Holiday house ‘’Mežābeles’’ is located 17 km from Krāslava in an ecologically clean, nature-protected area in lake Drīdzis country park. It is surrounded by forests, meadows, and a clear lake – teeming with fish. Each person has their tree and flower that can heal and relieve stress. Sometimes a simple walk outdoors – in the forest, meadow, and lake-shore – is the best medicine for peace of mind.

Special offer: “Organic fish soup cooked on fire”.

Recipe:
All the ingredients used (except salt, pepper) are ecologically clean and obtained in organic farms of Latgale. The amount of ingredients depends on the number of people. The following description is for 15 full servings. You need a pot suitable for cooking on fire; it will be used for 5 liters of soup.

Ingredients: 2-3 middle-sized fish (tench or perch, one type of fish should be used);

4 l of lake water (we use water from lake Drīdzis, but you can replace it with clear water from well);

1 tablespoon of salt; 1 tablespoon of pepper; 2 middle-sized carrots; 4 big potatoes (preferably from the autumn harvest); 1 middle-sized onion, 200 g of butter, 100 g of vodka (home-brew).

Preparation: clean fish from fins, scales, gills, and insides. Put them into the pot with water. Hang the pot on the fire and start to boil. Boil for about 20 minutes and to make bouillon clear scum the foam. While the fish is boiling, peel the carrots, potatoes, and onions. Chop everything. When fish is ready, take them out of the pot. Remove fish bones. Put peeled and chopped vegetables in boiling bullion. Boil for 15 minutes until the potatoes are ready. When vegetables are ready, add butter, fish, salt, and pepper. When everything starts to boil, add home-brew and remove from the fire. Serve hot. Add greens (spring onions, parsley, dill) to taste).
