Production
Sour cream spread
Finely chop the pickled gherkins and red onions. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Add the carob bean gum and stir in well to provide the necessary stability to the spread.
Note: The spread can be stored in the refrigerator at 5°C for up to 2 days.
Filling the sandwiches
Use smørrebrød slices as the base.
Spread each slice generously with the sour cream spread and place the Matjes herring fillets on top. Slice the beetroot thinly and arrange on the herring together with the apple slices. Garnish with Lollo Rosso lettuce, finely chopped pickled gherkins and fresh dill.
Notes: In the Netherlands, Matjes is traditionally served with pumpernickel. For an autumn variation, we recommend using beetroot and apples. Ingredients may vary seasonally and can be adapted according to personal preference.
