Step-by-step preparation of a salted herring snack with onions, a recipe with a photo:
1. Peel the herring from both sides of the film. To do this, pry it near the head with a knife and gently pull it down towards the tail. The skin may take off a little (like in my photo), but that's okay.
Then cut off the head and tail. After that, rip open the stomach and remove all the insides, being careful not to damage the gallbladder. If there is caviar or milk, do not throw them away, but serve with the herring to the table. There is a black film on the inside of the peritoneum, remove it.
Now pry the fillet with your hands and carefully separate it from the ridge. If bones remain in the fillet, remove them. Also cut off all the fins. Then rinse the fillets with caviar or milk well under running cold water and dry with a paper towel.
Use lightly salted fish for this snack. But its saltier counterpart will do. Then strongly salted fish, I recommend soaking it in cold drinking water for 10 minutes. You can also cook salted herring yourself. To do this, use the search box on the site and enter the name of the recipe.
2. Cut the prepared fish fillet into 1 cm pieces. Although the thickness of the slices can be any as you like.
3. Peel the onions (red and white), rinse with cold water and dry with a paper towel. Ordinary yellow onions are also suitable for the recipe.
4. Chop the onion into thin quarter rings of equal thickness. Chop it as small as possible. Sprinkle vinegar and sugar on the onion, if desired. Stir, remember with your hands and leave to marinate for 30 minutes. This will reduce the harsh taste.
5. Place the onions in a chaotic manner on a serving bowl.
6. Put the fish fillet on the onion and pour 2-3 tbsp. vegetable oil, it will soften the taste of onions and set off the taste of herring. Then send the salted herring and onion appetizer in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. And before serving, if you wish, you can decorate the dish with chopped green onions. Boil potatoes for garnish, season with butter and serve with the fish. No one will refuse such a dinner.
Such a herring with onions can be made for future use for 2-3 days. To do this, put chopped onions with pieces of herring, fold the glass jar in layers and fill everything with vegetable oil. Close the jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator.
