Method
Curry salad
- Stir the crème fraîche, mayonnaise, curry powder, turmeric and sugar together in a bowl.
- Add the capers, pickled gherkins, shallot and diced apple and fold them well into the dressing.
- Chop the eggs. You can run them through an egg slicer in 2 different directions and then give them a single chop with a kitchen knife — that leaves them just the right size.
- Fold the eggs into the dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the rest.
Smørrebrød with herring and curry salad
- Cut the herring fillets in 2, trimming off the thin end of the tail piece if you like.
- Arrange 2 pieces of herring on each slice of bread (buttered, if you like), and top with a couple of generous tablespoons of curry salad.
- Garnish with pickled mustard seeds, chives, spring onions and cress.
