Classic herring forshmak

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic mincemeat from herring? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Take the herring immediately, boneless fillet. But if you want, you can take a whole herring and remove the bones yourself. Boil the eggs in advance, cool and peel them. Take onions that are not very large. The longer the prepared mincemeat sits, the more aromatic the onion will be.

2. STEP 2

   

   Fill the loaf slices completely with cold water so that they are well soaked. Peel the apple, cut into four parts and remove the core. Peel the onion and rinse in cold water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the herring and peeled apple into a stationary blender.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add drained bread, onion and eggs. Close the blender with the lid.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grind everything until smooth. The consistency of the mincemeat can be adjusted by adding oil from the herring. For chopping, you can use a meat grinder or chop everything very finely with a knife. But in a blender the grinding process happens much faster.

6. STEP 6

   

   Classic herring pate is ready! If desired, you can mix in a little soft butter. Forshmak can be used immediately or stored for several days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Spread it on slices of black bread, garnish with herbs and serve as a snack. Bon appetit!

I tried forshmak once at a party. I remember I really liked him. I decided to make the same one at home, but then somehow in the hustle and bustle I forgot. And now, having found a recipe for classic mincemeat made from herring, I decided to make it. I used the herring in oil, cut into pieces. I also had a small tin of herring in wine sauce, which I also decided to add to the mincemeat. I had small apples, I took two. The process of preparing mincemeat is very simple, and the result is nothing but pleasing. It turned out very tasty. Bright rich taste and aroma, pleasant delicate consistency. Forshmak goes perfectly with a piece of black bread. Yulia, thank you very much for the recipe!
