Pickled herring with onion and vinegar in a fragrant dressing

Homemade pickled herring is many times better than store-bought. My recipe will allow you to cook fish that will amaze you with its taste and smell. It’s perfect to serve this herring with potatoes.

one herring;
1-2 pieces of onions;
Bay leaf;
3 peas of aromatic pepper;
half a teaspoon of sugar;
a pinch of dark ground pepper;
a tablespoon of six percent vinegar;
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
3 tablespoons of water.

How to cook herring:

Clean the fish from skin, entrails and bones. Cut the purchased two pieces of fillet into slices.
Make the marinade: pour hot water into a small bowl, add dark and aromatic pepper, sugar, vinegar and oil. Stir thoroughly.
Peel the onion and cut it into rings or halves of rings.
Take a clean jar and place onions and fish there in layers. Break the bay leaf into pieces and place in a container.
Pour the marinade over the product, close the lid and let it stand in the refrigerator for about eight hours. During the marinating process, it is better to shake the jar from time to time - this way the fish will be better soaked. After the specified time has passed, the herring can be eaten.

Advice: choose your herring carefully. It does not have to be damaged, covered in stains, and reddish liquid does not have to flow from it.

Very tasty herring with lemon in a jar

Another marinating option is with lemon. The herring comes out extremely tasty, warm, and moderately salty. Be sure to take note of this recipe - it will amuse any gourmet!

2 onions;
4 dark peppercorns;
a pair of bay leaves;
a third of a lemon;
half a teaspoon of salt;
a teaspoon of sugar;
200 ml water;
a tablespoon of vinegar.

Make the marinade: pour water into a saucepan, add sugar and salt, place bay leaves and peppercorns there. Boil, add vinegar and turn off the stove. Wait for it to cool to room temperature.
Thaw the fish and prepare: cut off the head and tail, remove the entrails, wash and dry, remove the skin from the herring. Remove the seeds.
Cut the fillet into small pieces.
Peel the onion and cut into thin rings. Cut the lemon into small pieces.
Place the fish tenderloin in a clean jar, alternating it with lemon and onion. Pour the marinade over the product, close the container with a lid and place in the refrigerator. Let stand for about 5 hours.

Note: to make it easier to remove the seeds, use tweezers.

Pickled herring . Pickled herring differs from salted herring in that its brine contains a component such as vinegar. Pickled herring cooks faster than pickled herring. A wide variety of vinegar can be used in pickling herring - white, balsamic, apple, grape, ordinary table vinegar...

Usually, to marinate herring at home, the fins, tail, head are cut off from the fish carcass, and the entrails are removed. You can marinate herring as a whole carcass. But such herring will cook faster if it is cut into fillets, removing the backbone and large bones from it.

The herring is marinated in pieces in a marinade that, in addition to vinegar, contains salt, as well as other fragrant spices and seasonings - bay leaf, dark peppercorns, ground pepper, mustard seeds and other ingredients that give a special smell to the fish marinade.

In the marinade for herring, culinary recipes often call for the use of horseradish root, ginger root, vegetable oil; you can find onions, carrots, and other vegetables in recipes.

Pickled herring according to other recipes can be served 3-4 hours after it is prepared.

You can use pickled herring as a separate appetizer; you can also use it in salads and snack dishes. You can serve it with a side dish, for example, mashed potatoes and herbs.

Homemade pickled herring is best stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2-3 days. This is a product that should be prepared in order to serve it, without taking into account its long-term storage.
