  • 1 bunch celery
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 cups finely minced onion
  • ½ cup vegetable or olive oil
  • 3 to 4 whole porgies (about 1 pound each), cleaned
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

  • How To Cook:
    1. Cut celery into 3-inch pieces. Blanch in 2 cups boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain.

    2. In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until soft. Place celery on top of onions; place the fish on top of the celery and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    3. Add 1 cup water, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until fish flakes. Remove fish and vegetables, place on a heated platter, and keep warm.

    4. Strain broth in which the fish cooked, measure, and add enough water to make 1 cup. Heat the broth. Beat eggs, lemon juice, and flour in a blender.

    5. Gradually beat in the heated broth. Pour into a saucepan and heat gently until slightly thick. Pour over fish. Garnish with parsley or dill. Serve immediately.

    VARIATION:
    1. Striped bass, sea bass, or red snapper can be substituted for porgies, about 3 pounds, cleaned. Increase water to 1½ cups, cooking time to 30 minutes.
