Polish fish sauce

Polish fish sauce

Many consider the Polish sauce made on the basis of butter, cream or other dairy products and hard-boiled eggs to be one of the most tender and pleasant additions to fish. Despite the name, the Polish fish sauce was invented in Holland, where it is very popular. In Polish cuisine, this dish can be found infrequently. However, the origin of the sauce is not significant - for the gourmet it is important that he successfully set off the taste of the fish, and he copes with this task as “excellent.”

Cooking Features

Preparing Polish fish sauce is easy, but there are several important points to consider when cooking.

  • One of the most important ingredients of the Polish sauce is boiled eggs, they give it a unique taste. It is obvious that the quality of the sauce directly depends on the quality of this product. It is better to choose eggs of domestic chickens or farmed in farms: they are healthier and have brighter yolks.
  • The degree of grinding eggs depends on the specific recipe: sometimes they are finely chopped enough - sometimes you need to grate or chop with a blender.
  • In order for the boiled eggs to be better cleaned, they should be immersed in cold water immediately after the end of cooking for 5-10 minutes. It will also cool them down.
  • Polish sauce is usually prepared in a bowl with a thick bottom and the same thick walls. Due to this, it warms up well and does not burn. If you do not have such dishes, then part of the cooking process can be performed in a water bath (for example, melt butter) or cook on very low heat, constantly mixing the ingredients.
  • Often, to add a piquant taste to the Polish sauce, lemon juice is added to it, which is a good shade of fish and neutralizes smells that are not for everyone’s taste. However, when cooking on the basis of sour cream from the lemon juice is better to refuse, to avoid stratification of the sauce.

Polish sauce is used in cooking fish dishes or served separately. In any case, it should be warm. If you put the sauce in a refrigerator for safety, heat it in a saucepan or in a water bath before serving. It is better not to use a microwave for this purpose, since in some cases the sauce may exfoliate.
