Starting a new thread here...

So you bought some smoked herring thinking of some long-ago nyaming? Come with your recipes


Here's mine (I don't have exact measurements):

<span style="font-weight: bold">Pick Up Herring</span>

Two or three smoked herring
White rum
red onion
scotch bonnet pepper
vinegar

In a cast iron pot, place red herring. Sprinkle white rum. Light with matches. Let burn down a little.

When cool to touch, use fingers to tear or bite size pieces of herring. Chop red onion, pepper. Mix with herring. Add vinegar. Mix well. Put in Pyrex dish covered in refrigerator. Eat next day with XLCR crackers.

1 lb. smoked herring
1 cup white rum
6 allspice berries (pimentos)
½ cup vinegar (white vinegar preferred)
1 Large Red Onion (chopped)
1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper (avoid seeds use only flesh, chopped)
1 stalk scallion
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)
4 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. sugar

Put smoked herring in a flame-proof pan. Sprinkle white run on herrring, light with match. Let burn until skin of herring is dissolved.

Warm the vinegar with the pimento berries and sugar on low heat stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Remove as many bones from the smoked herring as you can and put in blender. Add the chopped onion, oil, pepper, scallion, and thyme to blender. Puree for 1 minute.

Add the rest of the ingredients already in the blender. Puree for another minute. You can make this as “dry” or smoothe by increasing or decreasing the puree time in the blender.

Serve this with XLCR crackers
