About the dish

Erken brought international salads into the chapter on salads and light dishes. This "Dutch" variant combines matjes herring with macaroni, canned green beans and hard-boiled eggs – an early Norwegian pasta salad with a simple vinaigrette.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Cook the macaroni, cool it and cut it into small pieces. Hard-boil the eggs and cut each into 8 lengthwise wedges.

  2. 2

    Cut up the rest

    Tear the heads of lettuce into strips, cut the pickled cucumber into fine oblong sticks and clean the matjes herring of bones before cutting it into fine pieces. Clean the beans.

  3. 3

    Mix

    Mix the macaroni, lettuce, egg, cucumber, herring and beans together well.

  4. 4

    Make the dressing

    Stir together the vinegar, oil, pepper and salt to a smooth dressing.

  5. 5

    Arrange

    Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently with two forks, arrange on a platter and garnish with cress.

Changes from the original

The amounts for the dressing are taken from the page layout's sauce list (oil, vinegar, pepper, salt). Grams are kept, "haricots verts" is translated to green beans (canned or frozen), and the steps are separated out in modern order.
