home Recently I was lucky enough to take a good silver carp while spearfishing, weighing about 7 kg, while driving home I was mentally imagining how tasty it would turn out to be balyk . Then, about a week later, I caught my first, although not a trophy, cupid. I decided to do the same with him as with the silver carp - screw up. Do fish balyk Recently I was lucky enough to take a good silver carp while spearfishing, weighing about 7 kg, while driving home I was mentally imagining how tasty it would turn out to be I will use a new recipe that I spied on from my mother last year. First, let's clarify what it is
- This is the back or fillet of large fish that is salted and then air-dried. This recipe breaks the stereotypes about balyk a little, since not only salt is used for its preparation, but also various spices, and also the type of balyk itself will be slightly different from the usual halves of fish, since we will be making portioned pieces at once. This is done primarily for aesthetics; you must admit, not everyone likes to clean fish, getting elbow-deep in fat. Fish balyk - recipe
: The first thing we need to prepare balyk is, of course, fish, grass carp or black carp will do. I’ve never made balyk from or, if you want to take a risk, go for it. In a word, you need large fatty fish, and the larger the fish, the tastier the balyk will be, don’t believe anyone who says that large catfish, carp or silver carp stink of mud, have loose meat and are not tasty, everything is not like that . How to make a balyk:
fish for balyk must be scaled and gutted, as well as excess films and blood clots removed. Next, using a sharp knife, you need to make an incision on the back along the line of the spine, then carefully continue to cut the fish meat along the spine until the fillet is completely separated. The meat should be cut to the ribs, and they, in turn, should be separated from the spine with a more powerful knife or nippers.
Now we start cutting the balyk into portioned pieces; to do this, take the back and use a sharp knife to cut off pieces of meat 1 - 2 cm thick from the skin. If the fish is very large, then the strip of the back can be cut lengthwise. Be careful not to cut the skin, and do not leave any remaining skin on the pieces of balyk. Cut only with a sharp knife to avoid cutting shapeless and ugly pieces.
We continue to prepare our homemade fish balyk: let's move on to the most basic process, which will affect the final taste of the finished product - salting. Pour the chopped pieces of balyk into a saucepan, add salt to taste, the most important thing here is not to overdo it, otherwise you will not enjoy the taste of juicy tender fresh balyk, but the taste of salt. Don’t worry about diseases that you can catch from fish, our balyk will still undergo heat treatment. Let's return to the salt, estimate the amount of balyk, add a little salt and mix, a handful of salt will be more than enough (everyone's handfuls are different, and so is the amount of fish). Next, we take spices, preferably fish ones, in the absence of which (everyone went to prepare balyk from silver carp), I took meat ones, pour them into the pan and mix thoroughly again. I really like adding khmeli-suneli seasoning to balyk, it gives a very pleasant aroma and taste. Rub the ribs with salt and spices, make rolls and put everything in the same pan. Having mixed everything thoroughly, and once again adding some salt, put the pan in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 days, during which time the fish will be salted and absorb the aroma of the spices. It is advisable to stir the pieces a couple of times while the balyk is in the refrigerator.
After salting, put the pan in the freezer in order to minimize the possibility of contracting some disease. Freezing kills almost 100% of bacteria and should be continued for 2 days. You can do it differently before cooking balyk - freeze the whole fish, or remove the fillet and freeze it, and only then start salting. But it’s more convenient for me.
The last step in preparing balyk is hanging it out to wilt (dry). Defrost the pan and its contents, string the pieces onto a nylon thread so that they do not touch each other. We also hang the ribs to dry. I’ll be honest, I just adore raw balyk – not dried, and I always leave half for myself and hang it out to dry for friends. Drying does not last long, 1 - 2 days. As soon as the balyk is ripe (the consistency suits you), it must be removed, otherwise it will dry out.
Store balykfrom fish It is best to wrap it in polyethylene in the refrigerator so that it does not absorb foreign odors, and for long-term storage it can be frozen.
My balyk is now at the freezing stage, as soon as I hang it up I’ll attach a photo.
Bon Appetit everyone!
Translated from Turkic, balyk means fish. That is why all products that are called balyk mean a fish dish. This dish can be prepared from various commercial fish. These breeds have differences in fat content, which gives the balyk a delicate taste. Previously, when someone said the word balyk, they meant a delicacy, and in our time this word has not lost this meaning. True, now such a delicacy is available to many, and not just to high society who use special stores.
