Pickled herring recipe with curry, apple and dates

16/08/2018 by Julie Karla 3 Comments

This pickled herring recipe with curry mayonaise, apple and dates might sound like a bit weird combination for you but in Denmark it’s pretty normal to eat pickled herring with a curry sauce. It’s simply made by mixing a good mayonaise and creme fraiche with curry powder, salt and pepper.Pickled herring recipe from Denmark

It’s a salad!

The little bit unusual thing about my recipe is that I made a salad with the pickled herring instead of traditionally putting the herring on top of a slice of rye bread. You know, what we here in Denmark call Smørrebrød.

I’m topping my salad with small pieces of apple, chopped dates and lots of fresh chives. The curry sauce is so good together with theese three ingredients. Not to talk about the sauce together with the heering. That’s really good. I would still though serve this salad together with some wholegrain bread, rye bread if you can get a hold of it, or otherwise just something similar.

It’s the perfect lunch dish for when you have friends or family over. I often serve this dish for holidays, like Christmas and Easter and everyone I know that likes herring, digs this. Thankfully ; )

    This recipe looks very beautiful and I would love to try it. I live in New Zealand and have very little access except in jars, will this work for your recipe? Thank you for your inspiration Anne.
