We start to celebrate Shrovetide from Fat Thursday. Tuesday - known in Poland as "herring day" - is the last day of Shrovetide and carnival. It is a day on which we can have a royal time before Lent. In Poland the name of this day comes from one of the Lent dishes – herrings.

Today I would like to share with you the recipe for a dish with herrings – it is a recipe for anyone who likes herrings as much as we do. You can prepare mini shortbread bowls for "herring day" or any other day. You could also use the idea for the stuffing as a salad. Use as many ingredients as you need for your meal.

Ingredients:
version 1
apple
fennel
chives
French mustard
honey
herrings in oil
Dice the apple and fennel. Mix them with the chopped chives. Spice it up with the French mustard and honey. Stir. Cut the herrings into small pieces. Put the salad on the bottom of some shortbread bowls. Put the herring pieces on top.

version 2
avocado
herrings in oil
capers
black olives
dill pickles
horseradish
salt and pepper
lemon juice
Crush the avocado with a fork. Spice it up with the salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Slice the olives. Dice the dill pickles and herrings. Mix the dill pickles, herrings, capers and olives. Spice them up with the horseradish. Put the avocado mousse on the bottom of the shortbread bowls. Put the salad with herrings on top.

Enjoy your meal!
