Ingredients:

1 fat salt herring
2 hard cooked eggs
1 sm. onion, grated
2 tbsp. soft butter
Pepper
1 tsp. prepared mustard
1 tbsp. vinegar

Directions:

Wash and clean the herring, discard the head, and soak in cold water 1 to 2 hours. The herring should retain some saltiness.

Remove the skin and bones. Rinse the fillets and pat dry. Grind the fillets or chop them very finely. Press the eggs through a sieve, reserving 1 egg yolk for a garnish. Combine the chopped herring with the sieved eggs and the remaining ingredients. Mash to a smooth paste. If the mixture is very soft, chill it before spreading.

Garnish with the sieved egg yolk and finely chopped parsley or scallions.

Comments from olga :

Use this spread on small slices of rye bread and garnish attractively. Some cooks add a finely grated apple to the mixture for a milder flavor.
