Śledzie w Śmietanie

A Polish lunch built around pickled herring and sour cream — on the table in 30 minutes. Each serving lands at 389 calories with 18g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Pickled herring
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 Onion
• 1 Apple
• 2 tbsp Dill
• 1/2 Lemon
• 1 tsp Sugar

Steps

1. Soak the herring in milk 1 hour if fiercely salty; drain and pat dry.
2. Cut into bite-sized pieces — herring should be a two-bite affair.
3. Whisk the sour cream with lemon juice, sugar, and black pepper into a tangy dressing.
4. Fold in thinly sliced onion and diced apple for crunch and sweetness.
5. Combine with the herring and marinate 2 hours, ideally overnight.
6. Serve chilled with dill and rye bread; Christmas Eve starts here.
