FISH (ENGELEGTE)— FLAVOURING MIXTURE. [F
fresh red chillies, three dozen coriander seeds, half an
ounce of ground ginger, a few lemon leaves, one ounce of
sugar, one quart of good vinegar. Let these ingredients
boil up well. Then take the fillets of fish (which have
been previously fried a nice brown colour in lard, and well
drained), and put them carefully into the boiling mixture
of curry, and just let it boil up. This ensures its keeping
for months if well corked in small jars. At the Cape the
best fish for pickling are "Kabeljon," "Geelbeck," "Roman,"
etc
