- herring - 1 pc. (400 g);
- rye bread - 12 slices;
- butter - 100 g;
- coriander seeds - ½ tbsp.;
- greens - a few sprigs.
Preparation
- Prepare the products for making the herring appetizer for the festive table.
- Prepare the herring for the appetizer. Cut off the head and make an incision along the belly of the fish. Remove the innards and the black skin from the inner walls of the herring’s belly. Rinse thoroughly with cold water inside the belly. Make a cut along the back of the herring, separating the body into two halves. Then remove the backbone with the rib bones and also take off the skin. Feel the fillet with your fingers and remove any remaining bones if possible.
- Cut both fillets of herring into pieces.
- Wash the dill or parsley greens.
- Finely chop the greens and add them to the butter. It is desirable for the butter to be at room temperature. This way it will be easier to work with.
- Add crushed coriander seeds to the butter with greens, and mix.
- Spread the prepared butter mixture in a thin layer on small pieces of rye bread.
- Now take a sweet and sour apple. Wash it, remove the seeds. Cut the apple into wedges. If the apple’s skin is not tough, it is not necessary to peel it.
- To prevent the apple slices from browning, sprinkle them with lemon juice.
- On each piece of black bread with butter, place a piece of herring and a slice of apple. If desired, top the piece of herring with crushed coriander seeds. Arrange the herring sandwiches on a flat plate, garnished with greens.
Herring appetizer for the festive table is ready. Enjoy your meal.
