Recipe Introduction
A Medieval recipe from Utilis Coquinario
List of Ingredients
3 fresh fish or 6 fillets (haddock or basa is good but any firm white
fish will do)
olive oil
500ml red wine vinegar (or grape juice)
60g sugar
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 tsp mace
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp ground cubeb pepperRecipe
Poach the fish until just done then remove from the water and allow to drain well.
Combine the red wine vinegar, sugar, onions and spices in
a large pan.
Taste for sweetness and add more sugar if needed (note
that this is a sweet and sour sauce and you need a correct balance).
Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a rapid simmer.
Continue cooking until the onions are thoroughly soft.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the fish on both sides until crisp and lightly browned.
Remove from the oil and drain.
Place the fish on a serving platter and ladle the sauce over it.
Serve with rice.
