Ukrainian CANAPES WITH SMOKED FISH (PEREKUSKY Z VUDZHENOI RYBY)

Perekusky means light snacks or small bites, which is exactly what canapes should be. A well-baked half rye or wheat bread assures a fine base for perekusky. Cream cheese makes this an easy spread to prepare. Toppings are varied and colorful.

8 ouces cream cheese
6 ounces smoked boneless sardines
1/4 teaspoon paprika
sliced rye bread and/or kalach
2 hard-boiled eggs
dill pickles
radishes
sardine fillets
parsley

Cream softened cream cheese, smoked boneless sardines and paprika into a smooth paste. Cover and let stand 2 hours. Cut bread into fancy shapes as desired. Cut eggs, pickles and radishes into various shapes: rounds, wedges, and strips. Spread mixture on cut bread, place a small sardine fillet with assorted garnishes on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerte until needed; they remain fresh for several hours, but if kept too long, become soggy.
