Serves 2 · Prep 25 min · Cook 50 min · Extra waiting 120 min

Ingredients

  • 6.3 oz (180 g) ready-to-eat salted herring fillets, boneless
  • 6.3 oz (180 g) potatoes
  • 7.8 oz (220 g) beet
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) carrot
  • 1.8 oz (50 g) egg, one large
  • 1.4 oz (40 g) onion, finely diced
  • 2.5 oz (70 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1.1 oz (30 g) mayonnaise
  • 0.3 oz (8 g) dill, chopped

Method

  1. Boil whole potatoes and carrots until tender, about 20–30 minutes. Boil the beet separately for 40–50 minutes or until tender. Hard-boil the egg for 10–12 minutes.
  2. Cool promptly, peel and grate the cooked vegetables and egg separately. Dice the ready-to-eat boneless herring. Mix yogurt with mayonnaise.
  3. In two small serving dishes, layer potato, herring, onion, carrot and beet, spreading thin layers of dressing between them. Finish with egg and dill.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, additional to active preparation and cooking time. Serve chilled.

Cook’s note: Use commercially prepared ready-to-eat herring, not raw unsalted fish. Yogurt lightens the usual mayonnaise dressing. Check every fillet for bones.

Allergens: Fish, egg and milk; check mayonnaise for mustard.