Today, when markets offer a variety of fish breeds, you can make balyk yourself at home. Because this is not a very difficult technology. You can make balyk from asp, silver carp, carp, and pike. The fatter and thicker the balyk, the better it is valued. What would be healthier and tastier for breakfast than a made sandwich with balyk. It's very easy to make. Let's look at preparing balyk from different types of fish.
We take fresh carp weighing more than 7 kg. Clean the fish from scales, open its abdomen, remove the entrails, thoroughly wipe the abdominal cavity, cut off the tail and head. Cut the carp carcass prepared in this way, separating the large bones and spine. Cut the resulting carcass into pieces 6-7 cm thick, wash with water, wipe with salt, place the pieces in a bowl with the skin side down. After this, dry salt it. Place a weight on top of the carp, cover with a lid and place in a cool place. Keep the salted fish for 5 to 7 days.
Soak the carp in water after salting to reduce the amount of salt. After the fish is wet, you need to let the water drain, tie the slices with twine and hang in a cool, well-ventilated place. To make the pieces shiny and smooth, they must be pressed. Three to four days after the start of wilting, put them under pressure, and then hang them up again. After about 10 - 15 days, the carp balyk is ready. Also, to improve the taste of balyk, before rubbing the pieces with salt, sprinkle them with sugar. Sprinkle layers of fish placed in enamel dishes with salt without sugar.
Asp is the fish most suitable for balyk and salting. The best balyk comes from asp weighing 1–3 kg, caught in the autumn. Small specimens are not suitable for balyk.
The asp must be cut (plated). Using a strong and sharp knife, carefully cut the back of the fish along the ridge from head to tail, while working, we try not to damage the belly, otherwise all the fat will drain off.
We cut off one side of the ribs from the spine and unfold them into two halves. Carefully remove the insides so as not to damage the bile. The ridge can be cut out if desired, or left. Then remove the gills, wash the fish to remove blood and sprinkle with salt. We use coarse salt, but not iodized salt. Leave the salted fish in a cool place for 8-12 hours (depending on the weight of the fish).
When salting asp in brine, add spices to it (for example, seasoning for fish), it contains all the necessary components. To determine the concentration of salt in a solution (brine), you need to put raw potatoes in it - it should not sink.
Then we wash the asp to remove excess salt and soak it. Soak fish weighing 3 kg for approximately 60 minutes; 1 kg. -120 minutes. In late autumn, asp can be made more lightly salted; in hot periods, we reduce the soaking time. Next, we hang the fish so that the water drains from it and it should dry out a little. Be sure to tie gauze soaked in vinegar (for flies and wasps). Could be the air flow from the fan.
Place a sprig of dill inside the slightly dried asp; you can also put a cut clove of garlic, it is a good preservative. Then for a day we put the asp in the refrigerator or a cool place, wrapped in parchment or cotton cloth. At night, we put up the spacers and hang them out into the wind. For the day we put it back in the refrigerator. We place dry salted fish in the sun for an hour during the day so that the asp becomes covered in fat. Now balyk can be used as food.
We carefully remove the caught fish without damaging the inside of the gallbladder. We do not remove scales and thorns. Separate the heads and wash. Then cut off the tail and belly. The abdomen must be cut along an arc so that the thickness of the cut along the entire length is approximately the same. Then we cut the fish into fairly thick pieces, approximately the same thickness, at least two centimeters. If the pieces are thin, then they will dry out, and very thick ones will begin to sour in the middle.
Take a container large enough for the fish to fit in 2-3 layers, but not aluminum!!! Stainless steel, ceramic or enamel pan. Mix salt and sugar, observing the indicated proportions (10 tablespoons of salt, 3 tablespoons of sugar per 1 kg of fish, add spices to taste), pour this mixture into an even layer on the bottom. Place pieces of fish tightly next to each other on top, immediately sprinkling them with salt. Place the tail fins and bellies skin side down. Now we tightly cover the top with a wooden circle and put pressure on it. Leave for six days in the refrigerator.
