Kinilaw is a method of preparing food using acids/sours to "cook" raw fish from the Philippines. It is similar to the Latin American dish, ceviche. As a kid, I grew up eating different types of kinilaw from the different regions of the Philippines.

My friend Glen taught me his take on his Kinilaw dish with a modern twist.

Directions

Tomato Ice - Prep 1 Day Before
Step 1

Take all 8 medium tomatoes and slice them in half

Step 2

Place halved tomatoes onto a baking tray (I used my deep tray with a wired rack attached)

Step 3

Set oven to BROIL - once it reaches 500 degrees - place in oven and broil for 10 minutes

Step 4

Remove tomatoes from oven and let them cool down to the point that they are easy to handle

Step 5

Once the tomatoes are cool to touch, remove the skin of the tomatoes

Step 6

Place the tomatoes, lemon juice, ancho chiles, sriracha & a pinch of salt into a food processor or blender and blend until you reach a smoothie consistency

Step 7

Use a strainer to separate the juice into a bowl.

Step 8

Take the tomato juice and place into a tray that you can freeze

Step 9

Freeze the mixture overnight

Juice Prep
Step 1

Squeeze out the juice from the citrus fruits (grapefruit, lime, orange

lemon)

Step 2

Add grated ginger, shallots & a pinch of salt to the juice

and set aside

Kinilaw
Step 1

Thinly slice the fish using a one stroke motion - you don't want to cut back and forth or else you will ruing the fish.

Step 2

Mix the fish & the juice mix together

Step 3

Let the fish sit in the juice for 5 minutes

Step 4

You don't want to let the fish sit in the marinade for too long or else it will become too tough.

Step 5

Cut all the garnishes

Step 6

Shave the Tomato Ice using the ice machine or if you don't have one readily available, just do it the old fashioned way and use a fork to shave the ice.

Step 7

Style the plates by placing the garnishes and ice however you want - make it pretty! Why not right?Transfer the fish and juice mix to the plates and serve immediately!
