Mackerel in a slow cooker - preparing food and utensils

The most difficult part in the process of preparing mackerel in a slow cooker is cutting fish. It is necessary to remove all the insides, cut off the head, tail and properly wash the carcass. Some housewives prefer to cook the whole fish, others cut it into portions. If time permits, it is better to leave the fish marinated. To do this, you can take ordinary salt with pepper or a special set of seasonings for fish. Sprinkle the pieces with lemon juice.

While the fish is pickling, you can do the rest of the ingredients: peel, wash and chop the vegetables. Onions are best cut into half rings, carrots - in circles or grate coarsely.

From the dishes you only need a cutting board, a knife and a bowl for pickling. In a slow cooker, as well as in an oven, you can cook in a baking bag or foil. In general, experiment and do not stop surprising family and friends with new delicious dishes!

The fish is gutted, washed, portioned, salted and peppered. A large onion is cut into thin half rings, poured into a mackerel. All components are sprayed with lemon juice and sprinkled with mayonnaise. In this state, the carcass is laid aside for half an hour - marinate. Then the pieces are folded into a bowl, covered with onions, and the device turns on in the "double boiler" mode for a third of an hour. After the signal, the mackerel in the multicooker is completely ready. It remains to decorate it with several slices of lemon and sprinkle with chopped herbs.

The foil, so popular for baking products in the oven, is relevant in relation to the multicooker. Fish in foil is traditionally juicy and tender. The same mackerel is gutted, its head and tail are separated. Incisions are made in the carcass where lemon slices are inserted. Fish is salted, peppered and put on a sheet of foil. Thick onion rings crumble from above, and the "paper" is wrapped. Water is poured into the bowl to the bottom line, fish is placed in the container.

The steaming container is lined with foil, onto which the sliced \u200b\u200bvegetables are laid out in the first layer: onion rings, carrot slices, bell pepper strips, cauliflower inflorescences or broccoli. Flavored fish slices go on top, and another vegetable layer is laid on them. The foil is wrapped. The device is filled with water to the lower mark, the container is put in place, and the "steaming" mode is activated. In the "vegetable" accompaniment, mackerel in a slow cooker will cook for as long as forty minutes. But a side dish is not required - vegetables are rightly considered the best side dish for fish.

Braised Mackerel

If steam processing is boring for you, and the result of its application seems fresh to you, refer to more traditional methods of preparation. Stewing in a slow cooker will delight you with juicy fish with minimal time costs. Mackerel is cut into small slices, a large onion - quarters of rings. In half a glass of water, half a teaspoon of citric acid dissolves - thanks to this trick, the fish will not creep away and will retain a beautiful appearance. Pieces of fish are placed in the bowl, sprinkled with onions, bay leaves and pepper (peas). Prepared water is poured, and then half a glass of vegetable oil.

A piece of cheese rubs coarsely. The recipe advises taking cheddar, but this is a matter of taste - you can take any hard one. A couple of parsley branches are chopped, the zest is removed, the juice is squeezed from half a lemon. In a bowl all these components are combined, plus half a spoonful of dry mustard and two large ones - sunflower oil. The filling is placed in a carcass, which is laid in a bowl. The device turns on for half an hour in the "baking" (or "multi-cook" mode - depending on which model is in your kitchen).
