Hekele (Silesian herring salad)

Ingredients:

• 50 dag herring fillets or Dutch
• soused herrings
• 2 eggs
• 1 onion
• 2 Polish pickled cucumbers
• mayonnaise
• cream or yoghurt
• mustard
• peper

Directions:

Soak herring fillets and cut them in pieces. Dice pickled cucumbers, onion and eggs. Mix all ingredients. Make sauce with mayonnaise and cream or yoghurt, adding a little bit of mustard. Season with white pepper and combine with herrings. Hekele tastes better if you leave it in a cool place for about an hour.

This meal was prepared by the POLONIA Hotel restaurant at Racibórz during the 3rd “Silesian Tastes Festival 2008” in Racibórz.
