Armenian Style Cold Pickerel Recipes

Steps:

• Sterilize 8 large mouth quart jars and lids.
• Prepare vegetables and divide among eight quart jars .I use raw vegetables because I like the crunch. Stuff jars tightly with vegetables, adding carrots and green beans into the corners, pushing down with a wooden spoon. Put two sprigs of dill and two cloves of garlic in each jar with one or more teaspoons of pickling spice, to taste.( I use about 1-1/2 tsps.) Add one or more hot peppers to each jar if you like spicy pickles.
• Boil water, vinegar, salt and turmeric.
• Pour into each jar to fill and seal.
• Store in a cool dry place for four to six weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Place 2 fillets onto the center of a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Drizzle with butter and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and place some of the onion rings over top. Bring the sides of the aluminum foil over the fish and fold several times. Roll up the ends, making the pouch airtight. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Place the pouches onto the grill, and cook until the fish is no longer opaque in the center, and flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
