Balik bugulama is a light Turkish main dish made by slowly cooking white fish with carrots, celery, and onion in its own steam. This recipe uses no added oil and is presented as a diabetes-friendly option.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the pot

10 min

Spread the onion rings, carrot, and celery across the bottom of the pot. Arrange the lemon slices on top.

2

Add the fish

5 min

Place the fish fillets over the vegetables and season with salt. Pour the water around the edge of the pot.

3

Steam the fish

35 min

Cover and cook over very low heat for 35 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Reminder

Do not open the pot lid often, or steam will escape and the fish may dry out. Keep the heat very low; high heat can make the fish fall apart. Allergen: contains fish.

Kapağı tarifte önerildiği gibi hiç açmadan 35 dakika pişirdim, balık gerçekten dağılmadan buğulanmış ve sebzeler tatlarını balığa güzelce vermişti, 6 kişilik porsiyon tam kararında çıktı.
