When fresh herring can be obtained, it can be made into a
delicious dish by stewing it with onions, parsley, and carrots.
In this method of preparation, the herring should not be
permitted to stew rapidly; it will become more tender if
it simmers gently. As herring are rather small fish, weighing
only about 1/2 pound, it will usually be necessary to obtain
more than one for a meal.
Clean the required number of fresh herring, place them in a
saucepan, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Brown
some slices of onion in butter, and add the same number of
slices of carrots and a generous quantity of parsley.
Add enough boiling water to these vegetables to cover
them and the fish, and pour both over the fish. Place all on
the fire and simmer gently until the fish is tender.
Remove the fish from the water and serve.
The vegetables are used merely to add flavor, and they will
have practically boiled away by the time the fish is cooked.
