Omelet with herring
4 servings
30 minutes
Herring omelette is a simple yet original dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of eggs with the spiciness of salted fish. This omelette was often prepared by fishermen and peasants using available ingredients for a hearty breakfast or dinner. Herring adds a pleasant saltiness and depth to the dish, while added greens refresh it with notes of freshness. It cooks quickly: pieces of herring are lightly fried, then eggs are added and set in an aromatic buttery environment. This is an excellent combination of proteins and healthy fats, making herring omelette not only tasty but also nutritious. It pairs well with black bread and light vegetables, creating a harmonious balance of richness and freshness.
