How to make false caviar from herring and carrots

To make the false caviar, buy lightly salted herring, wash it, and dry it with paper towels. Fillet the fish, remove the bones, and cut into medium-sized pieces that are easy to grind through a meat grinder. If you don't like handling whole fish, buy ready-cleaned fillets or herring pieces.

Boil the carrots ahead of time, peel them, and cut them into medium-sized pieces. Carrots give the caviar a beautiful, vibrant appearance. They also add an even more delicate and piquant flavor to the fish roe.

Add pieces of processed cheese and butter to the ingredients. These ingredients should be of the highest quality, natural, and delicious. The overall flavor of the caviar depends on them.

Grind all ingredients through a meat grinder or, to speed up the process, blend them in a blender. It doesn't matter which appliance you have—a meat grinder or a blender. Either way, you'll get a soft, creamy mixture that tastes like real caviar.

Before serving, chill the finished appetizer in the refrigerator. This will give it the right consistency, and the butter and cheese will be well chilled. In any case, this fake caviar will be easy to spread on bread. Enjoy!
