Crucian carp in sour cream sauce in a cauldron

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   At the first stage of preparing a dish on gutted and cleaned crucian carp, it is necessary to make cuts along the location of the ribs. This is done to ensure that the fork pits are broken and dissolved at high temperatures during frying.

2. STEP 2

   

   In order for crucian carp to lose the smell of sludge, if there is any, of course, the fish must be filled with milk for one hour. Then drain the milk. There is no need to rinse crucian carp in water.

3. STEP 3

   

   When preparing the ingredients for the sauce, cut the onion into small cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   We also cut the champignon mushrooms into cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Crush garlic

6. STEP 6

   

   Before frying the crucian carp in a frying pan, rub it with a mixture of salt and black pepper and roll it in semolina.

7. STEP 7

   

   Fry crucian carp in a frying pan on both sides in a mixture of sunflower oil and butter until golden brown. Crucian carp should be fried until the fish is ready

8. STEP 8

   

   To prepare sour cream sauce, first pour sunflower oil into the cauldron. And heat it to high temperatures over high heat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the onion in the heated oil. Fry it until golden brown

10. STEP 10

    

    After this, add the mushrooms and mix with the onions. We also fry them together. At the same time, add salt and pepper to your taste. Fry for about five minutes. After this, close all the valves and let the cauldron reduce its power so that sour cream can be supplied. It cannot be served at high temperatures; the sour cream will “curdle”

11. STEP 11

    

    Add sour cream, mixing with onions and mushrooms. Simmer for about five minutes, stirring constantly

12. STEP 12

    

    After this, add the garlic, also add salt and pepper.

13. STEP 13

    

    Pour in the milk, mix everything and simmer for about ten minutes, then add water. Mix everything and leave to simmer over low heat for about twenty minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    To serve, place the fish on a large flat plate and pour the sauce on top. The final touch is to sprinkle fresh herbs on top. Bon appetit!
