Spicy Gefilte Fish

Now this is what I call cheating. You can wow your guests with this original gefilte fish recipe without even trying very hard.
 
Here's how to make it:
 
Take one frozen UNGER'S brand gefilte fish and unwrap it. Place it immediately into an aluminum loaf pan (it should fit perfectly inside). Set aside.
 
In a saucepan, heat a couple tablespoons of oil and add a chopped onion. Brown the onions. Once browned, add 3 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes or harissa, 5 tablespoons of tomato sauce or 1 can of tomato paste. Stir the mixture often, or you risk having the sugar from the ketchup burn. Reduce the whole mixture until it's nice and thick. Spread over the gefilte fish and cover with foil. Bake gefilte fish for 1.5 hours at 250 degree (check it occasionally to see if it's ready). Remove from oven, cool, slice and serve.
 
Voila!
