How to cook with a photo step by step

Boil an egg and a carrot in advance (1 each). While they are cooking, soak a spoonful of gelatin in seven tablespoons of cold boiled water.




While the gelatin swells, cut the herring. Cut off the head and tail, open the belly, take out the insides. Cut the skin on both sides along the spine of the herring. Starting from the head, hook the skin and pull it off first from one side, then from the other. Cut the fillets off the bones with a thin knife. Take out the remaining small bones with tweezers, because it will be unpleasant to stumble upon a bone in a finished snack. You got two pieces of herring fillet.
Cut the cucumber into several thin slices. Cut half a sweet pepper into small squares. Chop parsley and dill.

In the spring, when you want to cook something special for the holiday, you can build an appetizer from the three most popular ingredients that resembles a bouquet of the first spring flowers. Our favorite salted herring will play the main role, and cheese and egg layers will very organically frame it. Be sure to use green onions! It is softer and more delicate in taste than onion, and in combination with cheese it will only win. Decoration of appetizers in floral style - as befits culinary specialists who celebrate the most wonderful time of the year!

Original appetizer of herring with egg and cheese

Ingredients:

Cooking time: about 35 minutes
Servings: 2

Herring appetizer recipe with photo:

• For a herring snack, we need hard-boiled eggs. Boil them for no more than 7-9 minutes so that the yolk does not turn blue from being in boiling water for a long time, as it will come in handy for decoration in a bright yellow hue. Try to cool the boiled eggs according to all the rules so that the shell can be removed entirely without damaging the protein. We also need the protein from one boiled egg to be even and beautiful for decorating and creating a flower arrangement at the very top of the snack.

• Next, we act traditionally and proceed to cutting all the components: we mill the herring, we get two pieces of salted herring without bones, cut them into cubes 1 by 1 cm.

• We rub the cheese, a very beautiful cut is obtained on a Korean grater.

• We cut the green onion feathers into small segments, while leaving the dill whole for decoration (especially if the serving is delayed until the next day!).

• After boiling, we get three or four hard-boiled eggs. One egg is divided into boiled yolk and protein. Cut out small even circles from boiled protein with any round object / notch / cap from a felt-tip pen, etc. From these circles of small diameter we will form primroses for decoration. Chop the rest of the eggs with a knife.

• For cheese and egg layers, mix cheese, chopped eggs, black pepper, green onions in a bowl.

• We fill the whole mass with mayonnaise and sprinkle a little with a quarter of a lemon.

• Mix and taste for salt. Since the cheese can be quite salty, and the herring itself in the recipe is taken at least lightly salted, it may not be necessary to add salt at all.

• To decorate the snack, take a round small shape, line the sides and bottom with a film. You can take a molding culinary ring, in this case you can do without cling film. Spread half of the cheese-egg mass along the bottom, tamp.

• On the cheese and egg layer, lay the herring in a dense layer.

• We cover the herring with the second half of the egg layer and also ram it on the surface. We put the form with a compacted mass on cooling for 1-2 hours or until serving.
