First of all, we fillet salted herring, removing everything unnecessary from the pieces - the head, entrails and bones. Then carefully remove the skin from the fish so as not to damage the surface of the loin parts and leave them whole.
We put fish fillets on a board lined with cling film for convenience. We combine the abdominal parts of both sirloin parts and put them overlapping. Cover the top of the fillet with the same piece of cling film.
We take a kitchen hammer for chops and with the side with small tubercles (usually it is intended for tender meat, such as chicken), we begin to lightly beat the herring in wide parts. Our task is to beat the fillet so that a more or less uniform layer is obtained over the entire surface. To prevent the cling film from tearing, you can cover the top of the herring with a cotton towel.
When our fillet is leveled, we roll out the melted cheese or spread it with a fork if it is too soft for you. By the way, instead of processed, you can take cottage cheese or cream cheese.
On a layer of processed cheese lay out finely chopped pickled or pickled cucumber.
Sprinkle the cucumber with the same size cubes of sweet pepper and finely chopped herbs. Do not overdo it with the amount of cheese, cucumber and pepper, otherwise it will be difficult to wrap such a “plump” roll properly later.
We wrap the herring roll, helping ourselves with cling film. Try to wrap as tight as you can. Wrap the fish "sausage" by analogy with sweets from both ends and transfer to the freezer for 2-3 hours no more.
While the herring roll is cooling, cut out circles from thin slices of rye or wheat-rye bread with a glass of a suitable size.
Herring roll with melted cheese and cucumber is a great option appetizing snack, which will not take much time and effort. This appetizer can be prepared with different fillings, lovers of experimenting in the kitchen will definitely like it!
Suitable as a filling bell pepper, pickled mushrooms, olives, capers, pickled red onions, chopped omelet with greens or Korean carrots. Instead of vegetables, you can take seafood, such as squid or mussels.

How to cook herring roll with melted cheese and cucumber
To prepare the roll, you need to take a large herring, it is desirable that it be lightly salted. If you got salty fish, hold it in milk for 30 minutes. This must be done when the herring is already deboned. Don't forget to blot the fish with paper towels afterwards.
First, cut off the head of the herring, open the abdomen from below and remove all the insides.
Lay cling film on the work surface. Open the herring and cut out the ridge, using tongs, remove all the bones.
Remove the skin from the herring and put the fillet halves back on the film. Cover the top of the fish and beat lightly with the back of the mallet to even out the surface of the herring.
Open the film and brush the herring fillet with melted cheese. If you use processed cheese, which has a pasty consistency, I recommend that after twisting, send the roll to the freezer for 3-4 hours.
If you take processed cheese in a briquette, before preparing the roll, hold it for 15 minutes in the freezer so that it is easier to rub. To impregnate a roll with such cheese, put it in the refrigerator, its consistency is elastic, without freezing.
Cut fresh or pickled cucumber into plates, put on the cheese layer.
Roll the roll like rolls with a film, tie the ends tightly with food thread.
With a sharpened knife, cut the herring roll with cheese and cucumber into portions for serving.
This appetizer is served cold, you can pre-cool the roll in the refrigerator, and then cut it.
Beautifully lay out the finished herring rolls on a flat plate. You can first place dried pieces of dark bread on a plate, and place rolls on them. The second option is convenient for a buffet table. Decorate your plate with ready meal pomegranate seeds, black cumin and dill.
Cooking Tips:
- Instead of herring, you can use mackerel or horse mackerel.
- Greens, fried or pickled mushrooms can be added to processed cheese. Instead of fused cheese will do cream or cottage cheese.

3. Put the herring on the board and cover it with cling film. Beat it with a kitchen hammer so that it is of uniform thickness on all sides.
