Sous vide herring and egg yolk
Recipe for herring with curry dressing, fried egg yolk, and rye bread
We are all familiar with the sweet marinated herring or the sweet fried herring. We do not believe that herring needs to be sweet to be delicious, so we use a strategy of gastro-salting/cold-curing and sous vide to make it delectable.
