Herring salad under a fur coat, a step-by-step recipe for the New Year. Finished dish decoration

What is the New Year's or other festive table without the famous "fur coat". Probably, only in Russian cuisine could they come up with such a budget salad of seasonal vegetables and herring and at the same time so tasty. Usually we don't really like boiled vegetables, but in this salad they play with their colors, like different instruments in an orchestra, creating a symphony of taste.

Delicate salad "Herring under a fur coat" with apples and eggs

First, I want to tell you the most delicious proven recipe. Salad is prepared with an apple. And it turns out just out of competition, the guests from him on the festive table and the crumbs will not leave. In general, I recommend trying this option.

Vegetables for salad can not be boiled, but baked - this way they will turn out even brighter and tastier.

Products:

• Herring fillet - 300 g,
• Medium potatoes - 4 pcs. (400 g),
• Medium carrots - 4 pcs. (400 g),
• Medium beets - 3 pcs. (400 g),
• Eggs - 4 pcs.,
• Green apples - 2 pcs.,
• Mayonnaise,
• Salt.

According to GOST, you do not need to put onions in this salad, as many do not like onions. Also, some believe that the bottom layer should be potatoes, although they should be herring. They began to put potatoes down in canteens, so that it would be more convenient to shift the salad onto plates. And at home you can make a classic version with a herring at the bottom. It will be much tastier that way.

1. First, wash and boil the vegetables. Beets can be boiled separately so that the rest of the vegetables do not stain, but you can do it all together. When cooking, add 1 tsp. salt. If you cook all the vegetables together, then half an hour after the water boils, you need to pull out the potatoes. Carrots are cooked for one hour after boiling. A beet and a half hours after boiling. If the water boils away, add fresh boiling water to cover the vegetables completely.
2. Hard boil 4 eggs (that means seven minutes after the start of the boil). Cool vegetables and eggs and peel. Take out the yolks and set aside separately, you will need them for sprinkling at the end.

3. Cut the herring into cubes.

4. Coarsely rub carrots, potatoes, apples. Grate the beets on a fine grater. If juice appears, it must be poured out.

5. Squirrels also grate coarsely.

7. Take a flat dish, put half of the herring on it.

8. Put half of the potatoes on top.

9. Lubricate with 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise.

10. Lay out half of the carrot in the next layer. Press down a little to keep the shape. Then lay out all the shabby apples.

11. On top of the apples - a layer of worn proteins. Lubricate with two tablespoons of mayonnaise.

12. Lay out the remaining herring.

13. And all the rest of the potatoes.

14. Then - a layer of carrots.

15. Mix the grated beets with one or two tablespoons of mayonnaise.

16. Put all the beets on the salad and smooth over its surface with a wide knife.

After preparing the salad, do not forget to wipe the edges of the plate with a slightly dampened napkin or towel, and then dry. To be clean and beautiful.

17. Grate the egg yolk on top of the salad using a fine grater.

I propose to make such a beautiful classic version of a herring under a fur coat without eggs. I will also show the festive serving, but you can, of course, do it like a regular salad.

If you do not have such a form, then anything can act as a form, for example, a frying pan. The layers will be stacked in reverse order, because the salad is made in a form, and then it will turn over.

The sequence of layers of salad "Herring under a fur coat"

As is clear from the previous article, there is no single recipe for this salad, so the layers may vary. But the basic and classical sequence is still there. And you can already diversify it by adding an apple, or removing eggs. Or by repeating some layers twice, etc. Also, the number of ingredients can be increased proportionally.

1. Herring - at the very bottom of the salad put finely chopped fillet of one herring. It is very important to clean it well and remove all small bones.
2. Potato - one medium potato. It is rubbed on a grater and put on a herring with a second layer of lettuce.
3. Eggs - the third layer - two hard-boiled and grated eggs.
4. Carrot - 1 pc. average sizes. Coarsely grated carrots make up the fourth layer of the salad.
5. Beets - 2 medium. Beets - the fifth, final layer.

Spread mayonnaise between layers. Either just gently lubricating the entire layer, or making a thin mayonnaise mesh.

