Best 3 Finnish Nissua Recipes
Nissua is a traditional Finnish dish made with small Baltic herrings. It is typically served as a spread on rye bread, but can also be used as a filling for sandwiches or as a topping for salads. Nissua is made by first soaking the herrings in a brine solution for several hours. The herrings are then rinsed and filleted. The fillets are then mixed with a variety of ingredients, including onions, carrots, celery, and hard-boiled eggs. The mixture is then seasoned with salt, pepper, and dill.
There are many different recipes for nissua, but the basic ingredients are always the same. Some variations of the dish include adding apples, gherkins, or capers. Nissua can also be made with different types of fish, such as sprats or sardines.
