The New Year is just around the corner, so it's time to think about a festive menu. Do not forget that the symbol of 2017 is the Red Fire Rooster, so you must refrain from dishes with poultry meat. Unusual, but very simple appetizer with herring is what you need for the New Year's menu!
- 200 grams of salted herring (fillet)
- black bread
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- greens: onion, dill
- some mayonnaise
- vegetable oil for greasing the pan
1. Black bread should be cut into portions (it is best that their size is slightly larger than a matchbox).
2. Slightly fry the pieces of bread in a greased skillet (fry on one side only).
3. Peel and grate boiled eggs.
4. Mix crushed eggs with a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise. You can also add some finely chopped fresh dill to this mixture.
5. Cut herring fillet into pieces, which will be about 1.5-2 times smaller than pieces of bread.
6. Spread a layer of egg-mayonnaise mixture on cooled pieces of toasted bread.
7. Put a piece of herring fillet on top.
8. Sprinkle slices of fresh green onions over the sandwiches.
This New Year's snack is simple and very close to the Russian people. It is also worth noting that the Fire Rooster is a proud bird, but a country one, so he likes it when there is simple, hearty and tasty food on the table.
