Ingredients for 4 servings:
- 8 herring fillets
- ¼ liter mineral water or milk, if necessary
- 2 apples
- 2 onions
- 3 gherkins
- 500 g yogurt, 1.5% or 1.8%, depending on availability
- 200 g sour cream
- 100 g crème fraîche
- 2 tbsp cucumber juice
- 1 tsp sugar
- Pepper from the mill
- dill
Instructions
Working time approx. 35 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 35 minutes
Instead of a lot of cream and mayonnaise we use yogurt and less sour cream and crème fraîche
Briefly rinse the herring fillets under running water. Taste a piece of the fish; if it’s still too salty, place the fillets in a bowl of mineral water or milk for about 30 minutes. Mix together yogurt, sour cream, crème fraîche, and the cucumber juice to make a sauce, and season with sugar and freshly ground pepper. Salt is generally not necessary, as the fish will release enough salt into the sauce. Wash, peel, and core the apples, then thinly slice the gherkins. Peel the onion, slice it into thin rings, and add it to the sauce with the apple and cucumber slices. Then fold in the herring fillets and let everything marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Garnish with dill before serving. I recommend serving with boiled potatoes.
