Do you know how bad sitting at home is now? Loss of appetite. But really - in the spring, and so many people lose their appetite: because during the winter everything nourishing, "nourishing" has managed to get disgusted. I want something juicy, fresh. Bright... Well, or you need to walk down the street to spend energy. Then, maybe the appetite will appear.
And to us: stay at home. Well, many more were left without a salary. In short, trouble, trouble, chagrin.
Of course, on the one hand, good - no appetite - eat less. Eat less - lose weight. Yes, only loss of appetite - it is not always healthy. And in general, a person needs to eat (in moderation). Let me remind you that a person gets pleasure from delicious food. They say pleasure helps the production of endorphins. Endorphins, on the other hand, are responsible for ensuring that we do not go crazy with melancholy, in this our self-isolation, on the basis of envy of those who work, well, endorphins also strengthen the immune system.
Traditionally, it is believed that chocolate and desserts in general contribute to the production of endorphins. But yesterday I looked at a family, rather sadly munching cakes and realized: the sweet is no longer quoted. It's time to move on to salty.
Salty is also needed... interesting. Such that it is not boring. Otherwise, they will turn their noses away. And they will continue to sigh sadly that the soul asks for something so kind, kind of sour, but it can be spicy, and in general maybe even sweet, but rather salty, in general, a flower scarlet ...
That is why - today, a family recipe for herring pate (rather, a sandwich spread). As a child, I remember, he respected him very much, so to speak, this pate. I suspect his recipe is a derivative of the classic forshmak, just with fewer ingredients.
However, that was in childhood, and in adulthood, for five years, I had definitely not cooked, which means that it was definitely not boring.
So, we take:
A couple of beautiful herrings.
When choosing herrings, we make sure that the bellies are not swollen, the muzzles are cute, the skins are intact, and in general, let the fish look better than the buyer from the pomegranate. Sorry for such a description, but I cannot find other comparisons. It is better if the herrings are females - the males are fatter and softer, but in a spread it is not very good.
One white or red onion. Big and also beautiful. Yellow will go, but then let it be a variety that is not very aromatic and spicy. Onion piquancy is needed in a spread, not spiciness.
Three-four-five eggs (I think you still have paints?). The number of eggs depends on the size of your herring.
One beautiful, juicy and sour apple. Can be sweet and sour. In short, green.
Butter - from 100 to 120 grams. If your herrings are fat, then one hundred, if plump, lean - 120.
How do we cook?
Peel the herring, cut it into pieces, peel the onion too - and also into pieces, chop the apple mercilessly, add oil - in general, ace into one pot. And with a blender, with a blender, in one mass. In the days of my childhood, this is all who played in a meat grinder, and who managed to chop with a knife finely, finely, but I confess I am not such a hero. So with a blender.
Is it done? We send it to the refrigerator for at least an hour, and then - on black bread (even on top, you can sprinkle it with fresh herbs, to taste).
Bon appetit to everyone, well, and I'm going to the store to look for herring, cute both on the face and on the skin.
Shl. By the way, if you have homemade recipes for such appetizer appetizers, I will be very grateful if you share!
