This Ukrainian fish loaf is lightened with egg whites, giving it a souffle like texture. It is much more stable, however, and can be turned out to serve. Good served with sauteed thin strips of zucchini and carrots. Ingredients:
12 ounces white fish fillets, skinned and cut into 1 inch cubes |
2 ounces white bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes |
1 cup milk |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
3 eggs, separated |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, grated |
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Line bottom of a 6-cup loaf pan with parchment paper. 3. Place the fish cubes in a bowl. 4. Add the bread; sprinkle with the milk; leave to soak while you cook the chopped onion. 5. Melt the butter in a small pan and fry onions for 10 minutes; add to the fish and bread with the egg yolks, nutmeg, dill, salt and pepper; mix well. 6. Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff; gently fold into the fish mixture. 7. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish. 8. Cover with a butter foil and bake for 45 minutes or until set. 9. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then spoon out. 10. Alternatively, loosen with a knife; turn out, remove the paper and cut into wedges. 11. Garnish with dill and serve. |
