18. SALTED FISH.
TCHEREZ BALUCK.
Ingredients:
Fish .................................................. 5 pounds.
Salt .................................................. 5 pounds.
Garlic .................................................. 1 head.
Method:
Cut off the head and tail, clean properly, split in two, lengthwise, take out
the backbone and slice pieces of about one inch in thickness in such a way as to
leave each piece with skin on one side. Salt all the pieces thickly and leave
for twenty-four hours, after which time they should be put in a small wooden keg
and covered with a cloth. After ten to fifteen days, the fish may be considered
ready for serving as a relish.
It is well to rub the juice of one head or more pressed garlic over the slices,
when they are left in the salt at the beginning.
