Preparation steps
01
Preparation of canned herring Open the can, drain off excess oil (leave 1–2 tablespoons for a tender texture). Check the fillets for bones and cut into pieces. ⏱ 5 min. Guideline: clean fillets without large pieces of skin or bones.
02
Preparing the other ingredients Peel and core the apple, then dice or grate it. Finely chop the onion. Peel and coarsely chop the eggs. ⏱ 7 min. Guideline: all ingredients are ready for grinding.
03
Blending the forshmak Combine the herring, apple, onion, eggs and softened butter. Blend in a blender or meat grinder until you have a paste-like, but not ‘rubbery’ texture. Add lemon juice and pepper. ⏱ 3–5 min. Guideline: a delicate, creamy pâté with a light texture.
04
Cooling and stabilising the flavour Transfer the forshmak to a container and chill in the refrigerator. ⏱ 20–30 min. Guideline: balanced flavour, denser texture.
