In this recipe, we tried to find several new combinations for cod liver. The delicate texture of the liver gets along with a light yogurt dressing, the peppery sriracha sauce invigorates the plot, the crunchy salad prevents monotony , and the celery adds freshness. We decided not to mince words with the eggs: when cut, the halves of the eggs look more appetizing than if we had turned them with the liver into a homogeneous spread. An unexpected addition is dried cranberries, which set off the fatty liver with a slight sourness. In short, if you wanted sandwiches with an interesting plot, these are in front of you.
