Speaker A

Friends, today we are going to make some gorgeous homemade herring. You won't buy anything like this in a store. Hello, my priceless subscribers and dear viewers. Lately, I've noticed in the comments you often ask: "Martik, show us your recipe, how do you salt

00:21

Speaker A

and marinate herring at home?" So today, I decided to share my homemade recipe with you. Here is the recipe, friends.

00:30

Speaker A

It is simply incomparable. The kind that will truly have you licking your fingers when you eat it. Alla, show them what I’ve got today. Look, friends, here I have three fresh-frozen herring. I defrosted them and cleaned out the innards. Everything is now

00:47

Speaker A

clean and prepared for marinating. There are three fish here. Everything is cleaned, washed, and dried. The main thing is, now we will head to the stove to prepare the marinade. What will it be marinated in? Here is the marinade.

01:03

Speaker A

Let’s head to the stove, friends. We’ll prepare the marinade using half a liter of water. So, we take regular water at room temperature and pour it into a pot. Now, we add two tablespoons of table salt. And a slightly less than

01:24

Speaker A

full tablespoon of sugar. Next, five tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Five tablespoons, friends, of apple cider vinegar.

01:37

Speaker A

Six per- Six percent. Okay, three tablespoons of refined oil. Okay, two bay leaves and half a teaspoon.

01:52

Speaker A

Well, here, I don't know, 40-50 black peppercorns. Just a moment. And we’ll also add here, look, a handful of chopped onion. I forgot about it. I have two onions here. One went into the marinade. I’ll show you what the rest

02:09

Speaker A

is for. So, where is my spatula? Now we stir it all together. Good. That’s it, mixed. So, turn on the stove, cover with the lid, and bring to a boil. In the meantime, I’ll show you what I’m doing. Friends, while the

02:31

Speaker A

marinade is boiling, we’ll start packing our little bucket. I chose a small bucket as a container. If someone has a plastic container, you can use that or a liter jar. Use whatever is convenient for you. This little bucket

02:45

Speaker A

is very convenient. We put a little bit of onion at the bottom and start packing. Look, take the pieces and lay them tightly against each other at the bottom of the bucket. Like this.

02:58

Speaker A

Standing up, not lying down, friends, but standing up. Just like that. See? Look, here is what it looks like. Can you see? Alla? Show them.

03:10

Speaker A

Okay. Laid out like this. Look. And again, just a little. Well, one more. You can even pack it tight so more fits. That’s down at the bottom. Now we add a little more onion again. Where there are gaps, you can add more onion

03:26

Speaker A

slices in there. Don’t skimp on the onion, it gives a very pleasant flavor, friends. That’s the first layer done.

03:36

Speaker A

Packing further. Once again, take it and carefully arrange it like a flower, friends, in a bucket or a jar. As I said, fill it however it is convenient for you. Look, see how beautiful it turns out. There, it’s filled. Now

03:53

Speaker A

for the onion again. Why do I say two onions? One goes into the marinade to boil with it, and the other goes in here simply fresh. Fill the bucket like this. And tuck the onion slices into the gaps. And put those top ends on the

04:15

Speaker A

surface like this. Look at what a beauty we’ve made. Palochka, could you maybe show it from the side? Can you see it well?

04:28

Speaker A

Look here, friends, it turns out gorgeous, the recipe is just amazing, friends. Make it once with some hot potatoes. It turns out just like this. That’s it, the bucket is filled. We are waiting for our marinade to boil. Friends, look, this

04:50

Speaker A

recipe is so fast. While I was arranging the fish, the marinade is already boiling. Look. It’s boiling full steam. That’s it, stirred. Done.

04:59

Speaker A

Okay, carefully. Okay, boiling water. Close the lid. Let’s time it for exactly 5 minutes, friends. Exactly 5 minutes. Let them boil, spin, marry, and make friends. All the aromas are being released. Friends, we will continue in exactly 5 minutes. So,

05:17

Speaker A

friends, exactly 5 minutes have passed. Look, it’s boiling completely. Wow, what an aroma you can already smell.

05:23

Speaker A

Good. So pleasant. That’s it, turn off the stove, friends. Turned off the stove, close the lid, and let the marinade cool down completely. We need a cold marinade. So, friends, look.

05:39

Speaker A

When you turn off the stove, let the onion and the marinade cool down together. My pot has already cooled down completely. I took out all the onions. We don't need the boiled onions in the marinade anymore. That’s it.

05:55

Speaker A

Move the onions aside. Catch these bay leaves. Now add them on top. Put them in here. Okay. Placed them. Moving this away so it doesn't get in my way. Okay.

06:11

Speaker A

And now with the cold marinade. Friends, I don't think I need to explain why it should be cold. So that our fish doesn't get cooked. The marinade must be completely cooled. Look. Poured it into the bucket completely. A little

06:30

Speaker A

more. Like this. Carefully sprinkle these peppercorns on top as well. Place them into the jar as much as possible.

06:42

Speaker A

Try to catch them. Just like this. Distribute them in the buckets like this. There. All set. Okay. Now close the lid, friends. Look, why these buckets are so convenient. They come with their own factory lid. There, closed. It turned out quite tight here,

07:04

Speaker A

but that's okay. At least it will marinate as it should, friends. Yes. So, in its cold state, fully closed, we send it to the refrigerator for one day, exactly 24 hours. Tomorrow, my friends, we’ll be tasting this

07:20

Speaker A

delicious treat together. This is the kind of fish we get. Herring to go with some potatoes. It’s really something else.

07:28

Speaker A

We’re putting it in the fridge, right? Sending it to the fridge just like this. We’ll see you all tomorrow.

07:35

Speaker A

Hello, friends. It’s the next day already. A little over a day has passed. Let’s do a taste test. Do you think the potatoes are ready? Let’s take out the herring, friends, the one we marinated, salted, or whatever you want

07:51

Speaker A

to call it, together. So, let’s remove the bay leaves. Okay. Oh, it smells so good already.

08:00

Speaker A

The aroma has already filled the air. So, look, Alla, show them. Look at how the bucket looks. By the way, I’m using a one-liter container. Three fish fit perfectly into a one-liter bucket.

08:14

Speaker A

This amount has already been tested. So, I’m taking out one tail piece to show you. Alla will show you how everything looks, while I take out a nice piece from the bottom. What? We need to show the full result. By the

08:31

Speaker A

way, this onion is also very, very tasty, friends. Crunchy and infused with the fish marinade. Let me take this out too, so it doesn't get in the way, so I can get a nice, larger piece from the bottom.

08:51

Speaker A

The one in the middle, right? Yes, from the middle, friends, look. Homemade, real herring, friends, made with my own hands. I’ll take out one more. Look at what a gorgeous piece of herring you get when you make it

09:11

Speaker A

yourself. And if you try making it this way at least once, it’s just so gorgeous and delicious. Look. So, here we go. What do we need to do? We make a cut along the top. Okay, the cut is

09:28

Speaker A

made. And carefully peel off the fish skin. It comes off so easily that it doesn’t take much effort. There. Well, are some of you drooling already?

09:44

Speaker A
