If you do not trust the quality of store-bought salted fish, prepare mackerel in a hot marinade. The mackerel turns out surprisingly tender, spicy, and very juicy. The hot marinade for mackerel is made with the addition of vinegar, which makes the pieces of fish firmer when boiled and prevents them from falling apart. As a result, in just a few hours, you get a product fully ready for consumption. I recommend this simple and very tasty marinated fish recipe for a family dinner or festive table. You can vary the set of spices to your own taste.

Thaw the frozen mackerel at room temperature.

Wash the fish, cut off the head, tail, and fins. Remove the insides and the black film inside the belly. Wash the prepared fish again, and cut into medium-sized pieces.

For the marinade, combine salt and sugar in a small saucepan. Add the sliced clove of garlic, black and allspice pepper, coriander, and fish seasoning.

Pour 400 ml of water. Put the pot on the fire and boil the marinade for 1-2 minutes to completely dissolve the salt and sugar.

Peel the onion from the husks, slice into half-rings. Place half of the onion in a pot with the marinade.

Distribute the second half of the onion over the fish. Add a bay leaf. Pour in table vinegar and sunflower oil.

Cover the pot with a lid, place it over medium heat. Bring the marinade to a boil, reduce the heat to minimum, and simmer the mackerel with onions for 8-10 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf from the pot, place the fish in the cold for 30-40 minutes. After the specified time, the marinated mackerel can be served at the table. The longer the fish is marinated, the more delicious it becomes. I prepare it a few hours before serving so that it absorbs the spices and marinade.

Serve the pickled mackerel with onions as a cold appetizer. It's very tasty with boiled potatoes and black bread. Enjoy!

Tsvikli is a Ukrainian Easter snack made from beets and horseradish. It is traditionally served with meat dishes for Easter and Christmas. The spicy and aromatic snack perfectly complements the taste of homemade baked ham, sausage, aspic, baked duck or chicken. Tsvikli is quick and easy to prepare, you just need to prepare the beets in advance. Vegetables can be boiled until cooked or baked in foil in the oven. I like the latter option more, baked beets are more juicy and healthy. The spiciness of tsvikli can be adjusted to your taste by adding more or less hot horseradish.

We prepare crispy and delicious sandwiches in the oven for breakfast. For the filling, we will use sausage, eggs, hard cheese, and favorite herbs. If desired, boiled sausage can be replaced with cervelat, ham, boiled chicken fillet, or homemade roast pork. In addition to hard cheese, mozzarella for pizza or suluguni are also suitable. Thanks to the butter mixed with spicy mustard, the sandwiches turn out very juicy and tender. They are perfect for a family breakfast and will make a hearty snack outdoors or on the go.

For the recipe, lightly salted or smoked red fish is suitable: pink salmon, salmon, chum salmon, or trout. If desired, cream cheese can be replaced with butter.

The mock caviar made from herring, carrots, and eggs turns out to be incredibly tasty, tender, and healthy. The smoked cheese adds a special piquant note to the appetizer. For the preparation of the mock caviar, I used slightly salted Matias herring, which is very tender and juicy. The ready pâté can be spread on slices of crispy bread, used as a filling for pancakes, lavash, or waffle tartlets. This serving is perfect for a festive table.

A simple and quick recipe for juicy and spicy marinated mushrooms is especially relevant on the eve of the New Year's holidays. Champignons marinated with this recipe are significantly different in taste and aroma from mushrooms purchased at the supermarket. Spicy champignons can be served as a cold appetizer with roasted or grilled meat, chicken, or a potato side dish. The mushrooms can be used for making festive salads and various appetizers. Marinated champignons can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks, so they can be prepared in advance.
