The book gives the peel of half a lemon; it gives no other amounts.

Method

6 soļi
  1. Soak the herring in cold water, changing it now and then: 3–12 hours for hard-salted herring, 30 minutes for mild fillets. Taste a little to check (our addition).
  2. Take out the milt and keep it. Pull off the skin and lift the flesh off the bones.
  3. Chop the herring with the butter and onion as finely as you can, with a knife or in a food processor, to a paste.
  4. Mash the milt with the vinegar, or push it through a sieve and then mix in the vinegar.
  5. Put the herring paste, milt, stock and lemon peel in a saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Take out the lemon peel.
  6. Thicken with the bread: stir it in and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking, until smooth. Or take the pan off the heat, whisk the yolks with a ladle of the hot sauce, stir them in and heat gently, stirring hard, until the sauce thickens (about 80 °C); don't let it boil. Don't add salt.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book takes a male herring, pulls off the skin and chops the flesh very fine with butter and onions or shallots, rubs the milt with a little wine vinegar and adds it, boils it all with strong beef broth and the peel of half a lemon, which is taken out again later, and thickens it with enough soft wheat bread, or beats it hard with egg yolks. Soaking the herring, the amounts and the times are ours.

Serving

the book doesn't say; it says only that this sauce is stronger than the anchovy sauce (05-020). It suits boiled beef and fish.

Herring

the book's herring was salted; a male (tēviņš) is chosen for its milt. Whole salted herring with milt is sold in Baltic and Nordic shops. Without milt the sauce still works; add a little more butter.
