Let's shake and stir 🍸🍹💃!
Cocktail time at home always feels like a tiny party in my kitchen—the ice starts clinking, the colours begin to pop, and my glass is ready for its close-up. For this collection, created in cooperation with Recept.nl and Bols Cocktails, I played with some of Bols' flavours and turned them into drinks with plenty of personality: fresh, fizzy, fruity, floral, spicy, golden, and just a little bit fabulous. So grab a shaker, pick your favourite glass, add something pretty on top, and let’s make happy hour look as good as it tastes.

☝️Stay tuned and don't miss the recipes 😉😋.

This Bolletje product was not in the box I received, but it remains my favourite😋😋 . Also, making this particular recipe was already long on my list. So now it's the perfect moment for it, because Hollandse Nieuwe 🐟has also arrived!

This Bolletje Roggebrood (from Bolletje and Recept.nl) sandwich with herring is a transformation of the traditional Soviet Union layered salad – dressed herring (or herring under a fur coat, if I translate it with full precision).

Traditionally, the vegetables for this salad are simply boiled in water, unpeeled. But here I roasted them in aluminium foil in the oven to concentrate the flavour.
After the vegetables have cooled, they are peeled and roughly grated. The original recipe also includes finely diced fresh onion. Personally, I`m not a big fan of it. But it is always up to you and your taste if you use it or not.

The best way to enjoy this sandwich is to let it rest in the fridge for a few hours first, so the layers set more firmly and the flavours blend.

So, for 4 portions you will need:

8 slices Bolletje Roggebrood (or sourdough rye bread, if Bolletje is not available in your country)
4 Dutch-style cured herrings, in pieces
1 medium-sized onion, diced (optional)
2 medium-sized beetroots, cooked, peeled and grated
2 medium-sized potatoes, cooked, peeled and grated
1 medium-sized carrot, cooked, peeled and grated
4 hard-boiled eggs, whites and yolks finely grated separately
4 full tablespoons of mayonnaise
freshly ground salt and black pepper
fresh dill to garnish with (optionally)

1. Divide all the ingredients into 4 portions.
2. Place herring on the slice of the Bolletje Roggebrood. Sprinkle with diced onions (optional) and smear with mayonnaise.
3. Layer grated vegetables over the herring: beetroot, then potatoes, then carrots. Smear with another layer of mayonnaise.
4. Sprinkle with grated egg white and finish with grated egg yolk.
5. Top with a second slice of Bolletje Roggebrood, cover with cling film and transfer into the fridge.
6. Garnish with fresh dill before serving (optional).

Enjoy 🫶🤗
