Cut the dorado in slices. Then place it in a glass recipient and add lemon juice with salt and paprika as desired. Let it rest a few minutes and roll in flour. Then fry in a thick base recipient with pork butter.

Beans

Boil the beans till they are tender. Then end the boiling with cold water and remove the skin. Then toss it in butter before being served.

*Poached egg *

In a big pan, heat much water with 50 cm3 of vinegar for each liter of water. Wait for the boiling point. In the meanwhile, crack the egg in a bowl.

When water starts to boil, introduce a spoon in the pan and, with a circular movement, make a whirlpool in the center of the pot. Introduce the egg, sliding it gently. Cook the egg 2 and a half minutes, the necessary time to achieve the right point: a consistent white egg and a coagulated yolk. Remove the egg carefully, using a skimmer. To end the cooking let the egg cool down in a bowl with iced cold water. The poached eggs are boiled one by one.

It is recommended to add herbs in the butter (oregano, parsley, coriander, thyme)

El dato: DORADO

In the NOA rivers it is very common the traditional and sportive fishing. The best prize for these hours of patience is a dorado, with species that can reach in exceptional cases 30 kg. It has a very tasty flesh and many people chose to prepare it at the same place where they fished it, generally grilled. This way of cooking enables to appreciate its white and tender flesh.
