1. | Place the onions, potatoes, carrots, garlic, celery and oil in a pot and boil for 15 minutes. |
2. | Then add the cleaned fish, whole or in large pieces (depending on what you have). |
3. | Allow everything to boil well and skim as much as necessary. |
4. | Then strain them in a colander and keep the juice. |
5. | When cool, separate the fish from the rest of the ingredients and scoop out the fish, keeping the fish in a bowl. |
6. | Take the rest of the boiled ingredients, being careful not to find any fish bones, and puree them in a blender, adding the rest of the oil to thicken, the lemon juice and as much water-juice as needed to facilitate the blender. |
7. | Calculate the water by adding as much water as necessary to the reserved stock and bring the pot to a boil. |
8. | Add the fish and the pureed ingredients and bring to a boil. |
9. | Add the washed rice and when it boils, in 10 minutes, turn off the heat. |
10. | Be careful not to boil the rice thoroughly, as it will continue to boil until it cools down. |
11. | Then prepare the egg sauce(augolemono) |
12. | Then, stirring the pot constantly, add the augolemono little by little, being careful not to " split " it. |
13. | Taste the flavor, correct and serve warm. |
14. | When serving, garnish each dish with chopped dill. |
15. | Tip: |
16. | Fish heads are never thrown away, as are their livers and eggs when they are fresh and used in soup. |
17. | The best fish for soup are: Redfish, Cod, Grouper, Weevers, Rockfish in general, etc. |
18. | Mashing, preferably done by hand, has a better result. |
19. | Clean the fish and wash them well, salt them to remove the blood and leave them to clean for a few hours. |
20. | Then wash them to remove the excess salt and put them in the pot to boil. |
21. | When we boil the vegetables together with the fish as prerecorded, the smell of the fishy smell is broken. |
22. | 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. |
23. | Instead of rice, it is more traditional-practical and tasty to add the pasta you prefer (manestra, astragalus, rice, etc.). |
24. | If it is fasting we make the soup without eggs, beating the vegetables until they become very thick cream. |
25. | When they are ready, pour them into the pot and stir without continuing to boil, because the oil will dry out and stick. |
