Rollmops with prune and orange recipe - herrings

Method

• Soak the herring fillets in either water or milk for at least 2 hours, changing the liquid several times.

• If the fillets are very thick, cut some of the flesh away from the herring using a knife, working towards the top of the fillets using a gentle saw-like motion (it should be easy to roll).
• Wash the oranges and then zest them with a zester.
• Then remove the white pith from the oranges, leaving only the juicy fillets of fruit.
• Cut the California prunes in half.
• On the top of fillet put half-piece of the California prune, orange fillet and a few strands of orange peel from oranges.

• Place the rollmops in the bottom of a deep dish and pour linseed oil until all rollmops are covered.
• Set aside the rollmops in the fridge for min.
• several hours.
• Enjoy your meal!
