Economical and Easy to Make: The Recipe for Homemade Rollmops.
Do you like rollmops? So better to make them yourself!
It's so much better and so easy to do!
I know that because my grandmother gave me her express recipe for homemade rollmops.
A delight ! Did you know that this is a great classic in vinegar cooking?
Usually it takes 3 days of marinating to get pickled herring.
They become the famous rollmops (meaning "roll them up") when they are rolled up on themselves. But this is not a necessary step.
Here is a very easy and quick family recipe to make, just as we like them at home. Look :
How to do
1. Choose about 20 very fresh and very shiny herrings.
2. Ask your fishmonger to prepare them in fillets. Have it cut off its head, tail and fins and remove the bones.
3. Place your clean, well-washed and wiped-dry fillets in an oven dish, one next to the other.
4. In a saucepan, heat 20 cl of white wine.
5. Add 20 cl of wine vinegar to the saucepan.
6. Add a finely chopped onion and carrot.
7. Add thin slices of organic lemon.
8. Add a bunch of chopped fresh parsley.
9. Add a sprig of thyme, a sprig of tarragon and two bay leaves with sauce.
10. Boil the whole thing for 10 min: the marinade should make small bubbles.
11. Pour this boiling marinade over the fish fillets in the oven dish.
12. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil and let cool.
13. Put in the fridge for 24 hours.
Results
And there you have it, your homemade rollmops are already ready to be tasted :-)
In less than 1/4 of an hour (not counting the cooling time), you get much better rollmops than any commercial rollmops!
They are thus easily stored for 1 week in the fridge, with their marinade.
These rollmops prepared with fresh products are a delight, but the little extra, is that they are really economical.
These homemade rollmops are much cheaper than those bought in the store.
Bonus tip
To ensure that your fishmonger has time to prepare the herring fillets for you, avoid going there on a Friday morning or Saturday.
This is where it is most crowded. It is better that your fishmonger has more time to prepare them quietly.
