Escabeche is a Spanish dish of marinated fish or meat with vinegar, wine, spices and vegetables.
Originally brought to Spain by the Moors, there are now versions all around the Mediterranean. "Escabecio" in Italy, "Savoro" in Greece and "Scabetche" in North Africa.
We're using Salmon for our version but you could use Sardines, Mackerel, or Tuna. You can also use meat, such as Chicken, Rabbit and game birds.
