An alternative to the well-known and beloved forshmak is herring and cottage cheese pate. Easier to prepare, with fewer ingredients, and taste great. Great spread for sandwiches!
Separate the herring fillet from the bones and cut it into small pieces.
Rinse green onions, dry, and chop finely with a knife.
Combine herring fillets and cottage cheese in a blender bowl.
Whisk on high speed for about 3-4 minutes, until smooth.
Combine the herring-curd mass, sour cream, and green onions in a bowl (if desired, a little green onion can be set aside for serving). Stir the pate thoroughly.
