Ingredients
300 g of fish for soup | |
1 coffee cup of oil | |
a little lemon juice | |
2 eggs | |
3 medium onions cut into quarters | |
2 garlic teeth | |
5 medium potatoes, whole | |
2 whole carrots | |
A little hot chilli or a hot pepper | |
coarsely chopped celery | |
1 coffee cup of rice | |
a little chopped dill for garnish (optional) |
- Tip:
- Fish heads are never thrown away, as are their livers and eggs when they are fresh and used in soup.
- The best fish for soup are: Redfish, Cod, Grouper, Weevers, Rockfish in general, etc.
- Mashing, preferably done by hand, has a better result.
- Clean the fish and wash them well, salt them to remove the blood and leave them to clean for a few hours.
- Then wash them to remove the excess salt and put them in the pot to boil.
- When we boil the vegetables together with the fish as prerecorded, the smell of the fishy smell is broken.
- It is a benefit to rinse the bones that have been separated from the fish to get their precious juices and then throw them away.
- Instead of rice, it is more traditional-practical and tasty to add the pasta you prefer (manestra, astragalus, rice, etc.).
- If it is fasting we make the soup without eggs, beating the vegetables until they become very thick cream.
- When they are ready, pour them into the pot and stir without continuing to boil, because the oil will dry out and stick.
