Dalmatian Clear Fish Soup Food

CROATIAN BOILED FISH (AND SOUP)

Steps:

• Use large pot with low rim and add water. Put onion, garlic, bay leaves, pepper (use whole black pepper berries) and cook 20 minutes until onion is soft (you can crush garlic).
• In the meantime clean the fish (do not chop the fish; it must stay in one piece). Add salt, vinegar, olive oil and fish in boiling water and cook for about 5 to 20 minutes (it depends how large fish is).
• To serve, take out the fish and put it on a plate with cooked potato. Cover with additional olive oil and eat it.
• For the soup: cook rice, filter the water, and add parsley and olive oil and you have a soup.

DALMATIAN CLEAR FISH SOUP

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.
