• 1 long cucumber
• 2 limes
• 3 cm fresh ginger root
• 1 green apple

Cooking

Step 1

Soak the herring in milk for 6–10 hours, dry, cut each fillet into 3 equal parts.

Step 2

Bake sweet peppers under a hot grill until black marks on all sides, put in a plastic bag, twist and leave for 15 minutes, then peel and seeds, cut into strips.

Step 3

Peel and grate the ginger, add a little grated zest and all the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Peel the apple from the peel and core, cut 8 sticks from the pulp. Cut 8 thick circles from the cucumber. Place apples and cucumbers in lime marinade for 30 minutes. Then take it out and dry it a little.
