Ingredients
- 3 Onions
- 1 small Leek sticks young
- 300 g Herring fillets
- 1 Carrot
- 300 ml Water
- 5 tbsp Vinegar essence
- 3 tbsp Extra fine sugar
- 1 tsp Crush peppercorns
- 13 Juniper berries squeezed
- 1 tbsp Yellow mustard seeds
- 3 Bay leaves
- 3 small Dried chili peppers
Instructions
- Cut the onions and leeks into very fine slices - rinse the matjes fillets under cold water and pat dry again with kitchen paper.
- Put half of the onions and half of the leeks in a bowl, place the herring fillets on top and cover with the rest of the onions and leeks.
- For the brew, cut the carrot into fine slices. Bring the water, vinegar essence, sugar and all the spices to the boil in a saucepan, add the carrots and simmer on a mild heat for about four minutes, then cool immediately (in a cold water bath, this works very quickly).
- Pour the cooled stock into the herringbone bowl, cover with cling film and leave to steep in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
- Sour herrings last for several days - they taste particularly good with jacket potatoes, fried potatoes or only with fresh farmhouse bread - and they make any "hangover" disappear quickly, which is also important after a New Year's Eve or on the "great days" .
