At the bottom of the dish, put first raw and sliced beets, onions, carrots, on them-pieces of pike filled with minced meat, and then again a layer of vegetables, a layer of fish, etc. Laying so 3-4 rows, pour the fish and vegetables with cold water, add garlic and cook in a closed bowl for 3-4 hours, watering the upper layers of fish broth in which it is cooked.
