MATJES HERRING COCKTAIL
Matjessillcocktail
A piece of herring can be served in so many different ways. And Swedes love their herring. Here's a little appetizing version of something we call "Sunny Eye" with chopped beets, chopped onions and chopped chives. An egg yolk to mix it all with is always served, and you can flavor with some black or white pepper.
Serves 4
2 cups finely chopped beets
4 tablespoons finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
2 matjes herring fillets
some onion rings
4 egg yolks
beet and herring liquid
white or black pepper
Drain beets and herring well but save the liquid. Prepare all ingredients and chop rather finely. If you use already chopped beets from a can you can chop them some more. Mix beets and onions.
Serve this dish in serving bowls. Put the beet mixture in a ring around the bowl or the plate. Put the herring, cut in even-sized pieces, on top. Sprinkle with some chives and put one or two onion rings in the middle.
Separate the eggs and put an egg yolk in its shell on each onion ring so it stands up straight. When you're eating, you simply pour the egg yolk over herring and beets. Blend with the fork and sprinkle with some pepper. You can also mix some liquid from beets and herring in when you stir it at the table. Serve with a good bread.
Enjoy!
