Cod liver sandwiches - tips and helpful tips
• If you take the cod liver from a jar and put it in a sieve and hold it in it for a while, the excess oil will come off and the sandwich mass will not be too fat.
• Before cooking, wrap the bread with a cotton towel and let it sit for a day in a dry, cool place. Bread prepared this way is the ideal base for sandwiches. It will be easy to cut and the delicate sandwich mass will not absorb much.
• When cooking double or triple sandwiches, before serving, you should press them down with a lightly heavy flat object, such as a cutting board, for a while and then decorate.
• When buying a jar of cod liver, slightly shake it, if you feel that the contents freely “go” around the jar, it means that the liver itself is small, and there is a lot of liquid.
• Sometimes commercially available jars of cod liver are available with caviar. If you meet such a jar, get it for making sandwiches, then the sandwich mass will turn out more delicious and savory.
