Minced Fish Salad Koy Pa Recipes

SUMMER FISH SALAD

Steps:

• Select a pan large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Place the lemon, halved and lightly juiced, in the pan along with the onion, bay leaf and some salt and pepper. Cover with water, bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the fish, bring the cooking liquid back to a simmer then reduce heat and cook the fish very gently, so the water barely shivers, until it is just cooked through, five to eight minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Drain the fish and allow it to cool.
• Combine the tomato, peppers, scallions and coriander in a salad bowl. When the fish has cooled remove any skin or bones and dice it coarsely. Mix gently with the vegetables.
• Beat the vinegar and cumin together, then beat in the olive oil. Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper and fold into the salad ingredients. Re-season if necessary, then serve.

• Cut dough into pieces 2" to 2 1/2" in diameter. Form into balls by tucking the dough underneath the balls to make them round and smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes between blankets. (This is where I spread the olive oil under the dough, and coated the ball with olive oil as well. I also left it uncovered. ).
• This dough is now ready to be used with various fillings. :).