The fish releases juice and brine is formed - this is a strong solution of salt and juice. Taking it out of the refrigerator, rinse the fish under running water and wash off excess salt. Then hang it on a strong cord, in a draft, wrap the fish in gauze, after soaking the gauze in vinegar. After 2-3 days, balyk can be consumed.
The readiness of the balyk can be checked if it is elastic, and when pressing on it, no moisture is released, but only fat remains on the fingers.
So, let's begin. The pike must be fresh, otherwise it will not be salted. We cut off the head of the pike and gut it. There is no need to remove the scales. We do not wash the fish. Next, we cut it along the spine to the tail, making cuts throughout the body without damaging the skin. The cuts are necessary for the best penetration of salt into the fish. Next, take coarse salt and lightly, evenly sprinkle the fish with salt. If your pike is quite large, then place a small amount of salt in the cuts. Here it is necessary not to overdo it. If there is not enough salt in the pike, the balyk will disappear. If, on the contrary, there is too much salt, it will be extremely salty. Over-salted balyk must be soaked in water. Then we place the fish meat-to-meat and place them with their backs down, in a plastic or enamel bowl. That's all for now. It's worth resting for about twenty minutes.
Then, we hang the cut carcasses with hooks by the tail outside, in a well-ventilated place that is also protected from flies. The fish carcasses should already be a little dry and weathered, remove the dry ones and go to the kitchen. Let others wait their turn. Open the oven and place the fish carcasses unfolded on the wire rack, with the scales facing down. Turn on the gas and close the door. Although we don't close it tightly.
We maintain a centimeter gap by placing something fireproof between the oven and the door. Turn on the hood above the stove. The hood is needed for two reasons. The first reason is that without it, your kitchen will quickly turn into a sauna (it will be hot). The second reason is that there is a possibility that you will choke on saliva from the smell of the balyk that is being cooked. All! All that's left to do is wait. This is about five to nine hours, depending on the size of the carcasses and the heat in the oven. When the meat on the fish carcasses turns yellowish, your balyk is ready!
In fact, balyk is a fish, or rather its carcasses, peeled, salted and dried in the fresh air. But now this traditional name has begun to be used for some types of meat prepared in a similar way.
Dried balyk can be prepared from almost any type of meat (chicken, veal), fish, but most often it is made from tender young pork. And experts say that this product does not necessarily have to be purchased in a store for a tidy sum; it is quite possible to make it at home yourself.
Having chosen the right cut, you can consider that half the job is already done. The final result will depend on its quality. A good pork balyk is, as a rule, a neck, tenderloin, loin, that is, those parts of the pork carcass on which the animal had less load during its life. It is here that the meat is especially tender and has fewer veins. For good salting and ease of preparation, it is better to select a piece of no more than one or two kilograms.
Before starting the process, the meat should not be washed or stored in the refrigerator; it would be ideal if you purchase it on the same day and immediately begin salting.
Balyk is prepared at home in different ways, each recipe is good in its own way, but there are a number of rules that need to be taken into account.
For this recipe, it’s easier to decide on the choice of meat; a chicken breast cut up and removed from the bone is ideal here. Choose large whole pieces to get a beautiful chicken balyk. Be sure to remove films, veins and layers of fat from them. Dry the cleaned meat thoroughly with a paper napkin, and you can begin the salting process.
Properly cooked meat in this form can be stored for up to two weeks, but more often it is eaten much earlier. Balyk, prepared at home, always turns out tasty, and due to the absence of all types of heat treatment, healthy. It retains a lot of biologically active substances needed by the body. But balyk is beneficial only when consumed in small quantities.
This is an energetically powerful product that allows you to quickly restore strength after serious physical exertion.
It helps speed up metabolism, lowers cholesterol and cleanses the blood.
Participates in the formation of muscle tissue and even improves immunity.
Consuming it in large quantities, due to its high salt content, can lead to edema and weight gain.
Now such a dish is considered a real delicacy and is served at the festive table.
If you have your own mini-smoker, you can cook delicious meat in it. The sequence of actions here remains the same, obligatory salting and keeping under pressure, after which the meat is dried for at least two days and then smoked. It turns out incredibly aromatic and juicy, and if you want more density, the meat can be kept in the air for a few more days, periodically checking its condition. This excellent appetizer is served with different types of sauces and looks impressive, so both adults and children really like it.
