In addition to red and black pepper, the dish can be seasoned with ground coriander, paprika, nutmeg or turmeric. Spices will make it more spicy and piquant. Be sure to try making homemade pickled herring using this recipe, it’s very tasty!

  • fresh frozen herring 1 kg
  • medium sized carrots 1 pc.
  • onions 5 medium sized onions
  • tomato paste 2 tbsp. l.
  • refined vegetable oil 125 ml
  • table vinegar 9% 50 ml
  • red hot pepper 1 tsp.
  • ground black pepper 1 tsp.
  • coarse table salt 1 tbsp. l.

For this recipe, the fish must be defrosted first. To do this, I simply take it out of the refrigerator, take it out of the plastic bag and transfer the fish to a large, deep bowl. Then I wait until the herring is completely thawed at room temperature. It is not advisable to fill it with water, defrost it in the microwave, or carry out any other manipulations with the fish.

When the herring is defrosted, we will start cutting it. No matter how much one would like to delay this long process, they still have to do it. So, let's stock up on a knife with a small sharp blade, a cutting board, parchment paper and paper towels and get started. I usually line my cutting board with parchment paper (you can use regular clean sheets) to make it easier to clean later. Then all fish waste can simply be thrown away along with the paper.

  1. Take the herring by the back and make a longitudinal cut along the belly. Try to make the cut exactly in the middle. There will be either caviar or milk inside. They can be eaten or simply thrown away. Everything else inside the herring is inedible, so carefully remove all the insides and carefully scrape the belly with a knife to remove the mucus.
  2. Now let’s cut off the fish’s head by placing the knife blade all the way under the fin. Next, cut off the tail. We thoroughly rinse the fish carcass under running water, outside and inside, to completely remove the black film and bitterness.
  3. Place the herring on a board covered with paper and make a cut along the back from head to tail. Cut out the fin by going around it with a knife on both sides. In the same way we cut out the second fin, which is located near the tail.
  4. Now carefully remove the skin from the fish. To do this, pick it up near the head of the herring and remove it completely, moving towards the tail. This is quite easy to do, the main thing is not to rush and not make sudden movements.
  5. Now it remains to separate the fillet from the ridge, starting from the head. First, separate one half of the fillet, then the other. Some of the bones will be removed along with the ridge. We will get the rest by hand. Cut the finished fillet into oblong pieces 2 centimeters wide and place in a deep bowl or bowl.

Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan or small saucepan. For this recipe we will use unscented clarified butter. Add tomato paste and mix. The mixture will not become homogeneous, but we don’t need that. Place it over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for several minutes. Remove the marinade from the heat and cool to room temperature.

Let's wash and peel the carrots. We grate it on a special Korean carrot grater, as required by the recipe. If you don’t have such a grater, you can cut the carrots into thin strips or chop them on a regular coarse grater.

Place the carrots in a bowl with herring.

Peel 5 onions. For this recipe I used medium sized onions. Cut it in half and cut it into half rings of medium thickness. Do not cut the onion into too thick slices, otherwise it will not marinate and will remain bitter.

Place the chopped onion in a bowl with other ingredients.

Now pour 50 ml of vinegar into the resulting mixture, as indicated in the recipe. It's best not to use apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar. This will give the finished dish a characteristic taste. Regular table vinegar will be just right. Add salt and two types of peppers. If you are not a fan of too spicy food, you can reduce the amount of pepper.

Mix all the ingredients until they are combined and saturated with spices.

According to the recipe, pour the cooled marinade into a bowl with fish and vegetables.

Mix everything carefully.

Now put the fish into a tightly sealed container (preferably not made of plastic) and put it in the refrigerator. After 12-18 hours, the Korean herring will be completely marinated and ready.

The finished dish can be served with a side dish, such as hot potatoes or rice. You can also use it as a snack by placing it on small pieces of fresh bread.

Recipe 2: Korean herring at home

Korean herring according to this recipe turned out excellent, with a very interesting taste. Even sweetish, which is surprising. After all, sugar is not added to the marinade at all.

We use fresh frozen herring. I’ll pay special attention to the onion. I recommend using it a lot. As for me, the onion turns out a hundred times tastier than the fish itself. As for spices, you can add any favorite fish spices.

  • Herring 2 pcs.
  • Onions 3-4 pcs.
  • Vegetable oil 1 cup
  • Tomato sauce 2 tbsp. spoon
  • Vinegar 50-70 ml
  • Spices 1-2 tbsp. spoon
  • Salt 1 tbsp. spoon

Let's start with herring. This is the most responsible and time-consuming step. First, clean the fish from the entrails and cut off the head. We do not remove the skin. Then we cut along the ridge and prepare the fillet. It is important that there are no bones (especially large ones).

Cut the herring fillet into pieces. And also at this stage you should peel the onions and cut them into thick half rings or rings (as you like).

Now let's make the marinade. Add the specified amount of tomato sauce (or paste) to the vegetable oil. Mix and put on fire. Bring to a boil and remove. Pour vinegar here and leave to cool for a short time - 5-7 minutes.

Add fish spices, a mixture of peppers, salt and mix. Cover the marinade with a lid and leave to rest for 7-10 minutes.

Place the herring and onion in layers in a food container or glass jar. If you marinate milk (or herring caviar), then place it on top at the very end.

Pour in the marinade and close with a lid. Now you need to shake everything thoroughly. Well, all that remains is to put it under pressure and put it in the refrigerator. After 2 hours, Korean-style herring can already be served. But it will taste better after 12-15 hours. Ready! Let's try!

