Herring butter classic recipe

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking herring oil. It is best to take lightly salted or spiced herring. The main thing is that it is fresh and not stale, otherwise the oil will not get an appetizing smell. There should be no yellow marks on it, a sure sign of a stale product. Wash the egg, hard-boil it and cool it. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft.

2. Step 2:

   

   Make a fish fillet, remove the skin and all the bones. Try to choose even the smallest bones, because no matter how hard you try to grind, bones can still get caught. And this can lead to sad consequences. This is easy to do with ordinary tweezers. Then cut the herring into pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put soft butter and mustard in the blender bowl. Mustard can be taken any at will. But it depends on what kind of taste the finished oil will have - spicy or spicy. Russian mustard gives sharpness, and grain piquancy. The main thing is to know the measure so that the taste of mustard does not interrupt the taste of fish.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel and chop the egg, add it to a bowl with butter and mustard. The color of the finished butter directly depends on the egg. After all, the brighter the yolk, the yellower the oil will turn out.

6. Step 5:

   

   Add the peeled, chopped herring to the blender bowl. If desired, pour in lemon juice, this slightly smoothes the fishy smell.

7. Step 6:

   

   Punch everything with a blender at medium speed. If you do not punch for a long time, you will come across pieces of herring. If you want a homogeneous oil, then punch a little longer. Taste it and, if necessary, add a little salt, although this is usually not required.

8. Step 7:

   

   Rinse the dill and be sure to dry it thoroughly with a paper towel. After all, the trapped moisture will accelerate the process of spoilage of the product. If you don't like dill, replace it with parsley or any other greens.

9. Step 8:

   

   Such butter can be spread on bread, make sandwiches, supplement them with fresh vegetables or fill tartlets. Enjoy your meal.
