Step 1:

You'll need 4 hard-boiled eggs, a can of cod liver, green onions, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, a little salt, and the tartlet shells.
Step 2:

Finely chop the green onion.
Step 3:

Peel the eggs and set aside two yolks. Finely chop the remaining eggs. Be sure to drain the oil from the cod liver, then mash the liver with a fork.
Step 4:

Put the chopped onion and eggs in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise along with the cod liver oil you drained off, then add a little salt.
Step 5:

Stir the mixture together well and fill the tartlet shells with it.
Step 6:

Make a small well in the center of each and tuck in a piece of cod liver. Garnish the tartlets with a sprig of dill or parsley — whichever you like. You can also roll the mixture into little balls and garnish those with herbs. Enjoy!

While the eggs cook and you prep the other ingredients, here's a little something to chew on about cod liver. It's a popular salad ingredient these days, and for good reason: it's nutritious and delicious, and it's good for both your health and your looks. A few decades ago, recipes like this were favorites across the region. After that, as store shelves filled with all kinds of new products, cod liver salads got crowded out by more exotic dishes and, sadly, were largely forgotten. Now a lot of those once-overlooked recipes — this one included — are coming back around, I think because cod liver is such an unusual ingredient: it lets you turn out not just a salad, but a genuinely impressive dish. You can even skip the mayonnaise, since cod liver is quite rich on its own — but go with whatever suits your taste.
