They say that every hostess has an exceptional taste of borscht. This is nothing, imagine how many variations of fish soup exist! After all, it is prepared separately and jointly, and each composition of the fishing team is a separate version of the camp brew.
Perhaps the most discussed moment is cereals, their varieties and quantities. There are two main options: pearl-barley or millet, and about one-sided supporters. You can argue endlessly - what products go to the tab, you can definitely say this: if you got the spoons to the bottom of the pot, everything was prepared correctly.
Ear with millet - general principles of preparation
• Millet can be added to any soup, regardless of the variety of fish from which it is cooked: river or sea. The principle of cooking is no different from the classic version, and its taste depends largely on the quality of the fish and the properly cooked broth.
• In the preparation can be used not only whole or sliced pieces of carcass. Boiled from the heads and tails of large fish ear with millet is no less tasty and satisfying. The main taste of the dish depends, in addition to the fish, on the properly cooked broth and the quality of millet groats.
• If you purchase weight millet, pay special attention to its color. In high-quality cereal grains matt, pronounced yellow. Brilliant-looking millet in cooking is not used, they feed the birds. If you add it to your ear, it will taste bitter. In packaged packages of such cereals, as a rule, you will not meet, but you shouldn’t take it “with closed eyes”. Look carefully at the contents of the package so that it does not have a cereal moth.
• Wuhu with millet for a brighter taste of the dish is complemented with vegetables: carrots, potatoes, onions, tomatoes or sweet peppers, although they are often cooked without potatoes. Culinary specialists have a special rule for cutting vegetables for fish soup - the less ingredients are included in its composition, the larger they are cut. • Millet is added during the broth boiling process, when the potato has reached the state of semi-ready. If prepared without it, the cereal is poured over 20 minutes before the dish is ready. The grains must have time to soften and not razvaritsya. Otherwise, the broth will become cloudy.
• Salt and season with fish soup at the end, a couple of minutes until tender. Greens are added together with spices or sprinkle with it the ear already spilled on the plates.
