Chopped Herring - with hard boiled eggs -recipe please?

Question

I had a great dish of chopped pickled herring with chopped hard boiled eggs some years ago, with a friend with whom I have lost touch.
I pickled some herrings a few days ago, and would really like to make this dish, as it stands out in my memory as something special, that I have never been offered or seen anywhere else.
Can anyone give me a recipe

This hasn't struck a chord with anyone yet.
My friend was of jewish descent and I thought that the american contingent might recognise this.
Salted and pickled herrings were a mainstay of eastern european and scandinavian diets before the advent of refridgeration

Thank you to all of you who also enjoy herrings I cannot chose between you, you have all offered such great recipes, apart from those who are missing a great treat. I will try all the recipes, and hope we get some good votes. Thanks again.

Answer 2

You must be thinking about the German "Hering Salat".
2 Herring - cut into bite size pices
2 German Pickles, chopped
1/4 l soure cream, whipping cream or Creme Fraiche
1 Onion, chopped
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 apples, like Granny Smith, chopped
fresh black pepper
Mayonnaise, Vinegar and Oil = enough to make a sauce
Make a sauce with Soure Cream, Mayonnaise, Vinegar and Oil. Add chopped pickles, onion, eggs, apples, black pepper. Add Herring and refrigerate at least 3 hrs. Serve with boiled potatoes...and of course a German Beer !!!! Guten Appetit

I don't know if you had the same , but in Russia we do it this way:

It is called "Herring In The Fur-Coat"

1. Hard-boil potatoes, peel them, finely chop them, and place them evenly on the bottom of the serving dish. This will be the first layer.

2. Remove all the bones, and finely chop the herring.
Place it on top of the potatoe layer evenly. This will be the second layer.

3. Chop hard-boiled eggs, place them evenly on top of the chopped herring layer in the dish. This will be the third layer.

4. Hard-boil beets, peel, finely chop or even dice ( there is this thing, it's a kitchen tool, I don't know how it's called in English, it looks like a flat metalic board with holes like razors in it), so you kind of like dice the beets on that board, so that they come out in little finely thin layers. Place them evenly on top of the egg layer in the serving dish.

5. Mix mayo with sour cream. Combine them so that you like the taste. You can use just mayo without the sour cream. Cover the beets layer with it. This is the last layer. You can serve it now. But better, let it stay in refrigerator for few hours or overnight.

Some people also add the carrot layer (prepared just like the beets layer). It's usually placed between the egg and the beets layer.

Others also like to add the onion layer. Fresh onions are diced and placed on top of the herring layer.

2 whole herrings
2 slices challah bread or other egg or white bread
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 large mild onion, peeled and cut into quarters
2 hard-boiled eggs

1 Wash herrings under cold water. Remove head, fins, and tail. Split belly and remove entrails. It is not necessary to remove the bones. Rinse inside well. Soak in cold water for 3 to 4 hours, making sure herrings are completely covered with water.
2 Soak bread in vinegar. Set aside.
3 Place herring, onion, hard-boiled eggs, and apple in a food processor and finely grind. Remove bread from vinegar, squeeze dry, and add to herring mixture. Mix in thoroughly. Add pepper and mayonnaise, mixing together well.
4 Serve with crackers.

Answer 5

those in jars i've got confidence you do no longer would desire to cook dinner. I keep in mind my grandmother used to (what she pronounced as) pickle her own herrings sparkling from the sea . i don't have a recipe certainly i did no longer rather take lots notice of what precisely went in there, yet I do keep in mind how she would to place herring fillets well component with the aid of component in a brilliant forged iron pan, conceal them over with a concoction of vinegar, peppercorn, onions and notwithstanding else she put in there. She would then warmth them up no longer for terribly long eliminate them very almost as we communicate onto the component with a lid directly to cool down in the pickle, the place they might stand chilly for particularly a while before they have been waiting to be served.
