Canned herring in a slow cooker or herring in a tomato for the winter at home (with photo)

Seasonings and vegetables give canned food a pleasant aroma, and tomato and mayonnaise make the taste of fish more pleasant and delicate.

When starting to prepare homemade canned fish, you should have:

• fresh herring – 2 kg;
• carrots - 150 gr;
• onion – 150 gr;
• salt – 1 tbsp. false;
• bay leaf – 3-4 pcs.;
• tomato paste – 80 g;
• peppercorns – 10 peas;
• mayonnaise – 2 tbsp. false;
• vegetable oil – 30 ml.

How to cook herring in a slow cooker

You need to separate the heads and tails of the fish and clean out the insides. Clean out more than just the guts themselves. There is a thin black film inside the fish, which also needs to be scraped out with a knife. How to do this - look at the photo.

The cut herring should be washed with cold water, let the water drain a little, salt the fish and coat it with mayonnaise.

Then, peel and chop the vegetables. You can simply chop the onion into half rings, and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

Dilute tomato paste with water. For 40 grams of paste you need to take approximately 300 ml of water.

Pour vegetable oil into a multicooker bowl and add some carrots and onions.

Place the fish on top of the vegetables.

Next, lay the ingredients in layers, alternating vegetables and fish. Place pepper and bay leaf on top and fill the herring with tomato sauce.

Further, canned herring can be prepared in two ways. If you have a multicooker-pressure cooker, then it is better to select the pressure cooking mode and set the time to 60 minutes. You can also prepare homemade canned food in the “Stew” mode, but in this case it will take 180 minutes to cook.

The canned herring prepared in a slow cooker turned out to be very tender, all the bones were softened and you couldn’t taste it, but the fish remained intact and did not fall apart, and the pepper and bay leaf gave a pleasant aroma.

If you place the cooked fish in clean, treated jars and tightly screw the lids on, then the period for safe consumption of such home-canned food is no more than one month. Opened herring in a tomato, in the refrigerator, is stored for no more than 7 days.
