How to prepare marinated bonito
You clean the fish from the insides, heads and fins. You wash it and dry it well. You cut it into slices about 3-4 cm thick. At the bottom of a pot, you put vine branches, like a grid, and arrange the pre-salted fish on it. Pour the abalone with the oil and vinegar, add the bay leaves, allspice and black pepper. Boil on low heat for about 3 hours.
You put a row of fish in suitable jars, and on top of it you add tomato puree, beans, peas, pickles, fish again and so on until you fill the jars. Top with the sauce in which the bonito is cooked. You seal the filled jars and sterilize them for 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy!
