60 minutes
The Seller sandwich with Baltic herring is a true embodiment of Estonian culinary tradition, blending the freshness of the sea with the rich flavors of the land. This exquisite sandwich starts with a crispy piece of rye bread, lightly toasted in the oven to create the perfect base for a rich filling. The slight saltiness of the lightly salted Baltic herring harmoniously intertwines with the tenderness of quail eggs and the spiciness of pearl onions. Potato croquettes made with celery add softness and textural variety to the dish, while beetroot adds sweet earthy notes. The flavor is enhanced by a thin layer of butter and a drop of aioli sauce, while watercress and pesto complete the ensemble with freshness. This sandwich is a wonderful choice for an elegant snack that combines aesthetics and harmony of Baltic taste.
