Hi and welcome to the Almazan Kitchen Blog!

What shall we do with the drunken sailor early in the morning? Cook him in the wine until he’s sober! Not a sailor of course! We’re talking about fresh organic carp, prepared on coals in balkan traditional “Sač” cookware!

Steps:

Preparing the garnish:

• Wash handful of fresh celery and 2 spring onions.
• Add full hands of young potatoes into the Sač.
• Cut 2 large carrots and add it into the pot.
• Same thing do with parsley root.
• Cut 1 celery root into 4 pieces and add it into the cookware.
• Disconnect parsley stems from the leaves and add it into the pot.
• Handful of fresh dill and parsley leaves into the pot, sliced and diced.
• Cut 2 spring onions into medium pieces and add it into the Sač.
• Add a pinch of salt.
• Some olive oil.

And it’s time to cook our sailo…. sorry… carp.

Fish:

• First of all, behead it… Feel yourself like a King in the medieval age
• Cut off the tail.
• Incise your drunken mate(fish of course! Don’t be silly)
• Slice 2-3 lemons.
• Grate the fish with salt.
• Put lemon slices into the incisions.
• Lemon, salt and dill inside the carp.

Few more steps and we are done!:

• Put the fish into the pot.
• Add few celery sprigs.
• Dip everything in 1L homemade white wine.
• Add 10-12 unpeeled garlic cloves into the cookware.
• Close the pot and put it into the +356°F (+180°C) oven for 45 minutes. While waiting, it would be good to drink some white wine before eating.
• Enjoy! Bon Almazan!
