Finely chop the dill greens, cut the processed cheese into small cubes, and pass the hard cheese through a grater. We also grind a clove of a spicy vegetable on a grater or using a garlic press

Now pour the meat pieces, processed cheese and part of the hard cheese, half of the ground nuts, a little greens into a bowl

Also add salt, pepper, add garlic and mayonnaise, mix. We sculpt balls from the resulting mass

After a few balls roll in nuts, some in cheese, others in dill

We spread it on a dish, make loops from the stalks of dill and serve it to the table

You will also need sweet peppers for the recipe, and it is better to take fruits of different colors, since we are preparing a New Year's dish, which means that the appetizer should turn out to be bright

So, cut the onion into slices, peel the pepper from the seeds and cut into large pieces. Put vegetables in a skillet with hot oil and fry for 20 minutes

Once the pepper is soft, add the tomato paste and the pitted prunes. If the dried fruits are too large, then cut them into 2-3 pieces

Stir and simmer the ingredients over low heat, covered for 5 minutes. It is important here that the prunes are soft

Cut the herring fillet into cubes and immediately put on a dish
