INSTRUCTIONS

STOCK FOR GEFILTE FISH
GEFILTE FISH MIXTURE
1) Combine all ingredients, except the fish skin in a large (8 to 10 quart)
braising pot.
The skin will be added after the Gefilte fish is cooking.
2) Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Mix the Gefilte fish while
the stock is simmering. The dumplings will be cooked in the stock after it
has simmered 20 to 30 minutes and the stock will not be strained until
after the Gefilte fish is removed.
  GEFILTE FISH MIXTURE:
Grind the fish fillets (which will have the fine pin bones in the meat)
through the small plate of a meat grinder. Mix well and grind again.
Place the fish in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, onions, carrots, matzo meal,
salt, pepper and sugar. Mix very well.
Add the oil and cold water and blend into a smooth paste. Make a small ball
and cook in the stock for a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust the
seasonings if needed.
Have a bowl of water handy. Keeping both hands wet, shape 3-ounces of the
mixture into oval balls and drop into the stock. Continue until all are
made and added to the stock. After they have cooked 10 minutes, add the
skin (it was reserved) to the stock. Cover the pot and simmer slowly for 2
hours, turning and basting the dumplings every 15 or 20 minutes.
Remove the Gefilte fish with a slotted spoon and place in a large
container. Strain the remaining stock over the Gefilte fish. Pick the
carrots slices out of the remains and add to the strained stock as well.
Allow the Gefilte fish and carrots to cool in the stock, which should gel
when completely chilled. Serve with the jellied stock, carrots and
beet-horseradish. Slice the Gefilte fish for a nice presentation.
