Cooking a healthy dinner for the whole family

Simple, tasty, healthy and fast - this is how you can describe the dish that we will now prepare. Mackerel stewed with vegetables in a frying pan will definitely win the hearts of your household.

Compound:

2 mackerel carcasses;
2 carrots;
green onion feathers;
2-3 tbsp. l. tomato sauce;
2 tbsp. l. soy sauce;
vegetable oil;
ground black pepper.

Preparation:

First, let's prepare the fish: wash it and remove the backbone. Cut the fillet into small pieces, separating it from the bones.

If you don't have green onions on hand, you can replace them with regular onions. Use both varieties if desired.
We wash and chop the green onion feathers.
We clean and chop the carrots using a special knife (you can simply cut them into strips).

Lightly fry the onion in vegetable oil, and then add the carrots to it. Sauté everything together for a few minutes and add soy sauce. Simmer on medium burner level for 5-7 minutes.

In the meantime, let’s fry our fish separately in vegetable oil. The burner level must be strong. The golden hue of the crust will tell us about its readiness.

Season the vegetables with tomato sauce. And if you like spicy spicy dishes, replace it with Chili sauce.

All we have to do is combine the vegetables with the fish, season with pepper, stir and simmer over medium heat until cooked. Salt the dish if necessary, although soy sauce often provides enough salt.

Stewed fish and potatoes

Potatoes and fish are a classic combination.

2 mackerel;
3 potatoes;
0.5 red onion;
2 bay leaves;
150 ml prepared tomato sauce;
1 clove of garlic;
salt, black pepper, thyme - to taste;
vegetable oil;
greens for serving.

Cut the red onion into thin half rings. Chop the garlic into small cubes. Peel the potatoes and cut into slices. Thaw the fish, clean it and cut it into pieces about 1.5 cm thick.

Pour oil into a high-sided frying pan and fry the onion and garlic. As soon as the onion begins to become translucent, add potato wedges and fry until golden brown. When the potatoes become soft, salt them and sprinkle with spices.

Pour the tomato sauce into the pan; if it is too thick, add a little water. Place the fish pieces and simmer covered over low heat for 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with fresh herbs.

Combine carrots and onions and place half of the vegetables in a thick-walled pan.
We distribute pieces of mackerel on top. Add peppercorns, bay leaves and salt.
Cover the fish with the remaining vegetables and pour in filtered water. The liquid should not reach the top of the vegetables a little.

Simmer the dish on a low burner for half an hour, covering the pan with a lid.

You can experiment and add new flavor notes to the dish, for example, adding bell peppers or eggplants. Cook with pleasure and bon appetit!

Useful tips

When choosing fish, we recommend choosing a carcass that has a head. You can always tell the real expiration date of a product by looking at it. The eyes should be bulging, clear, bright and moist. If they are dry, sunken, or at least cloudy, then, alas, the mackerel has been around for more than one day.

In any of the recipes, instead of tomato paste, you can use fresh tomatoes, because it will turn out even tastier. Simply blanch the fruits, peel and grind the pulp in a blender.

Be sure to prepare the dishes that we have offered you. Bon appetit!
