👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Ensure oven is fully preheated for even cooking. - 2
Make 2-3 diagonal slits on each side of the cleaned carp. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Slits help the fish cook evenly and absorb flavors. - 3
In a baking dish large enough to hold the fish and vegetables, arrange half of the sliced onions, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with half of the minced garlic, dill, and parsley. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Creating a bed of vegetables helps keep the fish moist. - 4
Place the seasoned carp on top of the vegetable bed. Stuff the cavity of each fish with a few slices of onion and tomato.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Stuffing the cavity adds extra flavor and moisture. - 5
Scatter the remaining sliced onions, tomatoes, and bell pepper around the fish. Sprinkle with the remaining minced garlic, dill, and parsley. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and pour the white wine into the bottom of the dish.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: The wine will steam and add flavor to the fish and vegetables. - 6
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
- 7
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Check for doneness by gently pressing the thickest part of the fish. - 8
While the fish is baking, prepare the mămăligă: Bring 800ml of water to a boil in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Constant stirring is key to a smooth mămăligă. - 9
Stir in the butter and grated cheese (if using) into the mămăligă. Season with salt to taste.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Butter and cheese add richness and flavor to the polenta. - 10
Serve the baked carp immediately with a generous portion of hot mămăligă.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: The contrast between the savory fish and creamy polenta is delightful.
