"You Cooked the Fish"
Gefilte Fish recipe
Creating your own gefilte fish does not normally fit into anyone's schedule. But after years of buying fish from local caterers, I quit when they started charging $4.75 per piece of gefilte fish. We all started checking our files of Passover recipes. This one from The Passover Palate from 1998, by Barbara Sosonkin Adler's mother, was the best. The secret really is in the brown onion skins.

brown onion skins - as many as possible
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
2 onions, sliced
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. pepper or to taste

Rinse onion skins (Mrs. Adler collects them for over a month) several times in a colander.

Place all the vegetables and the onion skins with the seasonings in a large pot. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender.

Add pieces of gefilte fish, placing the onion skins between the layers.

You will have enough broth for at least one large jar or can of prepared fish.

Shake the pot to spread the layers, cover and simmer 45 minutes.
