Fish with tomato paste onions and carrots under marinade

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make fish under marinade with tomato paste, onions and carrots? Prepare all the products listed in the recipe. Instead of cod, it is permissible to use hake, pollock and other types of fish. If you have fresh tomatoes available, then include them in the ingredients, then the finished dish will turn out more juicy and fragrant.

2. Step 2:

   

   If you have frozen fish, then take it out of the freezer in advance and defrost it at room temperature. Remove the heads and tails, peel off the scales and cut off the fins. If the fish is not gutted, then remove the insides as well. Rinse the fish under running cold water and dry with paper napkins. Cut the cod into arbitrary medium-sized pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the onion, carrot and garlic. Wash and dry the vegetables.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cut carrots into thin strips or grate on a grater with large teeth. Chop the onion arbitrarily, and pass the garlic through a press or chop finely with a knife.

5. Step 5:

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom. Send the onion, carrot and garlic to fry. Cook, stirring continuously, over high heat until browned.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add tomato paste, favorite dry spices (such as dried basil, thyme, a mixture of Provencal herbs, etc.) and salt to taste to the pan. Pour in a small amount of water (about 60-70 ml.), bring to a boil. Then reduce the flame, cover the pan with a lid and cook the tomato marinade for about 10 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add fish and cherry tomatoes to the pan. If you have a regular tomato, then pre-cut it into small slices. If desired, remove the peel from the tomato in advance.

9. Step 8:

   

   Mix everything carefully. Add a pinch of black or fragrant ground pepper, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the cod until tender (it took me about 20 minutes). After a while, open the lid slightly and check if the dish burns. If necessary, add a small amount of boiling water. Usually the juice from tomatoes is enough for the fish to stew.
