Salted Herring with Creamy Onion and Apple Salad
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Herring tastes best fresh on the table, but it can also convince as a matje. The meat is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Specifically, these are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are abundant in matje herring. Although the meat of sea creatures is very rich in fat, it is indispensable for our body. So every fat calorie is worth it!
Matjes or Bismarck - what is the difference? Matjes are processed herrings that are matured in a brine. Bismarck herrings, on the other hand, are marinated in an acidic marinade of vinegar, oil, onions, mustard and bay leaves.
