Preparation
- Step 1
Cut fish into 1-inch pieces. Place in food processor and add onion, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, egg, salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Add matzoh meal and process until incorporated.
- Step 2
Shape fish mixture into plump ovals about 3 inches long.
- Step 3
Heat oil for deep frying to 375 degrees in deep fryer, saucepan or wok. Fry until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.
- Step 4
Bring stock or water to boil in 1 or 2 large saucepans, add lemon juice, turmeric and tomato paste. Bring to slow simmer. Drop drained fish rolls into simmering broth and cook slowly, uncovered. Rolls should be single layer. Simmer until broth has reduced and thickened, about 40 minutes.
- Step 5
Serve warm garnished with parsley.
- If fish are purchased whole, have them filleted and make the stock for the recipe by simmering the heads and bones. This recipe can also be made with salt cod or bacalao by soaking it for 24 hours in several changes of cold water, then preceding with the recipe.

Love this dish! Double the spices and make a quick tomato sauce for the fish. Worth the extra 20 min. I used whole peeled tomatoes crushed, chopped onion, garlic, and tomato sauce and paste.
