Ingredients
- 8 pieces Pickled herring fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Capers
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 medium Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.25 cup White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings, then finely chop the dill pickles into small strips.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and granulated sugar to create a tangy dressing.
Step 3
Lay out each pickled herring fillet flat onto a clean cutting board, skin-side down.
Step 4
Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the dressing onto each herring fillet.
Step 5
Place a small portion of red onion rings, a few capers, and pickle strips near the wider end of each fillet. Sprinkle a pinch of fresh dill on top.
Step 6
Carefully roll the herring fillet starting from the wider end, enclosing the filling inside. Secure each roll with a toothpick to hold it in place.
Step 7
Repeat this process with all the herring fillets.
Step 8
Arrange the rollmops on a serving plate and garnish with additional fresh dill or capers, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy chilled!
