Instructions

1. Prepare all the ingredients for making homemade sprat.

   

2. Defrost capelin, if necessary, peel. Remove the heads and cut the abdomen up to the second fin, clean the entrails of the fish.

4. Strain the tea infusion, add vegetable oil and salt to it, stir until the salt dissolves.
5. Place the fish on the bottom of the multicooker bowl in a neat order, so it will be easier for you to get it out so that the fish remain intact
6. Pour the tea infusion over the fish. Add pepper and bay leaves.
7. Turn the multicooker on to the “Stew” mode and cook the sprats in the multicooker for 2 hours.

   

8. At the end of the time, turn off the multicooker and leave the sprats in the multicooker until they cool completely, only then carefully remove the fish and transfer to a storage container in the refrigerator.
9. Serve homemade sprats on brown bread and butter sandwiches. This is delicious!
