  • Preparation: 200 min
  • Cooking: 40 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (373 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Pescatarian, Dairy-free
  • Contains: celery, fish, gluten

Ingredients

  • 130 g White fish fillets (cod or pollock), raw
  • 8 g Flour, for coating
  • 16 g Rapeseed oil (for frying and the vegetables)
  • 60 g Carrot
  • 25 g Parsley root (or parsnip)
  • 30 g Celeriac
  • 35 g Onion
  • 50 g Water
  • 15 g Tomato paste (koncentrat)
  • 0.1 g Bay leaf
  • 0.2 g Allspice
  • 0.5 g Sweet paprika
  • 2 g Sugar
  • 1 g Salt
  • 0.1 g Black pepper

Method

  1. Cut the fish into serving pieces, season them with a little of the salt and pepper and leave them for 10 minutes.
  2. Grate the carrot, parsley root and celeriac coarsely, and chop the onion finely.
  3. Heat half the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft, then add the grated vegetables and the water, cover and stew over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste, the bay leaf and the allspice and cook for 5 minutes more. Season with the rest of the salt and pepper, the paprika and the sugar: the vegetables should be rich with tomato, slightly sweet and a little tangy.
  5. Pat the fish dry, coat it in the flour and fry it in the rest of the oil for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Drain it on kitchen paper.
  6. Lay the fish in a dish and cover it completely with the warm vegetables.
  7. Leave it to cool, then cover and chill it for at least 3 hours, best overnight, so the fish takes up the sauce. Serve it cold: it is one of the dishes of the Polish Christmas Eve supper, Wigilia.
