CROATIAN BOILED FISH (AND SOUP)



Croatian Boiled Fish (And Soup) image

This is very old recipe from Dalmatia. The difference between regions in Dalmatia is that some put vegetables in a soup same not. I'm going to give you the simplest recipe, ingredients "sine qua non" as old Romans would have said. Using water you've cooked fish you can make nice soup. Just add cooked rice, olive oil and fresh parsley, filter the soup and you have it - nice and tasty.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 liter water
400 g white fish (bream etc)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tomatoes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
2 vegetable bouillon cubes (Podravka brand if possible) or 2 teaspoons Vegeta (Podravka brand if possible)
50 g rice
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
4 medium sized bay leaves

Steps:

  • In cold water, place the cleaned fish cut into chunks, add oil, tomato sliced in half, lemon juice, bay leaves and peppercorns. When the soup boils, add the vegetable stock cubes and cook for about 20 minutes.
  • At the same time cook 1/2 cup of your prefered white rice. Once done strain and set aside.
  • Remove cooked fish out of the soup then strain the soup. Clean the fish of bones and place pieces of fish back into the soup add olive oil and stir before serving.
  • You can add the rice directly to the soup or place the rice in the bowl and add the soup over the top. I suggest the later because the soup alone you can freeze or refrigerate but the rice does not keep consistency and does sour.
  • You can use frozen fish fillets too but fresh fish is best.
