Forshmak is a no-cook Ukrainian spread made by processing salted herring with hard-boiled egg, apple and onion into a smooth pâté. Getting the herring's saltiness to balance properly against the apple's sweetness takes real skill. It can be spread on a breakfast slice and packed into a lunchbox, or carried to a picnic in a sealed container.
Soak the herring in cold water for at least 30 minutes, changing the water once to reduce its saltiness.
Process the herring with the hard-boiled egg, apple and onion in a food processor until smooth.
Stir in the olive oil and lemon juice, tasting and adjusting the balance.
Transfer the pâté to a bowl, chill in the fridge and serve.
Soak the herring in cold water for at least 30 minutes before processing to reduce its saltiness, or the pâté comes out too salty. Allergens: contains fish and egg.
Using pear instead of apple gives the pâté a less tart, gentler flavour.
