It is necessary
-
- 1 pike perch carcass;
- 12 g gelatin;
- 1 carrot;
- 1 onion;
- 1 bay leaf;
- salt;
- water.
Instructions
Step 1
Peel a pike perch weighing about a kilogram, gut and rinse well. Cut off the head, tail, fins. Cut the gills out of the head. Separate the fillets from the bones and cut into portions.
Step 2
Place the head, tail, bones, and fins in a saucepan. Put peeled and washed carrots and whole onion there. Add 1 bay leaf, salt to a saucepan and cover everything with water.
Step 3
Put the saucepan on fire, bring its contents to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Place the pieces of pike perch in a pot of fish stock and cook until tender.
Step 5
Remove pieces of boiled pike perch from the pan with a slotted spoon, put them on a dish, forming a whole fish. Leave a small gap between the pieces of fish. Place the fish dish in a cool place.
Step 6
Soak 12 g of gelatin in half a glass of water for 40 minutes. Then heat the gelatin over low heat, stirring constantly, until completely dissolved. Pour the settled fish broth into another bowl. Bring 2, 5 cups of broth to a boil and mix with the dissolved gelatin.
Step 7
Garnish each piece of pike-perch with boiled carrots, cut into nice slices, green leaves or thin slices of lemon. Gently fill the zander with the prepared jelly. This should be done in 2-3 steps, making sure that the jewelry does not budge. Every time after pouring a portion of jelly on the fish, put the dishes with it in the refrigerator. Pour the next portion of the broth when the previous one has completely solidified.
Step 8
Serve with cabbage salad, fresh or pickled cucumbers.
Bon Appetit!