Wash the fish with cold water, dry it and carefully make an incision along the ridge.

Divide the herring into two parts, remove all internal organs, and remove the black film. Remove the spine; if small bones remain, you can get rid of them with ordinary tweezers.

Cover the herring with a flat plate and place a weight on it; for this you can use a filled plastic bottle. Leave for about half an hour.

Wash the carrots with cold water, peel off the top layer and grate, preferably using a Korean grater. Or you can use a vegetable slicer.

After 30 minutes, you need to drain some of the liquid, since about half of it will still be useful to us for further preparation.

Add quartered onion rings to the bowl with the fish. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.

Pass the garlic cloves through a special press and place on a plate with the rest of the food.

After this, add the required amount of table salt. It is better to use rock salt as it contains more beneficial minerals.

Add vegetable oil, soy sauce and a small amount of red pepper. Grind the coriander grains in a mortar. You can also use ground coriander, a Korean seasoning. It all depends on preference. Add spices to the bowl with fish.

Salting herring pieces with onions and carrots- one of the ways to prepare delicious lightly salted herring at home. Many people love salted herring and most often buy it in stores, although you can also pickle it at home. Fish cooked at home will be even tastier. There are a lot of recipes for pickling herring at home. For example, you can salt a whole herring carcass or cut it into pieces.

To pickle herring, a marinade made from sugar, salt, spices and water is most often used, but you can also pickle herring using the dry method by rolling it in salt. This method of salting herring at home is used somewhat less frequently; it is more often used for salting red fish - salmon, pink salmon, salmon.

Today I want to show you a simple and quick way to pickle pieces of herring with the addition of onions and carrots. Thanks to onions and vinegar, marinating herring is significantly reduced compared to marinating it in a regular salted marinade.

Add bay leaf. Black peppercorns. Place vegetables on top of the fish.

Pour the resulting marinade over the herring.

Close the jar tightly with a lid.

The marinade should completely cover the fish and vegetables.

How to prepare herring salad “Only three”

The recipe is for 3 servings



Ingredients:
- herring (lightly salted) - 200 g,
- onion - 3 pcs.,
- carrot root - 3 pcs.,
- vegetable oil - 3 tbsp,
- salt,
- spices.


Step-by-step recipe with photos:





Cut the peeled onion into long strips. To do this, first cut the onion in half and then slice it thinly along the grain.




Grind the peeled carrots on a grater or chop them with a knife.




Pour oil into a heated frying pan and add vegetables. Saute them over low heat for 5-7 minutes until they become soft.




I fry them separately.






Next, let's deal with herring. If we have a whole carcass, then first we cut off the fins, tail and head. Then we remove the skin from the carcass - pry it off in one place and simply pull it off like a stocking. And then we rip open the belly and take out the insides, using a knife to clean the belly from the films. Then we fillet the carcass, selecting the backbone and bones. Be sure to use tweezers to select small bones from the fillet, because the presence of fish bones in the finished dish is simply unacceptable.




Now cut the fillet into neat pieces.




And mix with hot sautéed vegetables.
We transfer the salad with herring, onions and carrots into a container, close the lid and put it in the refrigerator for soaking for a couple of hours.

Excellent table snack! On the New Year's and any other holiday table it will seriously compete with the traditional "".

Salted herring fillet, cut into pieces, is soaked in carrot and onion dressing. And it is served on the table with it. This simple and unpretentious appetizer of herring with carrots and onions looks very bright and festive! And it literally costs “three kopecks.”

The appetizer has a mild homemade taste, but if desired, it can be easily made vigorous and spicy. Just add red or other pepper, spices or vinegar. Or you can do it all at once.

You can buy herring fillets ready-made, already cut and salted. Or buy fresh frozen herring, salt it and after a couple of days separate the fillet from it. This option is cheaper, but more labor intensive.


- 250 gr. salted herring fillet,
- 1 large carrot,
- 1 onion head,
- 3 tablespoons of refined oil,
- ground black pepper on the tip of a knife,
- table salt to taste.

Recipe with photos step by step:





For a snack we need large, juicy fresh carrots. Wash it thoroughly in cold water under the tap. Peel with a knife or a special vegetable peeler. Take a grater and grate the carrots on it. If you want to add an unusual and festive look to your appetizer, use a grater. Then the pieces turn out smooth and interesting in shape. You can also carefully cut the carrots into small pieces with a knife, but in this case you will have to put in a lot of diligence.

We also peel the onion and rinse it in cold water. We chop it into half rings. To cut onions, it is most convenient to take a wide chef’s knife, naturally, as sharp as possible. In this case, cutting will go very quickly and without tears. If your eyes are prone to watery eyes when working with onions, you can use a simple “grandmother’s method” - place a glass of cold water next to it to wet the knife in it while slicing. The water will flow from the knife onto the onion and wash away the onion juice that causes tears to flow.





Place a frying pan on the stove and pour about three tablespoons of refined vegetable oil into it. Place chopped vegetables in oil. Fry over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula. Turn off the fire.





Take salted fish fillet and cut into small pieces.





Transfer the pieces of herring directly into the frying pan with the vegetables.







Stir everything with a spatula. As a result, the fish pieces should be evenly distributed with the onions and carrots.

Cover the pan with a lid. And leave at room temperature for about five hours.








Bon appetit.
