Ingredients for Zamosc Gefilte Fish

• 1.4kg carp (meat)

• 675g whitefish, pickerel, or rockfish (meat)

• 675g yellow pike or buffel (meat)

• 6 onions

• 2 tablespoons salt, or to taste

• 6 uova

• 3 cucchiai di zucchero

• 1 /475 to 240ml matzah meal

• 180ml acqua

• 1 teaspoon almond extract or 35g ground almonds (optional)

• 1 1/4 teaspoons pepper

• Horseradish (bottled or fresh)

• 4 stalks celery, cut in 4-inch slices

• 3 onions, sliced

• 6 carrots, sliced on the bias

• 1925ml water, or enough to cover bones with 1 inch to spare (use less rather than more)

• Bones of fish (and heads, if desired)

• 1 cucchiaio di sale

• 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground pepper

• 1 cucchiaio di zucchero

1. Place all the stock ingredients in a large kettle with a cover. Bring to a boil, then partially cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. While waiting for the pot to boil, begin preparing the fish.

2. In a wooden bowl, add to the ground-up fish all the other ingredients listed under Fish, carefully chopping very fine and blending. You can also use the grinder on a mixer. Wet your hands and form the fish into fat, oval-shaped patties, carefully sliding each into the simmering stock.

3. Simmer over a low flame slowly for 20 to 30 minutes or for 2 hours. Allow to cool in the pot and carefully remove all the patties, placing them on a platter.

After the fish has been removed, strain off the cooking liquid. This stock should then jell when chilled; if it does not, simply add a package of unflavored gelatin, following instructions on the package.

1. Serve the chilled gefilte fish with the jellied fish stock, horseradish, and of course the carrots.
