Pickled smelt

To prepare this culinary recipe, we first prepare the marinade. Pour water into a saucepan and put it on the stove. As soon as the water boils, we throw in salt, sugar, peeled onions, washed and cut into half rings, carrots, also peeled, washed and cut into small cubes. Add pepper and herbs, as well as cloves, cook for 5-6 minutes. We wash the smelt and add it to the marinade. Cook in the marinade for a few minutes, then take them out with a sieve. Before removing the fish, add vinegar to the marinade. The vinegar that drains from the fish is poured back into the marinade. We put the boiled smelt in a clean, steamed jar in rows, alternately put onions, carrots, parsley and smelt. After that, pour the remaining cold vinegar, tie it with a bubble and transfer it to a cold place. We store our pickled smelt in a cold dark place for about 3-4 days. After that, you can use smelt. You can serve it as a salad with the main meal. Bon appetit!
