Recipe for the whitefish in “Saor”
The fish preparation “in saor” was once an ancient Venetian method for preserving fish.. Originally the recipe was prepared with sardines, flour, onion and vinegar. Onion and vinegar confer the fish “saor” which is Venetian dialect for “sapore” (flavor). During the Renaissance people started adding raisins and pine.
Cut the onions very thinly. Cook in oil until softened, then add vinegar and wine, salt and pepper; cook until liquid is mostly absorbed, adding pine nuts and raisins toward the end.
Spread the whitefish fillet in a layer, and cover with a layer of the onion mixture. Depending on the quantity and the size of the pan, you may repeat this, alternating layers of sarde and layers of onion. But you can also just pour the onion mix over one layer of fish; it will still taste fabulous. Cover with foil or plastic wrap. This dish should be eaten at room temperature.
This dish should sit for a minimum of 24 hours; the longer you wait to eat it, the better it is: sweet, sour, salty and succulent, all at the same time!
