Zubereitung von Homemade Authentic Gefilte Fish

Combine all fish fillets in a large bowl. Gently flake the fish into smaller pieces using your hands or a fork. Avoid over-processing the fish.
In a separate bowl, combine the chopped onion, carrots, celery, parsley, and beet (if using).
Add the salt, pepper, sugar, and wine to the vegetable mixture. Stir well.
Gently fold the fish mixture and vegetable mixture together in the bowl. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the fish mushy.
Add the eggs and matzah meal to the fish mixture and gently mix until combined.
Grease a large pot or Dutch oven. Pour in the mixture.
Add enough water to cover the fish mixture by 2-3 inches. This will allow for proper cooking and prevent sticking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 150 minutes. Check the water level occasionally and add more if necessary.
After 150 minutes, carefully remove the gefilte fish from the pot and let it cool completely. The gefilte fish will firm up as it cools.
Refrigerate overnight (or for at least several hours) to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Serve chilled with horseradish.
