Herring in mustard sauce
Poles love herring and there is no doubt that this fish is a popular snack at parties and all kinds of social gatherings. You can choose from salted herring, herring in vinegar brine and herring marinated in oil. In stores, you can also find ready-made herring dishes with various sauces or a range of different additions. My favourites include herring in oil and this is the herring I reach for most often. I like to eat it on its own without any additions, or use it as a base for salads, and rolls or combine it with additions such as onion, cranberries, tomato sauce and many others.
Herring in mustard sauce is one of those fish dishes in which I use marinated herring in oil. Preparing this herring is not only quick but also very easy. You can make it just before your guests arrive and eat it almost immediately. In addition to fish, I also add vegetables, which, in this case, are onions, and I combine the whole thing with a sauce based on grainy mustard, mayonnaise, and sour cream. I encourage you to check the following recipe for quick herring in mustard sauce and please enjoy.
