ARENQUE (HERRINGS) IN TOMATO SAUCE

Arenque Guisado - Recipe & Video (Herrings in Tomato Sauce): a dish that some people love, some hate, there doesn't seem to be a middle point. Where are you on this?

– 2 pound smoked herring, [0.91 kg] – 1 small red onion, sliced – 2 bell pepper, cut into strips – 4 plum tomato, cut into eights, (or 1 doz. cherry peppers halved) – 2 tablespoon vegetable oil – 1 cup tomato sauce – 1 teaspoon salt, (or more, to taste) Garnish – minced cilantro, or parsley (optional)

Ingredients:

Soaking herring:

Soak herring in a galon [4 lt] of water for half an hour. Remove from the water and discard the water.

Boil herring:

Place herring in a pot with half a gallon [2 lt] of clean water and boil over medium-low heat till it starts flaking (15-20 mins). Remove from the water and cool to room temperature. Discard water.

Prep herring:

Flake the herrings, cleaning from bones and skin. Set aside.

Cook herring:

Heat the oil over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, peppers, and tomatoes until cooked-through (about 5 mins). Stir in herrings, ½ cup of water and tomato sauce. Season with salt to taste. Simmer until everything is heated through.

Serving:

Serve hot and garnish with cilantro. My favorite sides are arroz blanco and boiled yuca. Some slices of avocado go great with it too.
