Description

You should prepare this sandwich well in advance: the herring needs to be soaked first to become tender. The bread for this sandwich should be toasted properly due to the overly soft filling.

Ingredients

Fillet of Sturgeon - 10.6 oz
Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Green Apples - ¾ pieces
Butter - 2.5 oz
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
White bread - 2 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

The main ingredient of forshmak is herring. If you buy a whole fish, it should be soaked in milk (for about an hour, or preferably overnight), and then rinsed thoroughly to make it more tender. If you have packaged fillets, you can skip the soaking and simply pass them through a meat grinder along with hard-boiled eggs and half a peeled green apple (such as Granny Smith or something similar). Then add cubed butter, mix it well, and pass it through the meat grinder again. At any of these stages, you can add ground pepper.

Step 2

Toast the bread pieces in a skillet. Remove the seeds from a quarter of an apple (you can simply eat the remaining quarter) and slice it into thin wedges.

Step 3

Spread an equal amount of forcemeat on all the slices of bread. On four of the slices, place apple wedges on top of the forcemeat. Join the halves of the sandwiches together, and cut the whole ones diagonally.