1. As I wrote above, vegetables for salad can not be boiled, but baked. So the salad turns out tastier and brighter. It is necessary to wash each vegetable well, wrap in foil and put in the oven. Bake at 180 degrees. Potatoes are baked for about 40 minutes, carrots for about an hour, beets for 1-1.5 hours. Check for readiness.
2. Also, if you are in a hurry, you can cook vegetables in the microwave. Make cuts on them with a knife and put in the microwave for 12 minutes. Potatoes can be pulled out a little earlier, and beets later. Of course, it is necessary to check for readiness, if necessary, bake more.
3. If you use onions, then it is better to scald it with boiling water or pickle it. The easiest marinade is to pour chopped onion in advance with marinade from pickles. But you can also make a special marinade - for half a glass of water 1 tbsp. sugar with a slide, a quarter teaspoon of salt, 1.5 tbsp. vinegar 9%. In 20 minutes the onion will be ready.
4. The salad should be allowed to soak well, so prepare it in advance, a few hours before the holiday. If there is no time, then you can not grease each vegetable layer with mayonnaise, but mix it with mayonnaise - so the salad will immediately be soaked.
5. Apples can be replaced with pickles, and also added to sauerkraut salad. Ordinary carrots can be replaced with Korean ones. You can also add fried champignons to the “fur coat”.

I'm sure you'll find the recipe that your family will love. Or, every time you surprise them with a new and unusual version of this favorite salad!

Herring under a fur coat is a classic of the New Year genre. Spectacular, easy to prepare and very tasty winter salad. Even with cleaning and soaking the fish, now you don’t have to bother - to make a “fur coat”, you can take the finished fillet. The only difficulty is the eternal confusion about which layer follows which. Moreover, it happens that you have already made herring a hundred times and still you cannot remember exactly how to cook herring under a fur coat. A step-by-step recipe is the most successful solution to this problem. Every year, on December 31, I open my own recipe to refresh my memory. And I walk calmly. First a herring, then an onion ... And so on. See for yourself. I showed here the most complex version of the preparation of salad - in portioned form. And if you do it in a large opaque dish, then cooking herring under a fur coat will take you less energy, if only because you won’t need to stuff anything anywhere, fearing: what if it doesn’t fit? ...

Ingredients:

• 1 herring (or a package of finished fillet),
• 1 small onion
• 2 potatoes
• 1 carrot
• 2 eggs,
• 2 medium or 3 small beets
• mayonnaise.

Step by step recipe how to cook herring under a fur coat

Vegetables and eggs for salad should be boiled without peeling. I boil the beets in a separate pot. Firstly, it is cooked longer (on average, about one and a half hours). And secondly, it can color the rest of the products, and then the fur coat will turn out to be all the same beetroot color.

Herring under a fur coat is a layered salad with a well-defined set of products. However, about the first layer, the opinions of culinary specialists were divided. Someone starts a “fur coat” with a layer of potatoes, and someone with a herring. I tried this and that, and I like it better when the first layer is fish. Fortunately, the recipe allows for such discrepancies.

If you have unpeeled herring, then first you need to cut it and remove all the bones. If you took a ready-made fillet, then there are no bones in it, and you can immediately cut it into small cubes.

We spread the herring in an even layer on the bottom of the salad bowl. I use two appetizer molds because I don't have a flat salad bowl.

Put a layer of finely chopped onions on the herring. Level and cover with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

Now you can hide the herring in a fur coat. We start with the potato layer. We will rub all products on a coarse grater. After potatoes, the grater becomes sticky. And hands too. So it's best to wash the grater before continuing to prepare the salad. Flatten the potatoes and cover with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

It's time for the carrots. We clean, three on a grater, spread on a layer of potatoes, cover with mayonnaise.

As for eggs, there is a tradition to separate the proteins from the yolks - it is customary to sprinkle the herring under a fur coat on top with finely chopped yolks as a decoration. I almost never do this, because on the festive table the “fur coat” is adjacent to the Mimosa salad, which must be sprinkled with egg yolks without fail (otherwise it will not be “Mimosa”). So I rub the whole eggs on a grater and lay them in a layer on top of the carrots. And again I cover with mayonnaise.

And the final layer of our “fur coat” is beetroot.

We act carefully so as not to stain everything around with juice. I spread the mayonnaise a little longer so that the top of the salad becomes such a pinkish-burgundy.

Because I serve herring under a fur coat without decorations. This is how it looks, in my opinion, the most appetizing, attracting the attention of guests with its multi-colored layers.

