Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How is fish stew prepared? Gather the necessary ingredients for cooking. You can take any fish. To obtain fillets, I cleaned 3 medium pollock carcasses. It is convenient to use ready-made fish fillets.

Step 2

Step 2
First prepare the mushroom filling. If you use fresh wild mushrooms, they must first be boiled in salted water. You can take champignons as the most versatile option. Place washed and peeled champignons on a kitchen towel to absorb excess liquid. Leave for 15-20 minutes so that all the moisture is absorbed into the fabric. It is important to dry the mushrooms well, otherwise, once saturated with moisture, they will become watery.

Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.

In a frying pan, fry the mushrooms and onions over medium heat until tender, stirring occasionally. Salt the mushrooms during cooking.

Pass the fish fillet through a meat grinder. In this case, it is better not to use a blender, as the minced meat will be more viscous. This will not be very convenient when forming a body.
