spread with mustard and rolled up with a
piece of pickled gherkin or pickled onion in
the middle. A toothpick holds its shape. The
rolled fillets are then transferred to a
preserving jar and topped with a warm
marinade made from vinegar, water,
chopped onion, peppercorns, bay leaves, and
mustard seeds. The rolls are marinated in the
refrigerator for up to five days at which time
they are ready for consumption and can then
be stored in the refrigerator for up to 10
additional days.
