Step-by-step recipe for herring under a fur coat with eggs

And here is another version of herring under a fur coat with the addition of eggs. If in the previous recipe we only sprinkled the finished salad with grated yolks, then in this case we will use both the yolk and the white.

Now we will prepare the salad, in an even more festive design. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Ingredients:

• salted herring fillet - 3 pcs.
• large potatoes - 1 pc.
• medium carrots - 3 pcs.
• medium beets - 2 pcs.
• pickled onions - 200 gr.
• mayonnaise

For decoration:

• green onions - 4 tbsp.
• eggs - 2 pcs.
• boiled carrots
• boiled beets

Preparation:

1. First of all, we need to pickle the onions. To do this, we need to cut it into small cubes, pour 1 glass cold water and add 1 tbsp. sugar and 4 tbsp. 9% vinegar. Leave aside for 15-20 minutes.

2. At this time we begin to collect the salad. Grate the boiled potatoes directly into the salad bowl and spread them evenly over the entire surface.

Advice! In order for the potatoes not to darken, but to remain light, you need to add 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the water during cooking.

3. Coat a layer of potatoes with mayonnaise.

4. Sprinkle a little chopped green onions.

6. During this time, the onions have marinated. Drain the water and cover our fish with it.

7. Next comes boiled carrots, which we also grate on a coarse grater.

8. Cover the carrot layer thoroughly with mayonnaise over the entire surface.

For any salad, it is best to use homemade mayonnaise. There is nothing complicated in its preparation. If you are interested in this topic, then you can read an article with different recipes about. I assure you that this is best option, unlike the purchased one.

9. Now the last layer remains - this is the grated beets.

Advice! It is better to grate boiled beets separately. That is, not in a salad bowl, as we did with the rest of the ingredients, but in a separate plate. This is due to the fact that it happens that the beets are very juicy and release a lot of juice when grated. And we don’t need extra liquid in the salad, because it will ruin the finished salad.

10. Cover the surface with mayonnaise and spread evenly.

How to beautifully decorate a finished salad

11. For this we need carrots and beets grated on a coarse grater. On a fine grater, separate the yolks and whites, as well as chopped green onions.

12. Visually divide the salad into strips and begin to fill them. Our first stripe will be in the center. We will leave it empty for now.

13. Along the edges from the center we make strips of beets.

14. Leave stripes on both sides of the beets. And our next ones will be made from carrots. Looking at the photo below, everything will become crystal clear.

15. Now place the grated protein between the strips of beets and carrots.

16. In the center we will “show off” the yolk.

17. Well, as you already guessed, sprinkle the edges with green onions.

18. To complete the overall picture, you can make mayonnaise-like balls on the carrots.

That's it. You need to keep the “fur coat” in the refrigerator for a while so that the layers are soaked, and then serve. Beautiful, isn't it?

Video recipe for classic herring under a fur coat

To make everything very clear, I suggest you look very closely good recipe, taken by me from YouTube. Very interesting and delicious recipe described and shown in this video, which will not leave anyone indifferent. Enjoy watching!

Delicate “Shuba” salad with eggs and apples

In this recipe we will look in more detail at the main aspects of preparing herring under a fur coat. Starting with how to easily and correctly cut and clean herring and ending with what the sequence of layers should be.

So let's figure out what and how to do it correctly. In general, there is no exact recipe for what and how is best, but, in my personal opinion, this particular recipe deserves the greatest respect and, probably, it can be called the most correct. Although there is no arguing about tastes. Well, let's get started, and then you will figure out for yourself what and how.

How to cut herring for salad

As many people know, for this salad it is best to take whole fish and clean it yourself. Why? Yes, because it tastes better than what is sold ready-made in jars. Even if this work is not entirely clean and very painstaking, it is worth it. It is with this that we begin preparing the “fur coat”.

1. First of all, remove the head with an oblique cut.

2. Now we need to cut off a small part of the belly and take out all the insides of the fish.

3. After this, you need to cut off the fillet on both sides of the ridge. Using a knife, cut the flesh along the herring with smooth movements. We separate the ridge and remove it (we don’t need it).

4. Using a knife (preferably very sharp), cut off the rib bones in a thin layer. We remove those that are not cut off with our hands or tweezers.

5. Remove the black film.

6. Now you definitely need to cut off the places where the fins were. If you run your hand over those places, you will feel a compaction. That's what we need to remove.

7. And the last thing is skin removal. In this case, it comes off very easily, because we cut off everything that was holding it. You need to grab one end and with a slight movement of your hand just pull it off the fish fillet.

We've dealt with the herring. Now let's move on to the next step - cooking the vegetables.

Ingredients:

• potatoes - 4 pcs.
• carrots - 3 pcs.
• beets - 2 pcs.
• onion - 1 pc.
• apple - 1 pc.
• eggs - 2 pcs.

Preparation:

1. Boil vegetables in their jackets. You also need to boil 2 eggs.

2. Peel boiled carrots, potatoes and beets.

3. Clean the onions. Finely chop it and marinate it with a little vinegar.

Our products are ready and it’s time to move on to the next stage - assembling the salad.

