Night before Christmas in Ukraine, it is customary to a meal of 12 meatless dishes. We call it Sweatwater. Mandatory dishes are kutya and uzvar. His version of these dishes I published a year ago (below even give a link to the recipe). Still, as a rule, on the table there are vegetable dumplings, and the "hot" I usually either bake whole fish, or cooked fish cakes (bolovani my home and eat the fish or the one without bones, or in the form of cutlets). This year the dish was baked pelengas. Help yourself!

Pelengasa clean from the scales. The stomach is not cut (!). Make cuts on the back around the spine.

Шаг 2

Take out the backbone, cleaned up the inside.

Шаг 3

Cut the meat around the rib bones in the belly and take out them.

Шаг 4

Around the edge cut the skin a little (about 0.5 cm) separated from the meat. It is easier then to stitch the edges. Fish wash, dry paper towel. Salt, pepper, sprinkle with lemon juice and leave to marinate.

Шаг 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. One of the components of fillings - fried mushrooms. Mushrooms I have a greenhouse, not a forest. They taste quite fresh and bad. I have the secret how to decorate to their taste. This soy sauce (Kikkoman I have) and dry white mushrooms (or mushroom powder). The reception, which I will describe below can be used not only for this recipe, but any roasted oyster mushrooms or any other toppings, a salad or a mushroom, as a separate side dish.

Шаг 6

Mushrooms cut into small cubes.

Шаг 7

Good heat the pan, pour a little vegetable oil. Throw the mushrooms, no salt (!).

Шаг 8

When the mushrooms begin to give off juice, pour approximately 0.5 tbsp soy sauce and crumble 1-2 slices of dry white mushroom or add a pinch of mushroom powder from it. Stir. Fry until complete evaporation of liquid and the appearance of the fried crust.

Tomatoes and onions cut small cubes. Peel the garlic, take out the middle of it, finely chop with a knife. With dill interrupts listecki and also finely chop. Putting it all together. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. All mix well.

Шаг 11

Lay the fish on a baking sheet. Fill with stuffing.

Шаг 12

Sew up with a thread, clinging to the edges of the skins, which we liberated from the meat in advance. If the skins completely agree - not terrible. I have a "hole" on top and sometimes much more work. The fish I posted like a zigzag to fit it on a dish. Poison the fish in the oven at 180-200 degrees for 40 minutes.

Шаг 13

35 minutes after the start baking, prepare the toppings for a beautiful and delicious crust. With a silicone brush to break the emulsion and 1 tbsp. soy sauce and vegetable oil.

With a brush coat of this emulsion the fish and bake it in the oven for another 20 minutes.

Шаг 14

Decorate the fish as You like and serve! Happy New Year, Christmas and Epiphany!
