Today we are preparing delicious spicy salt herring at home! Lightly salted, fragrant, with green onions and hot boiled potatoes – who can resist such a delicacy? Homemade salted fish turns out much tastier than store-bought. The recipe is simple, quick, and very successful. The composition of spices and the degree of fish salting can be adjusted to taste. After 3 days, the herring will be lightly salted, on the 4th day – salted.

Remove the frozen herring from the freezer in advance and thaw at room temperature.

Wash the defrosted fish under running water. Remove the gills and sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of salt there (from the total amount). This is necessary to ensure that all the innards of the herring are well salted.

Transfer the fish into a deep glass dish. I used a rectangular cake pan.

For the marinade, combine the sugar and remaining rock salt in a saucepan. Add spices for flavor.

Peel the onion, cut into half-rings, add to the rest of the ingredients.

Pour 1 liter of purified water into the ladle. Stirring to fully dissolve the sugar and salt, bring the marinade to a boil. Turn off the stove, cool the marinade to room temperature.

Pour the cooled spicy marinade over the fish. Note that the liquid should completely cover the herring. Cover the dish with the fish with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap.

Marinate the herring in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, depending on the level of salting you want to achieve.

Remove the ready herring from the brine, separate into fillets, and cut into portions. Garnish the ready spiced herring with onion rings and dill.

Herring can be served as a standalone dish or used to prepare various sandwiches and salads. 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.

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.
