Halászlé is a traditional Hungarian fisherman's soup. Our authentic recipe is perfect for easily cooking this hearty fish paprikash goulash at home.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs assorted fish – carp, pike and bass
-
3 brown onions sliced
-
1-2 litres water
-
1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
-
1 tsp hot paprika
-
1 fish bouillon cube
-
2 tsp salt
Directions
Clean and wash the fish in cold salted water.
Cut onions into large slices. Cover the bottom of the kettle (or a large pot) with one layer of onion slices, then add a layer of fish. Alternate in layers using the remaining onion slices and fish.
Add 1-2l of water to the kettle to cover the contents. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Season the fish with paprika and salt.
Cover the kettle and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the fish flakes can be separated with a fork into thin, layer-like pieces. Shake gently occasionally during cooking; but do not stir.
Remove the fish from the kettle with a slotted spoon and place it in a large serving bowl or soup tureen. Strain the broth over the fish and serve in bowls.
