Cooking, German
Preparation: The fish is cut into large pieces. A baking dish is
buttered and the pieces of fish placed in. Add 3 tablespoonfuls of
heated butter, stirred with 2 tablespoonfuls of flour, the cream,
champignon juice and bouillon. The latter may be omitted. Cook the
gravy until it is smooth and add the lemon juice, salt, pepper,
chopped champignons and capers.
The tongue which has been boiled is skinned and sliced and put into
the gravy, then boiled a few minutes and tasted as to seasoning. Pour
this gravy over the fish, strew with Parmesan cheese and drip on some
butter. Place the baking dish into a dish with water and bake in the
oven to a nice color.
