Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the specified ingredients. The selected herring is preferable to lightly salted, if the fish is saltier, then the amount of butter or cheese will need to be increased. The weight of the fish does not matter much. It is preferable to take home-salted fish for cooking. Pre-boil the carrots until tender and cool. Put the butter in the freezer to make it easier to grate. Processed cheese can be taken of any consistency.
Step 2:
Wash the herring carcass with cold water, dry it. Cut off the head and tail. Cut off the abdomen and remove the insides. Carefully remove the spine and small bones. With a sharp knife, cut the herring fillet into very small pieces. Put the chopped herring in a deep bowl.
Step 3:
Get the butter previously placed in the freezer. Grate the butter on a coarse grater and add it to the chopped fish in a bowl.
Step 4:
Peel the pre-boiled and cooled carrots. Grate the carrots on a medium or fine grater and add them to the previously chopped ingredients in a bowl.
Step 5:
Add the right amount of melted cheese to the bowl. If the cheese is a dense briquette, then it should also be grated on a coarse grater. Mix the mass thoroughly. If it is necessary to taste, then it can be salted, and also add ground black pepper. For my taste, it does not require additional spices.
Step 6:
"Spread " from herring can be served to the table immediately after its preparation. After standing in the refrigerator, it becomes more dense, but it still spreads well on bread. This herring paste is perfect in a duet with toasted black bread. For a more harmonious taste, such sandwiches can be sprinkled with chopped fresh herbs or green onions.
For the preparation of herring paste, you can use other ingredients - boiled egg, mustard, fresh herbs, onions, other boiled vegetables (beets, potatoes). In addition, to reduce the cooking time, such snacks can be prepared using a meat grinder with a large sieve. It is not recommended to use a blender for cooking.
