Step cooking
Today we will prepare a delicious and healthy aspic from red fish.
- We will use salmon: ridge, head, pieces of pulp. Before use, we wash the fish under running water, clean it from scales, cut it into pieces, separating the head and tail. I buy for the jellied ridge separately. It also needs to be washed before use. Put all the parts in a pan, set aside.
- We clear the onion from the husk, wash it under the tap, and place it in a pan with fish, too. Peel a medium-sized carrot, peel it, and add it to the pan.
- Now we throw 4 small bay leaves, fill it with cold clean water, put the pan on the fire. Pour water so that it covers the fish for 2-3 centimeters. Bring to a boil, remove the resulting foam with a slotted spoon, salt to taste, reduce heat. Continue to simmer until the fish is ready.
- The fish should cook for about half an hour. After 30 minutes, turn off the fire. We take fish pieces out of the broth, set aside for cooling. We filter the fish broth. Now you need to collect fat from the broth. We do this with paper napkins, gently dipping them on top, where a lot of fat has accumulated.
- Soak gelatin in cold water. To know how much gelatin is needed for a dish, carefully read the instructions on the pack. It indicates the number of proportions per volume of water. So you can calculate how much gelatin you need to soak for the resulting broth, and you know its volume. When the gelatin dissolves, add hot broth to it, mix well.
- On the stove, cook 6-8 quail eggs, peel them, cut into halves. We free the flesh of salmon from bones, put it in a special transparent container for aspic, pre-pouring a little broth on the bottom of the container so that the bottom is covered.
- We place halves of quail eggs, canned green peas among the salmon meat. By the way, you can cook and fresh peas, use to form a jellied dish. We also distribute several pomegranate grains, carrot slices, which we cooked in the broth, after cutting it before filling.
- Now fill the container with the resulting broth, leave it on the table until it cools completely. When the broth cools down, place the container in the refrigerator for several hours.
After a few hours, we get a very beautiful-looking and tasty product. It can be prepared for the festive table, for meetings, weddings, birthdays, for the New Year holidays.
The main component of the jellied dish, red fish, has a bunch of advantages. Our salmon, one of the types of red fish, has a beneficial effect on the human body: it improves metabolism, blood circulation, normalizes the liver, digestive organs, strengthens the immune system and nervous system.
