Christmas specials: rolmopsy

Yet another way to enjoy salted herring: rolled herrings (PL: rolmopsy).

You'll need:

4 salted herring fillets (for 8 rolmopsy)

1 sour cucumber

1/2 onion

spicy mustard

oil

vinegar

8 coctail sticks

 

1. Put the herring fillets in cold water for 2-3 hours, depending on how salty they are. Change water from time to time. Remove when they achieve the right level of saltiness.

2. Cut the fillets into halves longways. Spread some mustard on the inner side.

3. Cut the cucumber and the onion into thin slices.

4. Put a slice of a cucumber and onion on the edge of each herring fillet and roll. Pin each rolled fillet with a coctail stick.

5. Put you rolled herrings in abowl or a wide den jar.

6. Add oil to 3/4 height of the herrings and and then add enough vinegar to cover them fully in the marinade.

7. Leave for two days in the marinade, et voila!

Bon appétit!
