This delicious concoction only takes minutes to prepare, so eat it the same day when the apples are still crunchy. It is perfect as a first course or as a more interesting accompaniment to cold meat and salad.

Ingredients

2-3 (5-6 oz, 125-150 g) pickled herring fillets
1 carton fresh sou

Rinse the fillets thoroughly under cold water, pat dry and cut them into small pieces. Mix in a bowl with the cream, apple, onion and nutmeg, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with thin slices of brown bread.
