Smoked herring barbecue Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Ingredients for 4 servings: 2-4 smoked herring (according to size) 40 grams butter One sprig parsley A few slices sandwich bread Preparation To soften and desalt the herring, cook them in a pot with hot water without bringing it to a boil. Remove from the heat after a couple of minutes and drain them thoroughly. Butter each herring and place them on the barbecue grill (if you're using a gas stove, make sure the flame does not touch the skin, causing harmful burns). Roast the fish very delicately, letting the butter be absorbed and turning them over only once. In the meantime, toast the buttered bread slices cut into triangles. Just before serving, place the herring on a hot serving plate garnished with a parsley sprig on the side. In another dish place the bread triangles covered with a napkin to keep them warm. If you wish to give an Italian touch to this English dish, marinate the herring in olive oil with parsley a few hours before grilling. In this case, exclude the butter. Enjoy!
