  • Cuisine: Iraqi

This fish is cooked in the wire grills used to secure sausages and meat when cooking over an open flame on camping trips. 

Ingredients

1 Whole fish (Murray Darling Carp or firm flesh fish)
3 Tomatoes
Salt

Preparation

1 Whole fish (Murray Darling Carp or firm flesh fish)
3 Tomatoes
Salt
Cut the fish lengthways along its belly so that it can be spread flat but still in one piece.  Rub with salt and put in fridge until ready to cook.

Before cooking, half the tomatoes and rub the fish all over with the tomato, squeezing the juice onto the flesh.

Place fish in wire rack and cook by standing the rack upright next to an open fire.  It will take about 20 minutes on each side.  Finish by placing over the coals for a few minutes on each side.

Hot Tips

Side dishes

Koreans use a shallow spoon for rice and soup and a set of silver or stainless steel chopsticks for serving from the shared dishes. Side dishes or banchan vary in number depending on the occasion, but at least 3 to 5 would be a minimum at home, with many more for special guests or in restaurants.

Glossary

Roquefort

A French veined cheese made from ewe's milk. It is matured in ancient caves in the Aveyron region and takes three months to ripen. The result is a semi-soft crumbly cheese with blue-green veins.
