#3 — Fish in tomato with carrots
I found this half-forgotten recipe of Soviet cuisine in my grandmother’s old notepad. Thanks to it, even the modest fish is transformed into a rich delicacy.
Ingredients:
- fish without small bones, absolutely any (hake, pollock, pike perch, etc.)
- carrot (1 big piece)
- tomatoes paste (2 table spoons)
Cut the fish into portions, roll in flour and salt. Now fry the fish as you are used to in sunflower oil until cooked. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise, then into small pieces.
The vegetable must be fried until half cooked. Add tomato paste and about 200 ml of water to the carrots. Add salt, sugar, peppercorns and cloves to the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the fish in a deep pan, add a bay leaf and put on fire. Once it boils, simmer for 15–17 minutes (with the lid closed).
Fish in tomato and carrot sauce should be served cold.
#4 — Creamy corn soup
Puree 250 g of canned corn in a blender. Leave some whole grains.
Heat the cooking cream (200 ml), add the puree, some hot water (if needed) and cook over medium heat for several minutes. Add salt, some butter and the rest of the corn.
Serve soup with croutons and any greenery.
#5 — Summer salad “Achik-chuchuk Shakarob”
It came to us from Uzbekistan, along with pilaf, and is traditionally served with pilaf. Although it also goes well with charcoal-cooked meat.
Tomatoes for this recipe must be very ripe and juicy.
To prepare the salad you need:
- 4 tomatoes
- 2 small red onions
- 2 tbsp. of vegetable oil
Prepare the onions. Peel and cut into thin half rings. Pour boiling water over it to remove the bitterness, place in a colander to drain all the water. If desired, marinate in apple cider vinegar with salt and sugar — 30 minutes will be enough.
Wash the tomatoes and dry with paper towels. Cut into arbitrary pieces — do not make them small. Most often, they are cut into slices, half-slices, or chopped into thin circles.
In a large bowl, combine tomatoes and onions. Season with salt, pepper generously, stir and serve.
I hope you enjoyed these recipes. And you will cook at least one. Or all of them! 🤩
