Herring forshmak according to Ella Olkha's recipe

Herring forshmak is a classic dish of Jewish cuisine that captivates with its rich texture and flavor. Its roots go back to the distant past when poor Jewish families in Eastern Europe tried to use available ingredients to create tasty and hearty dishes. Salted herring mixed with onions, breadcrumbs, eggs, and aromatic spices turns into a delicate and airy paste. The light spiciness of pepper and the silky texture of oil make it an ideal complement to crispy bread or toast. Forshmak can be served as an independent appetizer or used as a base for appetizing sandwiches. Its rich, salty-sweet taste unfolds gradually, leaving a pleasant aftertaste and a desire for more.
