I can't say that we like herrings the most out of all sweet things, because we like great desserts, yummy cakes and ice creams. But most people love herrings. Only my son is an exception. We like all dishes with herrings: herrings in oil, in vinegar, fried, with onion, plums and cream sauce. Our last hit was a lightly seasoned herring sandwich with crunchy vegetables in a fresh roll.

Today I would like to share with you the recipe for herrings in a mustard sauce. Maybe somebody will be interested and will make it for Christmas Eve supper. Prepare this dish the day before, because you should leave it to rest in the fridge before serving. However, it tastes excellent if you eat it immediately after preparing it.

Ingredients:
400g of herring pieces
3 tablespoons of French mustard
3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of 18% cream
3 tablespoons of maple syrup
half an onion
half a chili pepper

Rinse the herrings and soak them in milk for 2-3 hours. Drain and cut into 2-cm pieces.
Dice the onion and chili pepper. Mix together both kinds of mustard, the maple syrup, mayonnaise and cream. Add the onion and chili pepper and stir again. Add the herrings and stir gently so as to cover the pieces with the sauce. Leave in the fridge for the whole night.

Enjoy your meal!
