Good day and delicious weight loss!
One of the healthiest fish is mackerel!
And today I want to share a recipe for boiled mackerel.
I confess that I cooked boiled mackerel for the first time, but for a very long time I have been collecting various recipes for boiled mackerel in my memory.
I listened to who and what added, sometimes there were recipes for boiled mackerel on the Internet.
And so I decided to organize everything that I had accumulated in my memory and cook the fish.
In addition, I read somewhere that when cooking boiled mackerel, there is absolutely no fishy smell, which I really liked. And so I decided to check everything empirically.
I must say right away that I was very pleased with the result. Perhaps I will cook mackerel more often according to this recipe.
✅I needed:
- 1 mackerel (340 g),
- onion husks (about 4-5 onions),
- 150 ml black tea infuser,
- slice of lemon,
- 3 bay leaves, 7-8 allspice peas, 1 tablespoon of salt.
✅Cooking.
Pour boiling water over the onion peel and rinse it.
Then we take it out of the water, put it in a saucepan and fill it with water. For 1 mackerel, I poured about 2 liters of water into a 3.6 liter saucepan.
Add lavrushka, lemon, allspice, tea leaves and salt to the pan to the husk.
We put the pan on the fire and let it boil for 15-20 minutes.
While the water with spices is slowly boiling, we clean the fish.
I decided to cut the mackerel into portions, since it would not fit completely into my pot.
When our spices have boiled in water for 15-20 minutes, we turn down the heat, wait for the water to stop boiling and carefully put the fish in a saucepan.
If you put it in boiling water, it will most likely tear the entire skin of the fish.
Cook the fish for about 10 minutes over low heat.
I read somewhere that mackerel should be cooked in this way for only 3 minutes. I don’t know about the others, but after 3 minutes the fish was still damp and did not come off the bone well. 10 minutes is perfect for me.
We take out the finished fish from the broth and disassemble it into portioned pieces without pits.
That's all!
Enjoy your meal!
