Creamy mustard herring (sennepssild) – very easy to make, with a pleasantly mild mustard flavour.
The herring is folded into a smooth, creamy dressing flavoured with 3 kinds of mustard, finely chopped shallot and a little sugar, then finished with pickled mustard seeds and fresh herbs.
Like curried herring (karrysild), mustard herring is a good “beginner’s herring”, as the fish comes swimming in dressing – which is exactly how I like it.
Serve your mustard herring on a slice of freshly baked Danish rye bread (rugbrød) and it doesn’t get any better. Perfect for Easter lunch, Whitsun lunch and the Christmas lunch table alike.

Hej. Kan jeg bruge kryddersild til denne opskrift,da jeg ikke har marinerede?
Hej Marianne
Uha det har jeg ikke prøvet, så det må komme an på en prøve:)
Dbh Dianna
Jeg leder efter en meget grov sennep. Hvilken bruger du? Tak
Hej Hanne
Jeg bruger den der hedder Maille à l’Ancienne groft sennep, – det er sådan hele sennepskorn, så det er også smag og behag om man bryder sig om det. Den køber jeg i Kvickly, når du ser mærket tror jeg godt du kender det
Og ellers kan du bare købe den der hedder grov sennep fra Bähncke
Hvis du erstatter med dijon, som der i forvejen også skal i, så tror jeg desværre den bliver fra krads i smagen
Warm wishes, Dianna
Hej. Jeg vil lige høre, om du har et tip til, hvor du køber den gule sennep fra French, du nævner ?
Hej Rikke
Ja den kan jeg altså godt love du bliver afhængig af 😉
Oftest har de den i Føtex, men ellers Meny og Irma har den også – de fleste steder i hvert fald.
Butikken Normal har den faktisk også, oftest i en lidt mindre flaske 🙂
De bedste hilsner
