Since childhood. This dish is still prepared in kindergartens and served with mashed potatoes. Many children are happy to eat such a fish, because it is tasty and bright, and besides, even kids know how useful it is. The dish gained considerable popularity in the half-starved 90s, when one could rarely find something tasty on store shelves at an affordable price. Fish cooked at home is quite a budget dish and at the same time quite tasty. This explains the people's love. Today, such fish is prepared not so much out of economy as because of its wonderful taste. Moreover, thanks to its expressiveness and consistency, the recipe has occupied a worthy niche even in the restaurant menu. So, the benefits, taste, economy, ease of preparation are the main advantages of fish stewed in tomato sauce. Let's try and cook this wonderful dish!
Small sprat, inexpensive blue whiting, noble trout, huge catfish steaks - almost any fish is suitable for this recipe. There are not so many rules: the scales must be cleaned, the large ones must be cut into pieces, and the small ones must be stewed whole. Fish in tomato sauce - the recipe is quite universal, and it is suitable for most types that we use to prepare holiday and everyday dishes. But the best way for this dish is fish, which contains a minimum of bones: hake, pollock, saury, mackerel, salmon.
In addition to fish, you will need vegetables: onions, carrots, garlic. Ideally, fresh tomatoes should be used for the tomato base, but you can also do with pasta or juice. If desired, add bell pepper, herbs, roots, ginger to the sauce.
It is better to cook the sauce separately. To do this, fry finely chopped onions, grated carrots, pieces of other vegetables in oil. Using a blender or meat grinder, make a tomato from tomatoes (it is advisable to remove the skin and large seeds first). When the onions become translucent, and the carrots let out golden juice, you can pour in the tomato. You don't need to stew for too long, just boil it.
The approximate proportions of the products are as follows: per kilogram of fish, you will need a couple of onions, one carrot and one and a half glasses of liquid. If used, then 2-3 tablespoons should be stirred in water. After boiling, add your favorite spices and salt.
Cover the stewed sauce with a lid and set it aside so that it is soaked and infused. We cut the fish into pieces or prepare whole small carcasses. If it is planned that the fish will be used with the head, the gills must be removed. Otherwise, they will saturate the fragrant, delicate dish with the smells of mud.
So that the fish in tomato sauce retains its shape and does not fall apart during the cooking process, we first fry it in oil. Most species need flour breading. Only the amount of flour should be kept to a minimum. Put the fried pieces in a saucepan in layers. When all the fish is ready, we proceed to the next stage - stewing.
To do this, pour the sauce into the saucepan so that it covers the fish. The further process should take place over low heat, under a lid, so that it turns out tender in tomato sauce. In the process of cooking, the dish must be tried to decide whether to add acid, spiciness, sweetness. Much depends on tomatoes, because their taste is very different. If the dish turns out to be too bland, you can add a little lemon juice, soy sauce, adjika to it. At the very end, add finely chopped greens - it will emphasize the taste of the dish.
By the way, about the dishes. It is best to cook such a dish in a cast-iron pot or stewpan, sitall saucepan. It turns out well in an ordinary gosper.
As a rule, fish in tomato sauce is served directly on the plates. So that not a single drop of the fragrant gravy is wasted in vain, the pieces of fish are laid out on top of the garnish. Fresh herbs go well with the elegant color of the sauce. For decoration, you can use multi-colored pieces of fresh vegetables, olives, olives, canned corn.
Fish in tomato preparation, which is discussed above, is combined with most vegetable and cereal side dishes. If pasta is served with fish, it is better to choose those that hold the sauce well: shells, feathers, scallops. Although it goes well with long spaghetti.
For a festive table, you can choose stewed asparagus, young potatoes, mashed green peas, pasta. And for an ordinary family dinner, you can serve boiled porridge with aromatic butter.
In addition, you can serve homemade pickles, pickled mushrooms, salads from seasonal vegetables in tomato sauce. Bread also plays an important role, because many people like to dip it in sweet and sour tomato sauce.

Step 8. Dip the bulls in flour
We warm the pan. Pour oil into it. We are waiting for it to warm up well, and we fry the bulls without removing the fire. I put lemon wedges from which I squeezed juice in the pan.
