Ingredients

Step cooking

Prepare the ingredients

1. Peel onions, then rinse thoroughly and cut into thin half rings.
   
2. Peel the carrots, wash them and rub them on a coarse grater or grater for Korean carrots. Some hostesses prefer to cut carrots into thin cubes.
   
3. Mackerel in the amount of two pieces is completely defrosted.
   
4. Wash thawed fish with running water, then remove the head, take out the insides and wash it thoroughly again. Cut the prepared mackerel into slices 2-3 cm wide.
   

We collect canned food

1. We sterilize two half-liter cans in any convenient way. In each of the cans we lower 1 bay leaf and 2 peas of black pepper.
   
2. At the bottom of the can, drop a small amount of chopped onions and carrots, then tightly ram a few pieces of mackerel. On top of the fish we again place the vegetable mixture and pieces of fish.
   
3. We alternate vegetables and mackerel until the container is filled to the very neck. Pour 20 ml of vegetable oil into each of the cans and add 10 g of table salt.
   
4. Pour the prepared ingredients with bottled water without gas, leaving about 1 cm free from the neck. The fact is that during the preservation process, the fish will let the juice go, so it is important not to fill the containers at the very neck.
   

Conservation process

1. Jars with contents are tightly covered with lids. We send canned goods in a cold oven and put them on the grill at a small distance from each other. Please note that we put the cans in the cold oven! We turn on the upper and lower heating, and also set the temperature to 150 ° C.
   
2. We maintain fish preservation in the oven for at least 1 hour. We take out the cans from the oven and roll them with lids. We transfer preservation to a dark, warm place, where we carefully wrap it in an old warm blanket.
   
3. We leave the fish treat in this form until completely cooled. I recommend to withstand canned food for about 12 hours.
