Instructions
Soak the herring fillets in enough cold water to cover for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator, replacing the water two or three times.
12 large salt herring fillets
Combine the vinegar, water, juniper berries, allspice, cloves, peppercorns and bay leaf in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
2 cups cider vinegar,
2 cups cold water,
5 whole juniper berries,
5 whole ground allspice,
3 whole cloves,
8 whole black peppercorns,
1 leaf bay
Simmer for 5 minutes, then allow to come to room temperature.
Drain and pat the herring fillets dry, and lay them skin-side down on a work surface.
Spread a teaspoon (5 ml) of mustard over each one, then scatter the capers and onion over the mustard.
1/4 cup Dijon mustard,
1/4 cup capers,
1 medium onion
Cut the dill pickles lengthwise into quarters, and then in half crosswise.
2 large dill pickles
Place a wedge of pickle at the narrow end of each fillet and roll the fillets up into small, thick cylinders.
Secure the rolled fillets with one or two toothpicks.
Pack the rolled fillets on their sides in a glass dish in one or two layers-do not use a metal container.
Pour the marinade over the herring, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 5 to 6 days before serving.
To serve, arrange them on a platter or on individual serving plates and garnish with onion rings and parsley.
