- 250 g Tomato sauce (homemade preferred)
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped

👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a rectangular baking mold with butter.
💡 专业技巧: Using a rectangular mold helps create even slices for serving. - 2
In a saucepan, combine the chopped onion, garlic, leek, carrot, and bay leaf. Add just enough water to cover the vegetables and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
💡 专业技巧: Sweating the vegetables first builds a flavor base. - 3
Add the deboned scorpionfish to the saucepan with the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through. Remove the fish from the liquid and set aside. Discard the bay leaf and drain the vegetables, reserving the cooking liquid.
💡 专业技巧: Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it will be blended. - 4
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked fish, eggs, heavy cream, tomato sauce, and the cooked vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and creamy.
💡 专业技巧: For a smoother texture, you can pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. - 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking mold. Place the mold in a larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with hot water to create a water bath (bain-marie).
💡 专业技巧: The water bath ensures gentle, even cooking and prevents the pastel from drying out. - 6
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pastel is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from the water bath and let cool completely.
💡 专业技巧: Cooling is crucial for the texture and for easy slicing. - 7
Chill the pastel de cabracho in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Serve cold, sliced, with mayonnaise or salsa rosa.
💡 专业技巧: This dish can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
