Johannes Pruscha

Cooking time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Ingredients (4 servings)
700 g carp fillet, deboned (ideally organic)
Juice of 3 lemons
100 g course flour
4 piece(s) organic eggs
200 g breadcrumbs (preferably sieved)
Fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cooking oil (sunflower or canola)

Preparation

  • Marinate the carp fillet in the lemon juice, season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Roll in the coarse flour, then dip in the beaten eggs and roll in the sieved breadcrumbs.
  • Heat enough oil in a large pan to 340–350 °F (170–180 °C) and fry the carp fillets for approx. 5 minutes until golden brown, swirling the oil carefully.

Ingredients for the potato salad

Ingredients (4 servings)
600 g small, waxy potatos
2 organic egg yolk
250 ml table oil
1 tablespoon(s) mustard
Zest of ½ lemon
3 tablespoon(s) apple cider vinegar
100 g carrots, diced and blanched
100 g blanched peas
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation of the potato salad

  • Slowly cook the potatoes in generously salted, gently boiling water for about 35 mins.
  • Then rinse in ice-cold water to make the ­potatoes easier to peel.
  • In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and lemon zest using an immersion blender. Then very slowly add the oil until a fairly firm mayonnaise is formed.
  • Now mix in the blanched carrots and peas and carefully add the cooked potatoes,cut into slices approx. ¼ inch (5 mm) thick.
  • Leave the mayonnaise salad to stand for approx. 10 minutes and season if necessary.
