Herring recipe

Pickled Herring with Red Onion and Dill

Recipe by Mitch Tonks

Serves:
1-3
Prep Time:
500 mins

"I love pickling Herring! It’s one of the best things you can do with them. It's simple to do and this is the recipe I use all the time." - Mitch

Ingredients

6 herrings filleted

5 cups cold water

50g fine salt

300ml white wine or distilled vinegar

Sugar

1 red onion, sliced

Peppercorns

All spice

Coriander seed

Dill Seed

Fresh Dill

Method

Mix the salt with 4 cups of the water to make a brine, and soak the herring fillets overnight.
Make a pickle by heating up the vinegar, remaining water and spices in a pan, and adding enough sugar to balance the vinegar with sweetness.
Let the pickle liquid cool. Wash and thoroughly dry the herring. Then lay the fish in layers with chopped fresh dill and red onion, pour the cooled pickle mixture over the fish.
Chill for a day before enjoying with some rye bread and crème fraiche.
