I found this great recipe for a fish dish that I think you will all enjoy.

Seviche:

2 pounds of raw corvina (or whitefish) in fillets

2 small onions, chopped

1 cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

1 hot chili pepper (without the seeds), chopped

1 tablespoon gin

2 tablespoons olive oil

Dice the fish fillets and put them in a glass or porcelain bowl, Add the rest of the ingredients, stirring well. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Rectify the sale and serve with saled soda crackers.

Very tasty.

Also Tropial Seviche

2 lbs. shrimp (small)

2/3 cup fressh lemon jice

6 tablespoons minced onions

1/2 cup minced green pepper

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

1 large tomato, peeled and chopped

1 tablespoon Tarragon vinegar

1/2 tsp. oregano

salt and pepper to taste

Clean shrimp then cook for 2 to 3 minutes or just long enough to turn pink. Drain and put into covered bowl with lemon juice. Leave covered for 1 hour stirring two or three times. Drain and discard the liquid. Combine shrimp with remaining ingredients. Mix well, put into refrigerator for 1-1/2 hours. Also a half of avocado can be added to mix for variety.

These are two very tasty fish dishes that are truly Panamanian. Try them you will like them.

I absolutely love ceviche. I've seen this word spelled so many different ways. LOL. The tropical ceviche sounds very good. I'm going to give that recipe a try. Thanks for posting this!

EMPANADAS:

5 cups flour (unsifted)

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 cup shortening (Crisco preferred)

1 cup milk

Mix flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles crumbly meal. Gradually sprinkle in milk stirring until dough clings together. Knead 10 times. Let rest 1/2 hour.

Filling:

2 lbs. ground beef

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 to 2 tablespoons tomato paste

hot sauce (optional)

Mix ground beef with all the ingredients except tomato paste. Fry slowly in 1 tablespoon oil until cooked. Mash around a bit so it's crumbly. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons tomato paste (so that it's thick), stir very well. Turn off heat and let filling cool. Add as much hot sauce as you like. On a very well-floured surface, roll dough as thick as you would for pie crust (can divide it into 2 parts if desired). Cut 5"circles (using any container with 5" opening) and place filling on center of each circle. Brush beaten egg on lower edge of circles. Fold over and press edges with fork dipped in flour. Fry in lard about 2 minutes on each side until brown. Make sure there is enough lard to cover the empanadas-- about 3 - 4" deep.

*Can be frozen unfried. Stack between wax paper, sprinkling plenty of flour in between empanadas and wax paper, or they will stick together.

It could be enjoyable if you cooked it and served it for me. You see, a recipe is one thing and the cooking method, style and aptitude another. Anyway, does Panama food borrow from any culture(s)?

Fish fillet is a really delicious delicacy . Except for the fact that they taste like any other part of fish you are used to, it can easily pass as any other kind of meal.

Lexi, the fact that you have mentioned that you need the recipes for your class project would discourage help coming your way. You can perform online searches and you will come up with one or two of these.

Panama Recipe has a strong influence of the Spanish and American cuisines. As Panama is a coastal region, recipes of Panama include a lot of sea food. Recipes in Panama accommodate a lot of fresh and healthy vegetables as well as fruits. Even a lot of herbs and varieties of spices are used in Panama Cuisine for the aroma.

Spanish American is right concerning Panama cuisine, but unlike that of America, Panama utilizes the flavors and aromas of herbs and spices within their platters.

I am certain that many places in America love to use seasoning, and I mean, real seasoning for the matter, but for the most part, Americans simply do not use very much of it at all.

What are the most popular dish in Panama? I wonder how does the food in that country would actually taste. Eating is what makes my life go round, i love to eat.

But I am very much picky with the food that I eat, i would want to eat foods that are delicious, i do not want those foods that are prepared in a not so good method. Hope to hear from all of you here.

Here is one good tasting recipe

Baked Scrod "Seviche" Salad Recipe

Directions:

In a large greased jelly-roll pan arrange the scrod fillets in one layer and brush them with the additional oil. Bake the fish in the middle of a preheated 400F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it just flakes, transfer it to a bowl, and flake it into small pieces.

In another bowl whisk together the citrus juices, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the mustard, the Tabasco, the vinegar, the salt, the onion, the scallions, the garlic, the coriander, and pepper to taste, add the fish, and toss the salad well. Line 6 plates with the lettuce, divide the salad among the plates, and serve it with the toast.