Many people wonder what sequence of layers a herring should have under its coat, that is, which is the most correct. If we think logically, then the first layer, of course, should be fish. Since the name of the salad speaks for itself. But not everything is as simple as it seems. There are also principles here. Let's figure it out.

But if you and I remember the moment when we cut this salad and want to take a portion on our plate, then what happens? Part of the herring remains on the plate with the salad. After that, we have to collect all the leftovers and send it to our portion. It's not very convenient, and it doesn't look very nice.

Sequence of layers of salad “Herring under a fur coat”

That is why the first layer should always be potatoes (except for the case when there are no potatoes in the composition). The starch contained in potatoes makes them viscous and, thanks to this, when you take a portion of salad, you will not have problems with the latter falling apart.

1. So the first layer will be grated potatoes, which we immediately send to the salad bowl.

But! We do not lay out all the potatoes in the first layer, but only 1 potato.

2. Now we place the second layer of herring cut into small cubes, which we previously cut up and cleaned.

3. Season with a little mayonnaise, distributing the fish over the entire surface of the first layer - potatoes.

4. The next layer will be the onion, which has already been marinated.

5. Now peel the apple, remove the core and grate it onto the chopped onion. Let's level it out.

6. Rub the rest of the potatoes onto the apple. What would it be like without her?

Probably, if there were no potatoes in this salad, it would somehow not be quite the same. After all, you must agree that when we eat herring, we must eat it with boiled potatoes. It's the same here. But still, there is such a recipe, without potatoes, which we will consider later.

7. Coat thoroughly with mayonnaise.

8. Grate the sweet carrots on a coarse grater. By the way, sweet balances very well with salty. In our case, these are apples, carrots and herring.

9. Now it’s the turn of the beets. Definitely, this ingredient must be present in this salad.

10. Coat it with mayonnaise and move on.

11. Our final layer will be eggs. They can be either grated or chopped with a knife. Sprinkle them on the salad evenly, because you won’t be able to adjust with a spoon or fork, otherwise you will crush the eggs and the look of the finished dish will no longer be what you wanted.

12. And as a decoration, you can sprinkle the “fur coat” with chopped dill.

That's it. The salad is ready.

Now let's write down the sequence of layers:

• potato;
• herring;
• apple;
• potato;
• carrot;
• beet;

Classic herring under a fur coat with apples without potatoes

Usually, in standard recipes for any dish, the presence of some ingredient is simply necessary, but some is optional. The same is true with this salad. Can you imagine a herring under a fur coat without the herring? I think not. But you can do without potatoes.

This option will appeal to those who love light salads. Instead of potatoes, we will use apples, which will give the finished salad a special lightness and tenderness, so to speak. Well, okay, let’s not talk for a long time, but let’s start cooking.

Ingredients:

• lightly salted herring - 250 gr.
• onion - 1 pc.
• apple - 2 pcs.
• eggs - 6 pcs.
• carrots - 2 pcs.
• beets - 2 pcs.
• mayonnaise

Preparation:

1. Cut the herring into small, but not quite, pieces and place them on a serving plate or mold in the first layer.

2. Then we need to peel and cut the onion into small cubes. We will put it on the herring.

Advice! To get rid of the pungent odor and bitterness of onions, you need to pour boiling water over them.

3. Lubricate with homemade mayonnaise.

4. The next layer will be apples peeled and grated on a coarse grater.

5. It's time for boiled eggs. We also grate them on a coarse grater and put them in a salad bowl.

6. Grease with a small layer of mayonnaise.

7. Grate the boiled carrots and distribute them evenly over the entire surface of the salad.

8. The last, final layer is the beets, which will also need to be coated with mayonnaise.

If you don’t want your hands to turn red when you grate the beets, then you need to put rubber gloves or a regular plastic bag on your hands.

9. Cover the finished salad with cling film and put it in the refrigerator. Ideally, keep it in the cold for one night.

Now our dish is ready. It turned out very tasty. Try it and share your impressions.

Both options are equally good. The only difference is that there is more fuss with one and less with the other. The salad in the form of a roll is very good to serve on a holiday table, and in layers it is suitable for any feast. Although, it all depends on how to decorate the finished dish. As we already know, any of these options can be served very beautifully, regardless of whether it is a roll or a regular salad.

As I said earlier, the taste does not change, only appearance, except that herring under a fur coat with lavash tastes a little different from all other recipes. Be that as it may, any of these options can be decorated in a festive way, you just need to use a little imagination and you will definitely surprise all the guests with your culinary skills.

How do you cook herring under a fur coat? Write to us!

Hello everyone, dear readers of the Maidens.

New Year is coming soon and one of the hot topics is how to cook herring under a fur coat. It should 100% be on the New Year's table! Just like other New Year's snacks!

Just like the famous Olivier salad, this salad is a must-have attribute of the New Year holidays for many.

