Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients. To prepare a snack in the form of emerald balls with herring, we will need: herring fillet; boiled potatoes, hard-boiled eggs; mayonnaise, dill, ground black pepper and salt. Pomegranate seeds for decoration.
Step 2:
Pat the herring fillet with paper towels to remove the remaining oil. If a whole herring is used, then separate the fillet from the bones.
Step 3:
Fillet cut into small cubes.
Step 4:
Boil potatoes in the peel until tender. Then cool and clean. Grate the potatoes on a coarse grater.
Step 5:
Boil hard-boiled eggs, cool and peel. Also grate on a coarse grater.
Step 6:
Combine herring, grated potatoes and eggs in a salad bowl. Season with salt, pepper and mayonnaise.
Step 7:
Mix everything well. Put the resulting mass in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Step 8:
Wash the dill, dry it and chop it very finely.
Step 9:
From the cooled herring and vegetable mass to form balls the size of a walnut. If the mass falls apart, then it is better to form balls with wet hands.
Step 10:
Roll the herring balls in chopped dill.
Step 11:
Put the balls on a platter, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve. Bon appetit!
For this snack you need only 3 main ingredients and mayonnaise. But thanks to the shape, crushed greens and pomegranate seeds, the snack turns into a real festive dish that is prepared in a matter of minutes. The main advantage of this dish is its affordability. Potatoes, eggs and mayonnaise are in almost every refrigerator. Just buy a herring - and a wonderful snack is almost ready.
Herring can be replaced with other lightly salted fish. It will be very tasty with red fish.
I have seen variants in which, in addition to the above ingredients, you can add processed cheese (such as Friendship, Amber). You can also use regular cheese instead of processed cheese.
