(Old-fashioned Polish Christmas Eve Recipe)
Ingredients
1 Zander Fish (2.2 lb)
Mixed Vegetables (no cabbage)
1 Large Onion
A couple Pepper Corns
1 Bay Leaf
1.5 oz Butter
3 Hard-Boiled Eggs
1 tbspn Chopped Parsley
½ Lemon
Bring the vegetables, onion, bay leaf, and pepper corns to a boil in a small amount of water. Let cool. Place the whole fish in a baking dish and pour the vegetable broth over the fish so that it is completely covered. Bring to a boil again, then reduce heat and cook covered for 15-20 minutes over low heat. Remove from heat and leave the fish in the broth. Do not let it go cold. Dice the hard-boiled eggs. In a saucepan, heat the butter and add the eggs and the parsley. Do not let the eggs fry, they are only to be warmed in the butter. Plate the fish on a warmed serving dish, drizzle with lemon juice and cover with the warmed eggs.
