600 grams of white fish (I used tilapia fillets)\
3-4 large carrots
1 small celery root
1 large parsley root
1 large onion
A can of tomato paste (6 oz)
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper
1 tb of sweet paprika spice
2 tb of Heinz tomato original ketchup
1/2 of lemon
1-2 tb of olive oil for frying
(Optional: a slice of lemon for decoration and fresh parsley leaves - finely chopped)
Cut fish fillets into smaller pieces, sprinkle them with onion juice, and leave for half an hour. Peel off all your vegetables. Grate them and set aside. Chop onion into bigger chunks, and fry it until golden brown.(Do not burn it as it will be bitter in taste). Transfer the onion and veggies to a bigger pot, add the bay leaves, pepper, salt and paprika spice. Pour 1 cup of hot water,cover the pot with a lid. Then add tomato paste, bring to boil, and give the mixture a stir. Simmer for about 40 minutes until the veggies are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
In the meantime, put fish pieces on a baking tray (I've used a ceramic one, smeared it with a few drops of olive oil). Cover the tray with aluminum foil and put into the oven preheated to 180 C degrees and bake for about 20 minutes, (remember to get rid of the aluminum foil that you put on top of the tray after 10 minutes, leave the tray uncovered, and continue baking).
TIP: Put a piece of parchment paper on your baking tray to prevent the fish pieces from sticking to the tray.
In a glass bowl or a casserole pot place a layer of hot veggies, then put pieces of baked fish on top of it and cover with the remaining vegetable mixture. Decorate with lemon slices and chopped parsley leaves.
Serve with rice and your favorite salad
