Croatian Slavonian Fish Stew (�fi��) image

This is typical Slavonian meal. Use only freshwater fish. It is important to mix various fish, and it is important to put a lot of hot paprika in it. These is one of the ways of making Fish paprikash, and believe me there are almost 1 million ways or, better, all adult Slovenians have their own way of making �Fish�, as they call it.

Yield 8 portions, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1500 g carp
1000 g catfish
1000 g pike
50 g lard (or oil but not olive oil)
1000 g onions
500 g tomato puree (passata or Italian-style sieved tomatoes)
50 g red paprika
30 g red paprika (hot or 5 chili peppers)
500 g potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons vinegar
20 g salt

Steps:

  • In Croatia, fish paprikash was historically cooked in large bronze pot over open fire. Nowadays, you need a large stockpot.
  • Slice onion and sauté it in lard until translucent.
  • Add all peppers (hot and sweet), 5 liters of water, fish cut in 250 g pieces, vinegar, sliced potatoes (in cubes) and salt.
  • Cook peppers about 25 minutes; add tomato sauce and continue to cook another 20 minutes (45 minutes total).
  • Taste and add salt if necessary.
  • Do not stir, just shake the pot or the fish will disintegrate.
  • Do not add paprika after boiling.
  • Do not try to cool yourself with water if it is too hot when you eat it, it will be worse. You have to drink wine with it.
