Mackerel in tomato sauce
According to the recipe of my grandfather Thomas
Ingredients:
2 medium mackerels
4-5 large onions
1 carrot (grated or sliced)
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of flour
1 can of peeled tomatoes
3 grains of allspice
2 bay leaves
Fresh parsley
Black pepper and salt to taste
Olive oil or cooking oil
Preparation:
Gut and rinse the mackerels. Season with salt and pepper.
Briefly stir fry the onions (cut into half-moons) in a little olive oil, in a lidded saucepan. Then pop in the carrots, flour and paprika. Whisk vigorously. Then, stir in the chopped tomatoes and their juice. If necessary, dilute with a little boiling water. Add the spices (including salt and chopped parsley). Simmer 5 to 10 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the sauce begins to thicken.
Then pour this sauce into a deep baking dish and press the fish in it.
Bake the mackerels at 200°C for about 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with a pinch of chopped parsley.
