Odessa forshmak

4 servings

15 minutes

Forshmak, which does not contain a single piece of apple or egg, but does have a Sverdlovsk bun and lemon juice. The editors got to know this recipe by Lara Katsova rather late - but now they make forshmak only this way. This is, in fact, a herring tartare with a rich, meaty taste. From our "Golden Thousand"!
