You may or may not know what this dish is but if you are Swedish or have ever lived in Sweden you know that this is a very traditional dish on the Swedish “Smรถrgรฅsbord”. It’s eaten at all big holidays, Christmas, Easter, Midsummer, you name it! This Vegan Senapssill (Vegan Herring in Mustard Sauce) is our vegan take on the classic Swedish mustard herring and, in our humble opinion, it’s so much better than all of those recipes made with aubergines (you can find plenty online of those!). You need to give it a try, you’ll love it! So easy, quick, and absolutely delicious! 100% gluten-free too!

It’s also made in just 5 minutes and has 8 ingredients only. Just combine the ingredients together, cover with a lid, and refrigerate overnight. DONE. The next day you can enjoy it!