I will tell you the recipe for a delicious fur coat that my mother prepared for us since childhood. This dish, according to the traditional recipe, is perhaps the most delicious and there is no need to go crazy with it, like some people make herring under a fur coat with an apple or cheese, in my opinion this is complete nonsense. So let's begin.

What we need for the fur coat recipe:

• Salted herring - 2 pieces or 500 grams, but it all depends on the volume. You can take fillet or whole herring, whichever you prefer;
• Potatoes - 5 medium pieces;
• Onions - 2 pcs.;
• Carrots - 2 large;
• Eggs - 4 pcs.;
• Beets - 2 large;
• Mayonnaise.

The amount of ingredients for herring under a fur coat depends on the scale of the holiday and the dishes in which you will cook it. It is best to take a large and deep semicircular salad bowl. Since we will be boiling most of the ingredients, we will talk about this separately.

How long to cook vegetables for salad

We will boil all the ingredients, except herring and onions, and then grate them on a coarse grater.

1. Finely chop the onion and pour boiling water for 10 minutes so that it is softer and does not have a strong smell.
2. The potatoes take about 30 minutes to cook, but for some they will be large, for others small, and the cooking time depends on this. In the process, pierce it with a fork or knife to determine its condition.
3. Carrots - also 30-40 minutes.
4. Beets - cook for a long time, about 2 hours, if the beets are large, then maybe longer.

Although eggs are not vegetables, we cook them too, for about 10 minutes, very hard.

Potatoes and carrots can be boiled together, beets separately, eggs also separately.

When everything is ready, drain the water and cool the vegetables.

To make eggs easy to peel, immediately after boiling, hold them under running cold water and leave for 5 minutes.

To cool vegetables faster, place them on a balcony or loggia.

Preparing all ingredients for herring under a fur coat

Before you begin the process of preparing a fur coat, you need to prepare everything. Let's break it down point by point again.

• Herring - just cut it into cubes; if you took a whole fish, then clean it first.
• Finely chop the onion, pour boiling water over it, and after 10 minutes drain the water.
• Potatoes, carrots, beets and eggs - three on a coarse grater and put everything on different plates.
• Mayonnaise - it will serve as an impregnation between layers. To make it spread easily, I will tell you one trick.

Take a little boiled hot milk and mix with mayonnaise so that the consistency is like sour cream and then the mayonnaise will be easy to spread and the impregnation of the fur coat will be more tender!

The process of preparing herring under a fur coat - layers

We will lay out the fur coat in layers; this type of salad turns out much tastier. Moreover, we will have herring under a fur coat in 2 layers.

Stages of forming salad layers step by step

Take a large, deep salad bowl and grease the bottom with a small amount of vegetable oil.

1. Lay out the potatoes as the first layer, take half of the total amount. Distribute evenly over the entire surface.
2. Lubricate with mayonnaise, not so that the vegetables float, evenly, but coat completely.
3. Then we lay out the herring - also half and distribute it in the same way.
4. Onion - spread half of the volume on top throughout the herring.
5. Coat with mayonnaise.
6. Carrots - also 1/2 part.
7. Mayonnaise.
8. The egg is half of everything.
9. Mayonnaise.
10. Beets - also half.
11. We also coat it with mayonnaise.

Then we repeat all the layers from the beginning again. Potatoes, mayonnaise, herring, onions, mayonnaise, carrots, mayonnaise, egg, mayonnaise, beets and mayonnaise on top.

At this point, the process of preparing a two-layer herring is almost complete. Now all that remains is to put it in the refrigerator for 8 hours so that all our ingredients are soaked. It will turn out to be just an awesome fur coat.

Herring under a fur coat in one layer

Sometimes you don't want to bother with two layers of salad preparation. And you can do everything in one.

How to choose a herring

• Check the gills. When choosing herring, look at its gills - a dull brown color and an unpleasant odor will indicate that the product has long expired. Elastic dark red gills indicate the freshness of the herring.
• Pay attention to your eyes. Herring comes in varying degrees of salting: from light to highly salted. If you like lightly salted, take red-eyed herring. This fish is characterized by high fat content. The caviar herring has cloudy eyes - it is not fatty because it moved a lot during spawning. If you wish, you can.
• Determine by touch. If possible, touch the herring with your finger and press on the carcass - it should be elastic and quickly accept initial form after pressing. Also pay attention to the condition of the skin. Yellowish and brown stains, plaque, cracks indicate a violation of the storage conditions of the fish.
• Assess the shape of the mouth. To determine the sex of a herring, evaluate the shape of its mouth. A small round mouth is found in females, and a narrow, elongated mouth is found only in males. True lovers of this fish claim that males are much tastier than females.

• Add some grated cheese to the salad or sauerkraut– the dish will acquire a unique spicy taste.
• Replace raw onions with fried ones if you want the herring under the fur coat to not taste bitter.
• Add an apple to the salad to make it sweet and juicy.
• Do you want the dish to be airy? Grate the vegetables directly into the salad rather than into separate bowls.
• Grease the dish with sunflower oil before placing the ingredients on it.