Why is the herring under a fur coat, and not in a coat? Name history.

As a child, I was sure that herring is dressed up in a fur coat so that it does not freeze in winter. Winter salad. And when I recently decided to ask why the salad is called that, I had a good laugh. It turns out that the herring under a fur coat has a glorious revolutionary past. "Shuba" in this case is not a fur winter coat at all, but an abbreviation, an abbreviation consisting of the first letters of the name "Chauvinism and decline - boycott and anathema." Abbreviated: "SH.U.B.A." Under this name, the herring appetizer (and initially it was served in portions) was listed in the menu of the taverns of the merchant Anastas Bogomilov. In 1918, Soviet Russia was going through a period of devastation and an acute shortage of food. Carrot tea, crackers and herring were in wide circulation. From it, the chef Aristarkh Prokoptsev came up with the idea to cook an unusual puff snack.

How to make delicious homemade mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is a kind of white sauce made from egg yolks, vinegar and vegetable oil. Of course, a recipe based on olive oil would be ideal, but without this ingredient, you will not lose much. Given the abundance of modern counters, it is now quite inexpensive to buy mayonnaise from different manufacturers and with all kinds of flavorings. But these additives are just not very useful for the body. Therefore, it is best to prepare white yolk sauce at home.

So, to make this sauce you will need:

• Oil (230–240 ml);
• Yolks (2 pcs.);
• Vinegar or lime juice (20-25 ml);
• Mustard (20 grams);
• Sugar (20 grams);
• A pinch of salt.

Combine the yolks with salt and mustard, grind everything well. Beating everything with a blender, gradually add chilled vegetable oil one spoon at a time. Then add sugar and then vinegar or lime juice. Stir vigorously until it becomes a thick emulsion. Your fragrant homemade mayonnaise is ready. With it, your herring under a fur coat will become truly excellent.

Homemade herring and salting

Today, when choosing a herring for a salad, it is almost impossible to guess without trying the degree of its salinity. Therefore, it is recommended to salt it with your own hands at home.

But everyone will agree that self-cooked products are much tastier than store-bought ones, because they do not contain the amount of preservatives and chemical additives that are so harmful to health.

Previously, almost every real hostess had cooking methods and recipes for salting fish at home. To salt the fish yourself, you need to defrost it and be sure to remove the gills, since it is they who give the taste of bitterness after salting. Then you need to put it in a glass or enameled container.

To prepare the brine, boil 500 ml of water, add 30 grams of salt and the same amount of sugar. Fill the fish with a chilled solution, cover with a lid and send it to the refrigerator.

If you prefer lightly salted fish, then you need to remove it after 24 hours. If you want a more salty herring, keep longer, 3-4 days. Homemade herring cannot be compared with store-bought.

After mayonnaise, arrange the grated eggs, followed by chopped herring with pickled onions.

Then you need to carefully fold all this first on one side, and then on the other. Turn the roll over with the seam down and, covering with a film, press it well, giving it an even shape. Without removing the film, put the salad under a fur coat in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, and preferably at night, for complete impregnation.

This salad is really tasty and quite satisfying. Having tried this delicate taste once, you will definitely repeat its preparation. For its implementation, you will need the following components:

• Smoked herring fillet (210 grams);

1. If you don't have canned beans on hand, that's okay. You can boil it yourself.

After that, you need to pour it with cold water and bring to a boil. Thanks to this maneuver, your beans will be ready in 15–20 minutes, and besides, they will not boil;

But at the same time, ripe grains should be visible under its dried skin. But if the fruit is dry and the grains are not visible, then it has dried up from prescription. If the pomegranate is bright and fresh, then it was picked before it had time to ripen;
3. Instead of lemon juice, a sweet and sour apple grated on a coarse grater can replace the exquisite sourness.

So, prepare all the ingredients. Rinse vegetables and herbs with cold water, dry, and then chop. Break the pomegranate into grains. Cut the smoked fish into small cubes. Grate carrots on a large grater.

In a large flat dish, arrange the fish with green onions, drizzle with lemon juice, or top with a layer of sweet and sour apple. Then spread a layer of beans and brush with mayonnaise or yogurt. Put carrots and a layer of mayonnaise, followed by pomegranate seeds. Garnish with dill, and your smoked herring under a bean and pomegranate coat is ready.
