Herring in tomato sauce

This is another way of preparing herring from the Poznan region of Poland. This is Ewa Mahey's recipe.

You will need:-
1 large packet of fillets of Herring in oil
1 can of plum tomatoes
3-4 onions
1-2 bay leaves
4-5 whole cloves
salt, pepper, sugar
oil (for frying onions)

Strain herring fillets through the sieve and rinse with cold water individually.

Fry diced onions in oil with salt and bay leaves until transparent, and add sieved tomatoes, cloves, season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar and simmer for approximately 5 minutes mixing frequently.  Cool down.

Cut the herring into bite sized pieces, pour over with sauce and mix gently.  Leave to stand in fridge for approximately 1 hour before serving.  Store in a jar in the fridge.
