Preparation: Fry the bacon in oil. Add the onions. Add vegetables when onions are glassy. Add two-thirds of a litre of stock. Add the lentils slowly and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and leave to simmer for 30 minutes. Test lentils to see if done. Add more stock if necessary. Shortly before serving add the mustard and tomato paste. Season with salt, pepper and vinegar. Swabian noodles: Break the eggs into a large bowl. Add salt and whisk. Using a wooden spoon stir in the sieved flour and the semolina and beat until bubbles form. Leave to stand for 30 minutes. Spread some of the dough onto a board and cut and scrape small slivers into the boiling water. When the noodles rise to the surface, remove them and after draining excess water, fry them in a little butter. Fish: Season the fresh perchpike fillets on the flesh side. Drizzle with lemon juice. Press the skin side into flour. Place in a hot pan with the skin side down. When the flesh starts turning white, the fish is ready. Put some butter into the pan. Turn the fish for a short time and serve with the lentils and the noodles.
