BAKED GEFILTE FISH

Gefilte Fish is generally made with a "white" fish, and you can use different ones in this recipe. It's totally up to you which ones you use here. I really like this recipe, but not the kind you get in a jar, it's much better to make your own.

3 large organic eggs

  • 5. Pour into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes then move to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes.
  • 6. Place a knife between the fish and the loaf pan and slide it around to loosen the fish, then invert onto a dish and continue to cool.
  • 7. Cover and refrigerate or wrap well in tin foil and then in plastic wrap and freeze.
  • 8. This makes, 10 servings, or 20 hors d'oevres. This is good served with beet horse radish for luncheon. It is best when you make it 2 or 3 days ahead. That gives the flavours a chance to marry better.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Carp and whitefish are the most traditional choices for gefilte fish, but you can also use pike, salmon, or trout. Just make sure the fish is fresh and boneless.
  • Soak the matzo meal in water before using it. This will help it to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and make the gefilte fish more tender.
  • Don't overmix the gefilte fish mixture. Overmixing can make the fish tough.
  • Poach the gefilte fish gently. Bring the water to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the gefilte fish for 30-45 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the gefilte fish hot or cold. Gefilte fish is traditionally served cold, but it can also be served hot. If you are serving it hot, you can pan-fry it or bake it in the oven.
