Herring in Oil

Ingredients

• 500 g herring fillets
• 1 cup olive oil
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 tbsp black peppercorns
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the 500g herring fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut each fillet into 2-3 pieces if large.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine 1 cup olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp black peppercorns, and 1 tsp salt. Stir well.

3. 3

   Place the herring pieces in a shallow dish and pour the oil mixture over them. Add 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary and the zest of 1 lemon.

4. 4

   Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

5. 5

   Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Thread the marinated herring pieces onto the skewers, alternating with rosemary leaves.

7. 7

   Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the herring is opaque and lightly charred, about 8 minutes total.

8. 8

   Serve hot or cold, drizzled with a little extra olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
