  • Such a small fish swam into our pond. Well, let her swim, sorry, or what? But no - they arranged a whole hunt for the safari. And the fish was caught. There she is.
  • We didn't think for a long time what to cook from it. The name of the recipe, as well as the recipe itself, was borrowed from Aunt Molokhovets. Elena Ivanovna light. Good memory to her and our eternal gratitude.

  • So. What does this recipe say about pike?
  • At first.
  • "... To clean the pike ..." © (hereinafter, instructions from Elena Ivanovna will be given with this very icon).
  • Since the old regime, Soviet times, we have such a scraper on our farm. Very comfortably. Especially if the fish is not very large or its scales are small. Then she, the scales remain in this tray.

  • Remove the fins and tails. BUT! do not throw away. We will also remove the gill from the head. We'll throw these out, we don't need them. In general, this is not critical for the fish caught from our pond, it is purely here. But still, nevertheless ... following all kinds of newfangled trends and modern trends ... it is better to delete.
  • We cut off the head and all this is the head, the fins are folded into a separate bag. There will be an ear set. For later".

  • That's what surprised me personally !!! I have never been an ichthyologist and a fisherman, however, I am also not. I thought that spawning is spring. And then the end of October pike, and caviar in it ... there was a lot of caviar. And the liver is not weak. Large liver. I would say huge. Maybe that fish? Beer was highly respected. With a vodka? A? Who knows? What are the opinions?
  • The caviar was also sent in an ear bag. They did not salt it.

  • "... cut into pieces ..." ©
  • By the way, the rump and headband also went into the same package. To the ear.

  • "... salt for 1 hour, put in a saucepan ..." ©

  • "... different chiseled and boiled roots ..."
  • Once it is said, then you need to prepare. I won't cook anything, but I'll sharpen it, as it is said:
  • - carrots ...
  • Pike with yellow saffron sauce
  • - greenfinches ...
  • Pike with yellow saffron sauce
  • - onion ...
  • Pike with yellow saffron sauce
  • - small celery - not enough ... parsley there ...
  • Pike with yellow saffron sauce
  • Ginger, it’s not a pity. Wouldn't hurt.
  • And then they put the fish in silver ... that is, a shiny pan. And ...
  • "... pour in 1 glass of table wine, a glass of vinegar, water, so that the fish is covered, various chiseled and boiled roots, ½ glass of raisins, ½ lemon, cut into slices, without grains, cook over high heat ...."
  • Here you will forgive me. Distracted me. So the whole process took place in my absence.
  • BUT!!! I'll tell you in order. The fish was boiled for about fifteen minutes literally.
  • During this time, the sauce was made. How? It's just ...
  • “... As soon as the fish is boiled down, take a spoonful of butter (1/4 cup of fine sugar), 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon of powdered saffron, stir all this in a special saucepan, dilute with fish broth to 3-4 cups and boil, stirring, until it thickens, add a piece of butter, strain ... "©
  • And immediately ...
  • “… Pour over the pike, sprinkle with raisins, lemon and chiseled roots; you can add boiled potatoes. For fasting, instead of butter, take 2 spoons of Provence .... "©
  • And we cooked for another five minutes on very low heat.
  • Pike with yellow saffron sauce
  • And ... A very unusual taste turned out. The trivial pike has become practically a very noble and refined fish.
  • Pike with yellow saffron sauce
  • Angela to you at the meal !!!

Well, is it really possible to spread such beauty and deliciousness at night looking? Now I won't sleep myself, and I will wake up my husband. He was just fishing today, but he never brought a pike or any other fish, and the recipe is definitely in the bookmarks, until the next fishing trip
