How to make fish in Greek? Proven step-by-step recipe

Fish in Greek, that is fried white fish fillet covered with stewed vegetablesis a classic of… Polish cuisine. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with Greek cuisine. This dish has been on our tables at Christmas for years, although some people love it so much that they also prepare it on other occasions. Fish in Greek you can serve it both cold and warm.

Ingredients:

• 600 g cod fillet (fresh),
• 450 ml of vegetable broth or water,
• 3 carrots (about 400 g),
• 2 small parsley (root, about 120 g),
• a piece of celery root (about 100 g),
• 2 small onions,
• white part of leek,
• 150 ml of tomato paste,
• 2 bay leaves,
• 3 grains of allspice,
• rapeseed oil (for frying),
• wheat flour (for coating the fish),
• salt, pepper, marjoram (to taste).

How to do it:

Peel root vegetables – carrots, parsley and celery. Grate on a coarse grater.

Peel the onions and cut into slices. Rinse the leek and cut it in half lengthwise, then cut into half slices.

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan. Put the onion into the pan and after a while add the leek. When the vegetables are translucent, add the carrot, parsley and celery. Fry for a few minutes.

Add bay leaves and allspice to the pan. Pour the broth over the vegetables. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

Pour some of the broth from the pan and combine it with the tomato paste. Add to vegetables again. Simmer them for a few more minutes – until the liquid reduces. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

While the vegetables are stewing, fry the fish in a separate pan. Dry it with a paper towel, lightly salt it, sprinkle it with marjoram and divide it into small pieces. Roll in flour and fry in hot oil until golden brown – for about a minute on each side (depending on the size of the pieces).

Transfer the fish to a platter. Cover with hot vegetables. When they cool down, cover the Greek fish with foil and put it in the fridge. Leave it there for at least a few hours (preferably overnight).
