Instructions:

For the caraway sturgeon on roasted pointed cabbage with potato and potato dumplings on red beet sauce, it is best to have the fish chiselled (skin cut) by the dealer first, because the sturgeon has a rather leathery skin and hard scale leaves in the middle. Wash the skin before seasoning if necessary. The sturgeon has a tough black slime.

Season the meat side with salt, pepper and lemon juice and sprinkle the caraway seeds on the skin side. Cover the bottom of a frying pan with olive oil and preheat to medium heat. Place the sturgeon in the pan on the skin side and slow fry for about 12 minutes until the skin is all crispy, then remove the pan from the heat and turn the fish over to finish cooking in the pan. As an alternative, you can also use a catfish.

Reduce the beet juice to a quarter and add the fish stock and bring to the boil. Stir the cold butter into the hot stock, then stir in the sour cream (be careful, if the sour cream gets too hot it will flocculate! In a pinch, you can use the blender to bring the sauce back). Season to taste with salt, a little lemon juice and horseradish.

Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the stalk, then cut each quarter crosswise once so that you get leaves of about 4×4 cm. Blanch the cabbage leaves in plenty of salted water for about 5 minutes and immediately rinse in ice water, drain.

Peel the onion, halve it and cut it into fine strips. Fry bacon cubes in a little olive oil, then add cabbage and fry. Allow the cabbage to color slightly, then add the onion and sauté briefly. Deglaze with white wine and steam the cabbage until soft, then season with salt and pepper.

Wash and peel the potatoes and cut into large cubes. Boil the potatoes in plenty of water until soft, drain and let the potatoes steam out in a hot pan (the drier the potatoes are, the more beautiful the dough will be). Put the cooked potatoes through the “Flotte Lotte”, knead the curd, the eggs, the flour into the mass and season with the spices. From the mass turn small dumplings and cool the dumplings for about 1 hour. Boil the dumplings in salted water. It is advantageous to cook a dumpling after turning it to test it, because the dough always behaves differently. In case the dumplings are too soft, add a little flour.

Serve caraway sturgeon on roasted pointed cabbage with potato and potato dumplings on red beet sauce.
