Ingredients
- 8 oz Pickled Herring, drained
- 6 pieces rye crispbread
- 4 oz Radishes, sliced thin
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
- 1 small red onion, sliced paper-thin
- 3 tbsp chopped dill
- 3 tbsp butter
- Black pepper and flaky salt
Method
- Soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 5 minutes to knock the fire out of it, then drain and pat dry.
- Butter the crispbread thickly and edge to edge — thin butter on crispbread is a missed opportunity.
- Arrange the Pickled Herring, Radishes, egg halves, and onion on a board with the sour cream in a bowl in the middle.
- Shower everything with dill, flaky salt, and a hard grind of pepper.
- Build each bite at the table: crispbread, sour cream, fish, something crunchy. Coffee, black, is the traditional partner.
