Chopped Herring Pâté

15m

This chopped herring pâté works as a delicious snack and pairs nicely with vodka martinis, old-fashioned, or a cold glass of beer!

The salted herring can be replaced with salted sardines.

It is Jewish in origin, but the secret of making this herring snack has long been perfected by Odesa’s Jewish community, and now it is a part of Ukrainian cuisine!
