Fish Soup (Riblja Čorba) Recipe
This recipe — one handed down
through generations — is a simple but delicious fish soup, perfect on a cold
afternoon.
Serves: 4
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 45 mins
Total time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
-
1 kg of mixed fish
-
1 soup spoon of olive oil
-
Enough water to cover the fish generously in a large pot
-
3 carrots sliced
-
1 onions sliced
-
1 celery stick
-
2 cloves of garlic
-
1 cup of rice (use a risotto-style rice)
-
4-5 peppercorns
-
Finely chopped parsley
-
Salt (to taste)
Instructions:
Scale and gut the fish.
Halve the onion and quickly sear
it; this gives it extra flavour.
Place the fish in a large pot and cover
with water.
Add the vegetables and garlic and
simmer for ½ an hour.
Remove the fish and remove the
bones. It might break apart and be a little messy, but it’s going back into the
pot as small pieces anyway.
Strain the soup.
Add the olive oil and rice to the
soup now and when the rice is ready, put the fish pieces back in.
Serve with some crusty bread.
