Ingredients:
For: 4 People
Prep: 20 Min
Cook: 30 Min
| Ingredients for Meal: | |||
| Bonito (Fillet) | 2 Qty | ||
| Salt | 1 Half Tbsp | ||
| Sunflower Oil | 1 Half Cup | ||
| Flour | 1 Half Cup | ||
| Cornflour | 1 Half Cup | ||
| Ingredients for Garniture: | |||
| Red Onion (Crumbly Chopped) | 1 Qty | ||
| Parsley (Finely Chopped) | 1/4 Bunch | ||
| Chili Pepper | 1 Tsp | ||
| Sumac | 1 Tsp (large) | ||
| Olive Oil | 1 Tbsp | ||
Steps:
-
Prepare the bonito as fillets. Rinse it with water and dry it with a paper towel.
-
Place it on a flat plate, salt it both front and back, and leave it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. The salt will absorb the excess moisture of the fish, and will also penetrate into the fish, allowing you to get a more delicious fried fish.
-
For garnish, peel the red onion and cut it into half-moon shapes. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Rub the onions lightly with a pinch of salt, without damaging their shape. 1-2 minutes. After waiting, put it in a strainer and pass it through water.
-
Put the drained onion, parsley, salt, sumac, chili pepper and olive oil in a bowl and mix.
-
Place your pan on medium heat, add oil and heat. (If you wish, you can also oil the fish and cook it in a pan without oil.)
-
Put the cornmeal and flour in a refrigerator bag. Place the fish one by one into this bag and shake them into flour.
-
Fry the fish in the heated oil, turning them front and back (5 minutes + 3 minutes). Take the fried fish on a paper towel and remove excess oil. Serve without cooling, accompanied by the garnish you have prepared, or with arugula and lemon if you wish. Enjoy your meal!
