How to collect
The recipe impresses with its simplicity and genius at the same time. Liquid is drained from canned food so that the salad is not too wet. Knead the fish with a fork until smooth. It is very important to choose those canned foods that practically do not contain seeds, otherwise you can accidentally choke. Eggs are divided into proteins and yolks.

The garlic is crushed, mixed with the yolks. Grated cheese is added to them. Cookies are laid at the bottom of the container-form, canned food is placed on top of it.

All ingredients are mixed, then laid out on cookies. As a supplement, a sprig of greenery may be required.
Cucumber filling

To do this, you can add a little rice vinegar, which is usually added when making sushi and rolls. You will also need fresh cucumber, herbs and some cream cheese. Crackers are better to take round salted. They are easier to put in your mouth. Balls are rolled from rice, adding a little cream cheese so that it is inside, not outside. Finely chopped greens. Rice balls are sprinkled with it . Then they are laid out on the cookie, gently pressed so that the shape is flattened. Cucumber is cut into thin circles. They are placed on top of rice balls.

Is meat appropriate for cooking?
Sometimes canned fish is replaced with meat. This is a matter of pure taste, therefore, it cannot be said unequivocally whether this should be done. For example, pork stew, warmed and chopped, is well suited for a salad cake recipe. At the same time, there is no need to change the remaining ingredients. You can even add more garlic to spice up the dish. Of canned fish, by the way, sprats in tomato sauce, cod liver, and even sprats in slices are also good. The main thing is to knead well with a fork to form a homogeneous mass.
