2. Layering: In a large Dutch oven or your preferred cooking pot (a pasta pot works great), place the gefilte fish evenly at the bottom. Sprinkle the ground paprika over the fish, adding a dash of flavor and color to the dish.

3. Vegetable Addition: Carefully cover the fish with the sliced onions, celery, and carrots, creating a colorful bed of vegetables that will infuse the fish with their aromatic essence during cooking.

4. Liquid Infusion: Pour in any reserved liquid from the gefilte fish packaging, ensuring that every element in the pot gets a taste of the savory broth.

5. Cooking: Cover the pot with a lid and set it over low heat. Let the flavors mingle and develop as the fish gently simmers in the aromatic broth for about an hour.

6. Finishing Touch: After an hour, uncover the pot and let the fish cook for an additional half hour. This step allows the liquid to reduce slightly, intensifying the flavors and textures of the dish.

7. Chilling: Once cooked to perfection, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the pot to the refrigerator, allowing the liquid to set and form a delicate jelly-like texture around the fish.

8. Serving: Serve the doctored gefilte fish cold, accompanied by a dollop of vibrant red beet horseradish for a burst of tangy flavor that perfectly complements the delicate fish.

• Make-Ahead: This dish can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making it an excellent option for entertaining or holiday gatherings.
