For some reason, eggs and tomatoes with mushrooms are usually stuffed on holidays. But stuffed fish can also serve as an excellent snack and decoration of the festive table. This recipe will make a delicious stuffed mackerel.
It is necessary
- - 2 mackerels;
- - 2 carrots, 2 onions;
- - 1 bunch of dill;
- - 2 tbsp. tablespoons of gelatin;
- - salt, pepper to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Take two fresh mackerel, rinse it, carefully free it from all the seeds and cut it lengthwise into two halves. Pepper and salt the fish, at this stage you can season the fish with any spices you like.
Step 2
Rinse a bunch of fresh dill, shake it off excess moisture, chop it smaller and sprinkle it on the fish with a generous layer.
Step 3
Peel the carrots and onions, grate the carrots on a large grater, and finely chop the onion. Fry the onions with carrots in a small amount of vegetable or olive oil, put half of the vegetable mass on one half of the mackerel along the entire length. Sprinkle the other half with 1 tablespoon of gelatin. Follow the same procedure for the second mackerel.
Step 4
Combine the halves of the mackerel, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap in several layers. Place two wrapped fish in boiling water and cook for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the hot, ready-made fish from the water, put it under a press. You can put a cutting board on top of the fish, and something heavier is already on it, for example, a bag of cereals. In this form, the mackerel should cool, then put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours without removing the cling film.
Step 6
Cut the prepared stuffed mackerel into pieces and serve as a snack. It is better to cut the fish directly in cling film - then the pieces will be smoother and the fish will not fall apart. Free each piece from the film.
