Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 It was midsummer eve here yesterday, so we had the traditional midsummer dinner: pickled herring (matjes, to be exact, nothing else will do for midsummer...), new potatoes boiled with dill, and with that sour cream and chives. For dessert strawberries and vanilla ice cream. We'll make a nice brunch out if the leftovers today.Your dinner sounds great too, homemade meatballs are the best!love/Reb****Well...another relatively quiet day here...Thought I'd share what I'm having for supper, and curious as toeveryone's menus for tonight.I made, for the first time ever, homemade turkey/beef meatballs,and the water is on right now for the 'sghetti.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I've never had pickled herring, Reb. It must be good. You haveit cold, yes? Must be nice and cooling. Do you keep the skinon the new potatoes? I usually keep the skins on even formashed potatoes, which some people refer to as 'dirtypotatoes'.Leftovers are always nice, and sometimes taste even betterthe second time 'round.love to you and ,Kate what's for dinner?To: MSersLife > It was midsummer eve here yesterday, so we had the traditional > midsummer dinner: > pickled herring (matjes, to be exact, nothing else will do for > midsummer...), new potatoes boiled with dill, and with that sour > cream and chives.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Yes, it's served cold, and is refreshingly salty (and spicey). The matjes variety is spiced with cinnamon, allspice, clove, and usually sandalwood. It exists in a continental European variety as well, especially in Germany and the Netherlands, but that is less spicey. I tried it once when I was in Germany, but was disappointed with the taste, too little spices in my opinion.And, yes, I always keep the skin on new potatoes!Tonight we'll have barbecue, and bake new potatoes in the oven with dill, salt and cream. love/Reb what's for dinner?To: MSersLife > It was midsummer eve here yesterday, so we had the traditional > midsummer dinner: > pickled herring (matjes, to be exact, nothing else will do for > midsummer...), new potatoes boiled with dill, and with that sour > cream and chives.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 My Dad used to buy pickled herring. It's good but different. My Dad was a food adventurer!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 It's easy :-) PICKLED FISH (from Fran) (My Aunt) 2 C. vinegar 2 C. water Salt to taste (heavy) 20 peppercorns 18 whole allspice 5 bay leaves, broken 4 slices onion 4 slices lemon Cool all but the lemon 1/2 hour. Add lemon and cook 5 minutes longer. Take lemon slices out of brine. Cut fish into pieces. Gently cook in brine until done (5-10 minutes). Pack into jar or glass bowl - refrigerate for 2 to 3 days before eating. PICKLED FISH (Mom) 1 Tbs. Pickling Spice 1 T. sugar (or MORE) Onion, 4 slices 2 c. vinegar 2 c. water salt Cook brine for 20 minutes then add chunks of fish and cook until done. Refrigerate in glass jar or bowl for a couple days before eating. (This recipe is best for softer fish - I was NOT pleased with pickled COD. Too firm!) Mom's recipe tastes most-like purchased pickled herring... the pickling spices do it. Also, no need to debone fish as the vinegar will soften them just like those of herring. I used to use this one, especially, for pickling northern pike. They're so bony, and no need to worry about that when pickled. And, actually, I like this taste best. what's for dinner?To: MSersLife > It was midsummer eve here yesterday, so we had the traditional > midsummer dinner: > pickled herring (matjes, to be exact, nothing else will do for > midsummer...), new potatoes boiled with dill, and with that sour > cream and chives.
