This dish is usually made with sole but my mother-in-law made it many times with orange roughy, which is cheaper and just as tasty. It is wonderful as part of a buffet menu or for lunch with rye bread.
Ingredients:
2 lbs sole or 2 lbs orange roughy fillets
2 onions, sliced
1 1/4 cups tomato juice
2 bay leaves
4 cloves
6 peppercorns
1 cup tomato ketchup
1 egg
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Prepare the fish by cutting the fillets into 3-inch pieces.
2. Mix together the flour and bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
3. In another shallow dish, beat the egg with the salt.
4. Dip the fish pieces first into the egg, then into the flour/bread crumb mixture.
5. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the fish until golden brown.
6. Cool.
7. Pour the tomato juice and ketchup into a saucepan.
8. Add the bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns and onions and simmer for 10 minutes.
9. Remove from the heat and cool.
10. Arrange the fish in a bowl or serving dish; pour the sauce over the fish and refrigerate overnight.
