Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 fish fillets (matjes fillet)
  • 1 large onion(s)
  • 2 tomatoes (vine tomatoes)
  • 2 gherkins

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Chop the herring fillets into small pieces. Chop the onions, gherkins, and tomatoes very finely. Mix everything together well in a glass bowl and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Adding vinegar and/or oil isn’t necessary, as the tomatoes and gherkins will release enough liquid. Personally, I prefer Spreewald gherkins. Serve the herring salad with black bread. It’s also a good accompaniment to boiled potatoes. It’s excellent with any cold buffet, as a hangover cure, or just on its own.
