Bleak is a small fish weighing about 60 g. Unfortunately, culinary experts do not pay worthy attention to bleak. However, fish can be used to make delicious and varied dishes.
How to cook bleak sprats in a slow cooker
To prepare the dish, you will need the following ingredients: 1 kg of bleak, 10 teaspoons of large leaf tea, 75 ml of vegetable oil, 400 ml of boiling water, a tablespoon of salt, ground black pepper, bay leaves, cloves. Soy sauce can be used if desired.
The heads of the fish are cut off and the insides are carefully removed. The cleaned bleak is thoroughly washed in cold running water. Tea is brewed with boiling water and infused for 10 minutes.
The cleaned bleak is transferred to the multicooker bowl. Spices and salt are added to the bowl. If the bleak is prepared with soy sauce, the amount of salt must be halved. Otherwise, the dish will turn out to be too salty. Prepare sprats from bleak for 2 hours in slow cooking mode.
Ready sprats are cooled without removing from the bowl. If you shift the hot fish, the carcasses will fall apart, and the dish will look unpresentable. Delicious bleak sprats will be a great addition to the table!
Fried bleak

The fish is served to the table, garnished with lemon wedges, ripe cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs.
