Our journey through our Amazing Italy with my dear friend
Maria Cristina, Author and Blogger
continues with another of her Venetian recipes.
All that remains for me to do is wish you a good read and, above all, Bon Appetit!
MTDD:
Hello Maria Cristina and welcome back among us. It is always a pleasure to have
you as my guest.
MCB: The
pleasure is mine. Thank you for the invitation.
MTDD:
Maria Cristina, today we will keep talking with you only about cuisine.
What recipe have you prepared for our readers?
MCB:
Today I thought I would present you with Marinated Herring with Onions.
MTDD: That’s
great! The name alone makes my mouth water...
MCB:
Indeed. This is another recipe that is as simple as it is tasty. Once upon a
time, herring was a very poor dish, today it is a gourmet dish.
My father loved to eat it every now and then but every time a different
version of it; he preferred the smoked one perhaps because it reminded him of
the hunger he suffered during the war when a slice of polenta was rubbed on the
surface of the herring to have the illusion of eating it and the fish lasted a
long time before being eaten by the family.
For those who wish to prepare it, the procedure is the following:
Boil and cook the herring in milk and water; drain and dry in a hot oven;
Chop and sauté an onion; add some wine vinegar, let it evaporate and then
turn off the heat;
In a bowl alternate eggs and herring fillets, onion and parsley; cover with
oil and let rest for a few hours;
Serve everything with hot polenta.
MTDD: Thank you, Maria
Cristina. I look forward to seeing you for more interesting and succulent
recipes.
MCB: Thank you for the
invitation. I’ll talk to you soon.
