MUSTARD BALTIC HERRING FROM GOTLAND
Gotländsk senapsströmming
Gotland is an island outside the south-east coast of Sweden. I've never been there, but it's famous for so many things - the Middle Age Week, the old wall around the city of Visby, the scenery, the sheep, and so much more I don't know anything about.
Serves approx 4
1 lb 5 oz gutted and trimmed
Baltic herring
3/4 teaspoon salt
0.4 cup finely chopped dill
butter or margarine
2 egg yolks
2½ tablespoons coarsely ground,
sweet mustard
0.8 cup heavy cream
some black pepper
1 tablespoon dried breadcrumbs
Decoration:
chopped dill and chives
For serving:
new potatoes
salad
Preheat oven to 392F.
Cut off the back fin and rinse the fish well under running cold water. Drain. Put the fish on a carving board with the meaty side up. Sprinkle with salt and dill. Roll up and put in a greased, oven-proof dish. Beat together egg yolks, mustard, cream and black pepper and pour this over the fish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Put the dish in the middle of the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Decorate with dill and chives and serve with boiled new potatoes and a salad.
Enjoy!
