List of Ingredients




1/2 c. chopped smoked herring fillet; or a combination of roe, milt, and fillet
3-4 scallions (white part plus 1 inch of green)
3 tsps. red wine or sherry vinegar
1-2 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled
3 tbsps. lemon juice
3/4 c. olive oil

In a food processor, pure'e the herring fillets with the scallions and vinegar.

In a mixing bowl, mash 1 potato and add the roe pure'e and half of the lemon juice. While stirring with a wooden spoon, add the oil a little at a time. Taste and add more lemon juice if you want.
