First, let's prepare the ingredients: one medium-sized carp, five onions, ground red pepper (half a teaspoon), three tablespoons of vegetable oil, four tomatoes (or tomato paste, about 70 grams), fish broth, two bell peppers and salt to taste.

The first step is to clean and gut the carp, wash it thoroughly. Then cut the fish into two parts along the back and each of them in half to get four portioned pieces. Salt the fish, let it sit for a while and fry in a frying pan in vegetable oil until half cooked. This step will give the carp an appetizing crust.

Meanwhile, cut the onion into small cubes and lightly sauté it in a saucepan until soft. This will give the dish a deeper flavor. Then add the fried pieces of fish to the saucepan with the onion. Cut the tomatoes and bell peppers, add them to the saucepan with the fish. Pepper, pour in a little fish broth and simmer everything over low heat until the fish is fully cooked.

You can vary this recipe a little by adding a drop of fresh lemon juice at the end of cooking. Lemon will give the dish a slight sourness and emphasize the taste of the fish.
