In Sweden various combinations of matjes herring a type of herring cured in a spiced sweet-and-sour brine are eaten with the first tender white potatoes of the season. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
3/4 pound small boiling potatoes (preferably new) |
3 pickled matjes herring fillets (about 6 ounces) |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1 hard-boiled large egg, chopped fine |
1/4 cup chopped drained canned beets (about 1) |
1 scallion (white and pale green parts only), chopped fine |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch and simmer until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and cool completely. Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
2. Rinse herring under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut fillets diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
3. Assemble canapés: Arrange a herring slice on each potato slice. Top each canapé with about 1/2 teaspoon sour cream. Top half of canapés with egg and half with beet. Sprinkle canapés with scallion.
