BAKED GEFILTE FISH

Steps:

• Prep the fish. Working in batches if necessary, place the rockfish, pike, and flounder fillets in the container of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until pureed. Transfer the fish to a large bowl. Bring the fish stock to simmering in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Mix the fish. Add the matzo meal, eggs, sugar, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the fish. Mix together with a wooden spoon until well combined. Shape the fish mixture into oval patties about 2 by 4 inches. Carefully lower the patties into the simmering fish stock, return to simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined tray. Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer into the dish with the patties. Let the stock cool (it will gel) and then refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours.
• Bake the fish. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish patties from the gelatin and transfer to a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake the patties until lightly caramelized on edges-about 20 minutes. Serve topped with a dollop of the gelatinous stock and some Boiled Carrots with Prepared Horseradish on the side.

GEFILTE FISH

Steps:

• Grind the fish, 2 1/2 onions and 4 carrots together. Place fish mixture in a wooden bowl. Using a hand chopper, add eggs one at a time. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 4 teaspoons salt and white pepper and continue to chop until very well blended. Stir in the ice water a little at a time throughout this process. Add matzo meal and chop again. Check to see if mixture is thick enough to bind together to make an oval gefilte fish ball and if not add in more matzo meal.
• Meanwhile, fill two large heavy stock pots half full of water . Into each pot slice one raw onion and one sliced carrot. Add fish skins, if desired. Sprinkle in paprika, salt, black pepper and two tablespoons of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let boil for 10 minutes.
• With wet hands shape the fish balls and carefully drop into boiling stock. Cover slightly and cook over medium-low heat for 2 hours. When done, let fish sit in the pot for 10 minutes, then remove pieces carefully to containers and strain remaining stock over fish balls, just barely covering them. Chill and serve. They will now keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.

GEFILTE FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Blanch the whole head of cabbage for 5 minutes. Leaving water on the heat, remove whole leaves from cabbage and cut away the tough core from each. If removing leaves becomes difficult, return cabbage to water to soften. Place the leaves on a clean towel and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until wilted but not browned, about 4 minutes. Let cool. Place half a cup of fish broth in a large bowl and stir in the matzoh meal. Add onions, fish, egg yolks, parsley, thyme, 2 teaspoons of the salt, pepper and cayenne and stir until well combined. In a clean, medium-size bowl, beat egg whites until firm but not stiff. Stir 1/3 of the whites into fish mixture. Fold in remaining whites.
• To check seasoning, bring a little of the remaining fish broth to a simmer. Form a little of the fish mixture into a ball and cook it in the broth for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Heat the remaining fish broth and pour a little into an 11-by-17-inch baking pan.
• With moistened hands, divide the fish mixture into 12 portions, about 4 ounces each. Place each portion in the center of a cabbage leaf (place 2 leaves together, if necessary). Fold the sides over the filling and roll up the leaves to form neat packages. Place in the baking pan, seam side down. Pour the remaining broth over the packages. Scatter the carrot and leek over the top. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate.
• To serve, if using beets, stir them together with 1/2 cup horseradish. Place 1 cabbage package on each of 12 plates and garnish with the carrot and leek. Serve with the beet mixture or the 1 cup horseradish.

GEFILTE FISH TERRINE

Steps:

• Place leeks in a saucepan, cover with water and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, place carrots in separate saucepan, cover with water and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain vegetables.
• Puree leeks in a food processor along with 1 tablespoon parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Without washing the machine, puree carrots, season them with lemon juice, salt, pepper and nutmeg and set aside.
• Place matzoh meal in a bowl, add fish stock and set aside.
• Without washing food processor, add onions and process until finely chopped. Add fish and process until smoothly pureed. Add softened matzoh meal, eggs and remaining parsley and process until well blended. Season with salt (about 1 teaspoon) and liberally with pepper. Taste mixture for seasoning by poaching a small amount in water, then allowing to cool briefly.
• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly oil a 6-cup loaf pan or ring mold.
• Spread half the fish mixture in the pan, making a depression in middle that extends to within about 1/2 inch of sides. Spread half the leek mixture in depression; spread carrot puree over leeks and top with rest of leeks. Smooth in remaining fish. Rap pan several times on counter top to eliminate air holes. Place wax paper or parchment paper on top of the terrine.
• Set the pan in a larger pan at least 2 inches deep and place in oven. Add 1 to 1 1/2 inches of boiling water to outside pan.
• Bake 50 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool. Remove fish loaf from pan and place on a serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours to chill completely. Serve in slices with herbed or horseradish sauce on side.
