Ingredients

2 packs herring fillet (s), shrink-wrapped (in oil)
3 large onion (s)
1 cup sweet cream
500 g buttermilk
1 pinch (s) pepper, from the mill

Instructions

First peel the onions and cut them into slices for onion rings, then take the matjes fillet out of the packaging and dab a little with kitchen paper.
Layer the onion rings and the herring fillets alternately in a bowl with a lid. Then pour all the buttermilk over it and also the cup of cream. Carefully mix the two liquids with a fork. Finally, pour pepper from the mill over the whole liquid. Don`t stir anymore! Put the lid on and in the fridge until the next lunchtime.
It is best to serve with new jacket potatoes.
