Cooking

For these balls I used herring in wine sauce. It is possible to buy ready-made, and can be done. The wine bring to boil vinegar, sugar, cloves, Bay leaf, pepper and mustard. Onions cut into rings and simmer in wine 5 minutes. Herring fillet cut and put in the cooled marinade. Leave the ingredients in an enamel saucepan or in a glass jar for 1-2 days. For balls we need the rice round and I took the Kuban.

Into a suitable dish, pour balsamic vinegar (the vinegar) and put the sugar and salt. Put on the fire heated a little and dissolve the salt and sugar.

Rice cook until tender and allow to infuse for 10 minutes under a towel or gauze. Pieces of herring cut into small pieces that will fit inside of the ball. White sesame seeds are mixed with black. You can take any one form.

In the cooled rice pour a little balsamic vinegar with sugar and salt. Stir.

Shape the meatballs. Whether forming a food film. I sometimes use gloves as pictured.

Formed balls, coat in sesame seeds. The balls spread on a plate and refrigerate to harden. Of this amount, rice 9-piece balls, the size of a little more than a large walnut.

Rice balls served chilled with soy sauce. As a festive alternative, I made balls as Christmas balls. Cut black olives, pitted and one piece laid on top of the ball, forming a "suspension" and put in thin strips of onion. Green onion made a "tree" and that it was quite a new year's eve, scattered pomegranate seeds.
