Directions

Put the salted herrings into water overnight. Dab the herrings dry the next day and remove the bones. Cut the pickled gherkins and the onion into fine slices. Coat the inside of the fish fillet with mustard, add the gherkin and onion slices as well as the capers and then roll up the herring and fix the rolls with a toothpick.

Pour the vinegar and white wine into a saucepan, add bay leaves, cloves and peppercorns, bring everything to the boil and steep for 10 minutes. Place the rollmops in a lockable bowl (jar), cover with the onion rings and pour the chilled stock over them. Leave the rollmops to steep for at least three days.

Serve open or rolled up as you prefer
