Begin to cook
- First we need mackerel. Take a sharp knife and clean the fish, remove the fins, bones, head and tail. You can leave the fish whole or cut it on a fillet. It does not matter; the step-by-step recipe does not change.
- Now it’s the turn of spices, salt and ground pepper. Sprinkle it on mackerel, you can add spices or salt to your taste. If you like spicy tastes, then you need to grind the bay leaf or garlic and add it to the spices.
- Take the carrots and wash. Then you need to weld it with a peel. When the carrots cook and cool, then clean it. Take a large grater and grate the carrots. Put the grated carrots on one part of the mackerel, evenly spreading it on the fish fillets.
- Cook the eggs and peel from the shell. Cut each egg in half and put on top of carrots.
- You need to put the second part of the mackerel on the eggs. Take food film and wrap it in it. Wrap the roulette with threads so that the fish does not fall apart during cooking. Puncture the roulette with a toothpick in several places to lock it.
- Take the pan and fill it with the water. Put the pan on the stove and boil the water. Put the roll in and cook it for 25 minutes.
- When the time runs out and the roulette is ready, then pull it out of the pan. Take a wide flat plate and put roulette on it so it cools down. When the roulette cools down, take a load or press and put it on the fish. Put the dish in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- This recipe can include pickled cucumbers. If you want to add it, then cut the cucumbers into thin rings and put them in the filling. The sour taste of pickled cucumbers will make your dish spicier. You can add melted cheese to make the fish tenderer. There are many options for this recipe, so try the fish and you decide what you need to add there next time.
