Diets The best balabustas present two options during a fish course. This simple recipe shows you how to cook them both at the same time – perfect for all those early Shabboses coming our way.
6 cups water
2 onions, sliced
1 carrot
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 teaspoon pepper
4–5 pike skins (optional)
1 roll Ungar’s Gefilte Fish, frozen, uncooked
4 slices fish (white or salmon)
Place skins, if using, into a net boiling bag. Place all ingredients except white fish or salmon into a six-quart pot. Cook for one and a half hours.
Add the fish slices (add white fish slices 40 minutes before done and salmon 25 minutes before done).
