Step-by-step preparation of a herring roll with onions and melted cheese, a recipe with a photo:
1. The most important point in making a roll is filleting herring. To do this, first remove the film from the carcass. Then cut off the head and tail and rip open the belly. Remove all the insides and remove the black film from the inside of the tummy. Carefully separate the fillets from the ridge and carefully remove all bones, even the smallest and finest ones. Then wash the peeled fillets well under running cold water and dry with a paper towel.
2. Place the fillets on a board with the meat facing up and place the cling film on top.
3. Use a kitchen hammer to beat off the herring fillets.
4. Beat off the fillet of the herring so that it spreads out and over the entire area becomes one thickness of about 0.5 cm. Do not be too zealous with a hammer, so as not to leave a hole on the fish.
5. Grate the processed cheese on a medium grater or mash with a fork.
6. Place the herring fillet on plastic wrap to make it easier to fold the fish later. Apply processed cheese on the fillet in an even layer.
7. Peel the onions, wash under running water and chop into thin strips. Place it on top of the melted cheese. If you wish, you can pre-pickle the onions in table vinegar with sugar.
8. Wash the green onions, dry with a paper towel, finely chop and put on the filling.
9. Using plastic wrap, gently roll the herring into a roll. Wrap the herring roll with onions and cream cheese in the same bag, fix well and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. After this time, remove the film, cut the roll into 1 cm rings and serve on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
