Carp in foil on coals

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake carp in foil on coals? First of all, prepare all the products according to the list. It is better to use fresh fish. If you have frozen carp, then take it out of the freezer in advance and leave it at room temperature until it is completely defrosted. Clean the fish from the scales, remove the insides and gills. Rinse the carcass thoroughly from all sides and inside. Dry the carp with a kitchen towel or paper napkins to remove the remaining water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the filling. You can stuff carp with any vegetables and herbs to taste. It can be onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, all kinds of herbs, as well as lemon and seasonings. The classic filling is a few onion rings and a lemon. The taste and aroma of the finished carp depends on the choice of herbs and vegetables, so choose the filling according to your preferences. I used dill, young onions, tomatoes, a few feathers of green garlic and a little pepper.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rinse and dry the greens. Twigs of young onions and dill can be left as they are or cut not very large.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add the remaining ingredients to the greens and add a little salt. Make incisions on the carp with a sharp knife, as in the photo. Wash and dry the lemon. Cut half a lemon into thin slices. Then cut each circle in half. If your lemon is too large, then the circles should be crushed in quarters. Insert a piece of citrus into each incision on the fish.

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix the filling.

6. Step 6:

   

   Stuff the fish with greens and vegetables.

7. Step 7:

   

   Spread a sheet of foil on a flat surface. Put a few lemon slices in the middle. Put the carp on top of the lemon. Season the fish with salt and pepper (you can sprinkle with ready-made seasoning for fish). Sprinkle the carp with a small amount of lemon juice.

9. Step 8:

   

   Wrap the fish well with foil on all sides. Do not spare the foil, make several layers so that when baking the foil is not damaged and the fragrant juice does not run out.

10. Step 9:

    

    Light the grill. Wait for the embers to remain in it. If the coals are too large, then crush them with improvised means into smaller and approximately the same size corners.

11. Step 10:

    

    Level the coals with a thin layer and put carp on them. Sprinkle a small layer of remaining embers on top. Leave to bake in this way for 40-50 minutes. I had a carp weighing about 1 kg and I baked it for 40 minutes.

12. Step 11:

    

    Carefully remove the fish from the grill. Wait until the foil has cooled slightly.

13. Step 12:

    

    Unwrap the foil and serve the carp!

14. Step 13:

    

    Offer fresh or baked vegetables to the fish. Very tasty both hot and cold!
