Ingredients:

2 salt herring fillets (schmaltz or matjes)
1 cup milk
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1-1/2 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 sm. green apple, peeled, cored, and quartered
1 sm. onion, quartered
1 hard cooked egg, quartered
1 tbsp. sour cream
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. sugar, or more to taste

Directions:

Soak the herring in milk covered, in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.

Pour the water and vinegar over the bread and let it stand for 10 minutes. Squeeze the bread to remove the excess liquid.

Rinse the herring, remove bones, pat dry with paper towels, and cut into 1 inch pieces. Place the herring, bread, apple, onion, and egg in a food processor and process until the mixture is smooth but not over-pureed.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the sour cream, lemon juice, and sugar. Taste and add more sugar if desired. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Makes about 2 cups.
