Everyone knows about the beneficial properties of fish.Unfortunately, this product does not occupy a very significant segment in the diet of the average Russian family. Meanwhile, in addition to the undeniable health benefits, there is another important factor that should motivate every housewife to include fish dishes in her menu, in particular, low-calorie ones, such as fish baked with vegetables, for example, without fail. This refers to the ease of preparation. Fish cooks much faster than meat, which means that preparing dinner on a regular working day will not require an exorbitant amount of time and effort. So, we offer you several fairly simple fish dishes (including stewed fish with vegetables), which may well take a permanent place in your menu.
Fish in sweet and sour refueling
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of fish fillets (hake, cod, pollock, etc.)
- 2 onions
- 3 large carrots
- 300 grams of tomatoes canned in their own juice
- salt, sugar, pepper to taste
- black pepper, fragrant peas
- pepper ground
- chili pepper
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 50-70 milliliters of vegetable oil
Method of preparation:Salt and pepper the prepared fillet, roll it in flour and fry in vegetable oil until lightly browned. Heat the oil and fry all the spices, then add finely chopped onion and grated carrot and fry everything together over low heat. Then add the tomatoes, season to taste with salt, sugar, pepper and bring the vegetable mixture to readiness under the lid. Put a layer of vegetables in the frying pan, then the fish and another layer of vegetables. Simmer everything together over low heat for about 15 minutes. Leave for a few hours so that the fish is soaked in the dressing. Serve cold. Note: You can use fresh tomatoes if they are in season, you can, of course, use tomato paste or ketchup, but, of course, tomatoes are preferable and healthier. In order for the fish to be salted to taste, it is best to salt the oil in which you are going to fry it - the fish will take exactly as much salt as it needs. For ease of preparation, you can skip frying the fillet and add vegetable dressing and simmer until done (about 30 minutes). This is a dietary option, but of course, the dish tastes better with fried fillet.
