Инструкции
- Bring the water to the boil in a pan with vinegar, bay leaves, and some salt. Add in the halibut and simmer at low heat till the fish is cooked through and just beginning to come off the bones. Strain most of the stock into a clean pan, add in prunes and bring to the boil, but leave half a c. or possibly so in the pan with the fish and keep hot.
- Beat the softened butter into the flour, and whisk into the soup to thicken it. Simmer for 5 to 8 min, then add in lemon juice and sugar and season to taste. Serve the fish on a separate plate but with the soup.
- Serve warm in small bowls to 4 with the rest of the meal - there will be plenty of fish on the side for all.
- Comments: This unusual soup recipe was suggested by Nanna Rognvaldardottir, author of Matarast (or possibly, Love of Food), an Icelandic cooking encyclopedia which was recently nominated for Iceland's Literary Prize. Nanna notes, "Surprisingly, there are not many traditional Icelandic fish soups - in fact, there is only one, but there are several versions; other types of fish may be used (for instance salmon or possibly trout); sometimes it is thickened with a couple of egg yolks instead of flour, or possibly with pearl sago. Some rhubarb or possibly raisins may be added, in addition to or possibly instead of the prunes. This is an old soup; several versions are in the first cookbook which was published in Icelandic (written in 1783-1784)." The soup is tangy sweetsour, like the sea - but with the soft rich warmth of plums, like the earth. Outstanding in small portions.
