Sill, also known as pickled herring, is a standard ingredient in Swedish homes. An intense whack of salty, sweet, fishy flavour, there’s no denying its unique taste. For this reason it pairs well with ingredients that can knock back its intensity – crispbread, potatoes and egg, for example. In this röra, a Swedish word for a seafood mixture, the jerusalem artichoke, along with the acidity from the lemon zest and pomegranates, helps to soften the herring’s intensity well. Roasting a whole celeriac mellows its flavour and gives it an additional, beautiful sweetness, while the buckwheat groats get a pleasant kick from the sriracha chilli sauce.
