Ingredients

  • 150 g Carp, raw

  • 30 g Tomatoes, raw

Method

  1. Sauté the sliced onion in the oil in a large pot over low heat for about 15 minutes, until very soft and golden but not browned.
  2. Take the pot off the heat and stir in the paprika and cayenne so they don't scorch, then add the green pepper, tomato and water.
  3. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes to make a rich, red broth; season with the salt.
  4. Add the fish pieces (carp, or another firm freshwater fish fillet) and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until just cooked through and flaking easily.
  5. Ladle into bowls, keeping the fish pieces whole, and serve hot with fresh bread.
