The recipe we are about to share is for a delectable and european traditional dish known as fried carp roe.

This delicacy is enjoyed not only during Christmas but is also relished throughout the year.

To add flavor to the dish, you can season the roe with your preferred ingredients. Some popular choices include onions, garlic, or shallots. You can also add a dash of lemon juice to give it a tangy taste.

Fried carp roe can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish. It is a perfect addition to any festive meal and is sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of carp roe
• 1/4 cup of milk
• salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup of corn flour
• 2 tablespoons of flour
• 3 tablespoons of oil
• large onion
• 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Instructions:

• Rinse the carp roe in fresh water.
• Use your fingers to clean the eggs thoroughly. Don’t forget to wash your hands before and after. Then put the clean roe on a plate.
• In a bowl, mix milk, salt, and pepper to your taste. You can always add more, so put a smaller amount first.
• In another bowl or deep plate, mix corn flour and regular flour with a spoon or fork.
• Coat the roe by first dipping them in the milk mixture and then in the flour mixture. Soak the eggs in the milk mixture from all sides. Ensure they are coated thoroughly with the flour mixture as it will give the eggs a great taste.
• Prepare the pan by adding a little olive oil and heating it to medium-high heat.
• It is best to use olive oil and wait until it is heated. Only then put the eggs in it.
• Fry the eggs on each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. If the pan has a lid, use it to prevent the carp roe from splattering the oil.
• Using a slotted spoon, turn the roe over to ensure they are fried evenly.
• Place the finished carp roe on a paper towel to soak up excess oil. Cover the eggs to keep them warm while you fry the rest.
• Leave the pan on. Put a little more oil in the pan and add finely chopped onion. Stir fry for about eight minutes until the onions are browned and softened. Stir constantly to prevent the onion from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Add grated garlic to the onion in the pan and fry for about a minute – the garlic must not become bitter. Then, add the lemon juice.
• Stir with a wooden spoon as this will ensure that the garlic is roasted well and evenly. You are done when you have thoroughly mixed the lemon juice into the mixture.
• The roe will have cooled down enough that you can pour the finished sauce over it. Serve them hot.
• If you don’t know if your family will like the onion mixture, put only a small amount directly on the roe.
