Herring with potatoes and sea buckthorn confiture is an exquisite combination of traditional Russian flavors with an unexpected sweet-sour accent. Herring, beloved in Russia, is complemented by tender potato balls that are crispy due to sesame breading. The dish's highlight is the sea buckthorn confiture, which adds freshness and a slight tanginess. Historically, herring and potatoes are classic elements of Russian cuisine, while the addition of sea buckthorn is a bold and modern solution that enriches the flavor palette. The dish is perfect for a festive table or a cozy home dinner, surprising guests with an unconventional yet harmonious combination of ingredients.
