We offer you an alternative option for cooking carp in a slow cooker in the following video:

When buying fresh fish at the market, I always ask the seller to clean it. To be honest, I don’t really like gutting bream, carp and other river fish.

Lubricate the bottom of the multicooker bowl with vegetable oil, lay out the onions cut into rings - this will be a vegetable cushion for our carp.


We cut off the head of the fish, gut it, wash the carcass thoroughly, and wipe it dry inside with napkins. To prepare stuffed carp in a slow cooker, put a carrot in its belly.


Place the carp on the onion in a slow cooker, salt, pepper, sprinkle with fish spices and dill (I used dried, but fresh will be even better).


Gently pour sour cream over the carp (I use thick sour cream so that it doesn’t spread too much when cooking).


Close the multicooker lid, turn on the “Baking” mode, cooking time is 45 minutes.


While the baked carp was cooking in the slow cooker, you could do whatever you wanted - prepare a side dish or a vegetable salad, or you could just lie down and relax. By the way, when the fish is baked, you can put a steamer bowl and prepare a side dish, for example, steamed potatoes. You will have two dishes ready in one time!

The scents are incomparable! Place the finished carp on a dish, you can open a bottle of your favorite white wine and enjoy dinner! By the way, you can stuff this fish with mushrooms, fresh herbs, apple or bell pepper. In my case, carp stuffed with carrots and baked in a slow cooker turned out juicy, soft and very tasty. The carrots gave a pleasant sweetness, and the spices gave a wonderful aroma. Bon appetit!

With the advent of multicookers in the everyday life of housewives, their lives have become easier, and the range of dishes they prepare has increased. So everyone’s favorite mirror carp can be prepared using this kitchen unit in several ways.

A multicooker will help make the process of cooking carp easier.

A universal pan, first of all, will reduce the participation of the housewife to a minimum. She just needs to add all the necessary ingredients and follow the instructions, then close the lid, select a program or set her own cooking parameters.

Then all you have to do is wait for the cooking time to end and enjoy the result. Recipes for steamed, stewed, baked or fried carp in a slow cooker do not require pre-processing in the oven or on the stove.

Also, in addition to the main function, all these devices from well-known manufacturers, for example, Redmond, are able to continue to maintain the temperature of the dish after cooking and turn on automatically in the mode selected by the user.

Using it at home, you can achieve the creation of balanced fish dishes that, without the use of a baking sleeve, will retain the taste and aroma of all ingredients.

At the same time, there are also disadvantages to such a device. If you select a frying or baking program, even if multi-sided heating is available, the ingredients will still come into contact with the inner walls of the appliance. Thus, food often burns, which can ruin the taste of the entire dish.

The multicooker preserves all the beneficial substances contained in the products

Cooking recipes

Even the largest household pressure cookers are not impressive in size, so you won’t be able to bake a mirror carcass or a whole carp. The fish awaits preliminary step-by-step processing.

Cutting

Mirror carp is attractive because it is easy to clean from scales; with other individuals of this family you will have to tinker - their outer covering is large and hard. If a large carp is to be prepared, then you can use a regular grater. The side intended for cutting thin plastics should be applied with slight pressure in the direction from the tail to the head. At this time, the fish lies on the table; you don’t need to hold it, which is very convenient.

Now, in the opposite direction from the gills to the rear fin, you need to make a deep incision, pull out the giblets and remove the remains of the internal organs. Rinse the carcass under running cold water from the outside and in the vacated abdominal cavity.

Since the carp baked in a slow cooker or steamed is planned only in pieces, you need to remove the head. This could have been done earlier, but only after the scales had been removed. To do this, using a sharp and thin knife, you need to make a deep cut on one side and on the other, at an angle under the respiratory organs of the fish, with great effort to free it from the spine. There is no need to throw it away, it will go to the ear.

To begin with, the fish is separated and cut into pieces.

Then the fins are removed and the skin is removed if you do not want to use it. A shallow cut is made along the entire length of the ridge, which is also made on the sides in front of the tail. The skin can be easily and quickly removed from the rear fin to the head.

Now, taking care to leave the spine and ribs below the knife blade, use a knife to separate the top fillet. All the bones will remain on the bottom of the carcass, which is also easy to cut off from the fish, leaving only the flesh on the table. Then you can cut it into pieces or leave it in one piece.

Main components

All cyprinids are characterized by an unpleasant taste and aroma, which is common to all river inhabitants. It can be easily eliminated by using spices during the cooking process.

So, using lemon solves several problems at the same time:

  • elimination of unpleasant odor;
  • softening of small bones.

It is also useful to include onions in the list of products, because any fish goes well with sautéed onions.

You can add greens and herbs, but not everyone likes them. So, if the inhabitants of the house like their presence, then the dish will turn out even tastier and more aromatic.

Spices are added to the dish as desired

Salt and ground black pepper are always used. If seafood doesn’t need to be salted, then river animals definitely need to be salted.
