Ingredients

Step cooking

We prepare the components

1. Defrost about a kilogram of fish. Remove the entrails from the carcasses of herring, cut off the tail fin, and rinse the fish prepared for stewing under running water. Three medium-sized bulbs dissolve in thin half rings.
   
2. Grate three medium carrots on a coarse grater.
   
3. Put 2 tbsp in a cup. l tomato paste, dilute 400 ml of filtered water, and mix until a thick sauce is formed.
   

Stew fish

1. Put a little, just a couple of spoons, of vegetable oil at the bottom of the stewing container (pot, stewpan or ducklings). Lay out all prepared components in layers. Lay the third part of the chopped onion with the first layer. Pour a third of the grated carrots onto the onion. Lay the prepared herring in one row and add a small pinch of salt to it.
   
2. Put a layer of half of the remaining onion on the fish, then carrots, leaving a little on the final layer. Lay a layer of the remaining fish, and salt well. Put 2-3 bay leaves on the fish layer and pour out a mixture of black and allspice 4-5 peas each. Evenly spread onion and carrot residue over the contents of the pan.
   
3. Pour the fish into a stewing container with a sauce of diluted tomato paste. Sprinkle top coat ¾ st. l (or one dessert spoon) of granulated sugar. Pour the contents of the pan with 100 ml of vegetable oil.
   
4. Cover the pan and place on the stove with maximum heating. As soon as the contents of the pan boil, remove the heat to a minimum, and simmer the dish with the lid closed for about an hour and a half.
   

Serving and decoration

Serve stewed with vegetables and garnished with garnish, and as a separate dish. The fish is equally good both hot and cold served. Decorate the dish with finely chopped herbs. The most common option is parsley with dill. Garnish is offered with hinged rice or variously cooked potatoes, as well as fresh vegetables - cucumbers and tomatoes, or a vegetable salad prepared from them.
