Matjes season starts right now

June 15th, 2018 | main dishes

“Fischkopp” [head of a fish] is the affectionate name for a North German. For them, Matjes season starts in June. I hardly can imagine anything that tastes more like North Germany: Matjes which means young salted herring. Matjes homestyle with apples we eat for hearty breakfast or we enjoy it as a main meal with fresh potatoes or a thick slice of black bread. How we prepare the matjes at home, you can read here:

The last time we had Apple-Matjes-Bowl for the 18th birthday of our son. For the family party we were 16 people. I can tell you, you need a decent bowl… The best thing about is: you can prepare the whole dish the day before. So beautifully infused it tastes even better.

For all “Non-Fishheads” – it’s as easy as this:

Apple-Matjes-Bowl Captains Approved

(4 portions)

200 g mayonnaise (10% fat)
3 TS sugar
stir
200 g sour apples (eg Topaz)
cut the apple unpeeled into pins or cubes
200 g Spanish onion
peel, dice
1 small glass of pickles, sweet and sour (150 g)
cut into bite-sized pieces
6 Dutch Doppelmatjes (12 young salted herring fillets)
cut into 1.5 cm wide strips
mix all ingredients with the mayonnaise
1 cup of natural yoghurt or cream
if necessary, dilute with yoghurt or cream until the desired consistency is achieved
let the Matjes get infused for several hours, even better overnight

BBQ potatoes

Finally, a side dish that also works on the grill: Salsa Verde Potatoes replace the classic grill companion, the French bread. Anchovies, capers and olives give great flavour, and fresh herbs add the ultimate kick. Whether the pan is on the stove or the grill in the end is irrelevant to the taste.
