Mustard herrings poached in apple wine

The following ingredients are enough for one person. Multiply them to 

match the number you are feeding.

1 fresh herring fillet per person

1 sharp-tasting apple, sliced (a Bramley would be good)

1 onion, sliced

Prepared mustard (Dijon is very good with this)

Enough apple wine to cover the rolled herring (dry cider may be used 

instead)

Salt and pepper to taste 

1.Spread mustard on one side of the herring fillet. Season with salt and 

pepper and add a small slice of onion. Roll up the fillet starting from 

the tail end. Secure the roll with a little stick (a cocktail stick will 

do).

2.Place the prepared fillet in a pan and cover with the wine or 

cider.

3.Cook gently, adding the apple slices a few minutes before the 

fish is ready.

4.Carefully remove the apple slices from the pan and 

distribute them equally on a dish. Top the slices with the fillet. 



This dish may be eaten hot or cold. More mustard may be served as a 

sauce.
