A bit of history

The main ingredient of this salad, jokingly nicknamed "Venus in Furs" by the people, is herring. Several centuries ago, before mass fishing began, this fish was the most common in the waters of the oceans.

Until about the 15th century, herring, because of its unpleasant smell and slightly bitter taste, was considered food worthy only of the poorest segments of the population or monks who accustomed their flesh to all kinds of deprivation.

The situation changed when a simple fisherman Willem Jacob Boykelsoon determined that all the unpleasant properties of this inhabitant of the deep sea are concentrated in the gills, if they are removed, then the taste of the fish changes dramatically for the better. Later, even a monument was erected to this worthy person in all respects.

In Russia, this fish is more widespread than other varieties, the market capacity is estimated at more than 500 million tons.

According to legend, it was first served in the network of canteens and taverns of the Moscow merchant Anastas Bogomilov. The main visitors to his establishments were not the most posh public - workers and peasants. And since the year was very turbulent and eventful in 1918, the main topic of the feasts was the political situation in the country.

Each of the participants in these conversations with an increased alcoholic degree was ready to defend their point of view to the last. The last arguments were often kulaks, dishes and completely apolitical furniture of drinking establishments. A salad symbolizing these controversies was first served on New Year's Eve 1919.

Its components: herring (the favorite food of the proletarians), carrots, onions and potatoes (personified peasants), beets (similar in color to the Bolshevik banner), and the French Provencal sauce served as a dressing. The success of the new dish, called "SH.U.B.A" ("To Chauvinism and Decline Fight and Anathema), was simply deafening.

Thanks to the composition rich in vegetables, the herring salad under a fur coat enriches the body with many vitamins and amino acids, improves intestinal motility, promotes the elimination of toxins and increases the amount of hemoglobin. And the calorie content of the classic version of "Fur coat" is 193 kcal per 100 g (in many respects the calorie content of the salad depends on the mayonnaise).

After that, roll up the roll with the utmost care, or simply connect the edges of the beetroot layer.

4. Usually, recipes contain a fairly small amount of ingredients, but if you expect a lot of guests to come, feel free to increase them two or three times. This will allow you to cook "Shuba" on several dishes.
5. You can reduce the fat content and, accordingly, the calorie content of the salad by smearing not all layers with mayonnaise, or using its minimum amount.
6. Finely chopped pickles will help to add some piquancy to the herring under a fur coat. Place them between a layer of carrots and eggs.

Potatoes: 2 pcs;
Carrots: 2 pcs;
Bulb onions: 1 pc;
Mayonnaise: 200 mg

One of the most important dishes of any New Year's festive table is a puff salad, herring under a fur coat. According to the classic recipe, it is prepared in layers soaked in mayonnaise from: potatoes, onions, carrots, beets and, of course, the herring itself. There are various variations of this dish with the addition of apple or cheese, but today we will cook that very classic herring under a fur coat familiar to us from childhood.

The main ingredient is, of course, the herring itself or its fillet. I prefer to use, so to speak, a natural product, and not a semi-finished product, because the more energy and soul you put into the dish, the tastier it turns out.

The herring must be cut, bones removed and cut into small pieces as in the photo.

Boil the vegetables in their uniforms for about half an hour, until they become soft enough.

Peeling beets, potatoes and carrots is very easy, you don't even need a knife.

Put the potatoes in the first layer. To do this, grind it on a medium grater and distribute it in an even layer, and then grease it with mayonnaise. Here you need to make a little clarification, if you use a little mayonnaise, then the layers: potatoes, carrots and beets need to be slightly salted - I did just that.

Put finely chopped onions on a potato pillow and also coat with mayonnaise.

The next layer is the cooked herring fillet, which must be spread over the onion in an even layer.

Boiled carrots, as well as potatoes, are grated on a medium grater, spread over the herring and coated with mayonnaise.

The final layer is grated beets, which must also be soaked with mayonnaise and smoothed as in the photo. It is best to use a regular tablespoon for leveling.

So we have prepared our very real herring under a fur coat, which is not a shame to serve at any festive table, especially on New Year's.

Enjoy your meal!

Recipe 3: herring under a fur coat roll

Girls, what can I tell you ...
IT IS SOMETHING!!! Any fur coat just rests in comparison with this splendor ... As far as I was sure that there is no tastier than my fur coat ... But no ...
Not difficult, affordable and very tasty!

2 medium boiled beets
1 large boiled carrot
2 medium boiled potatoes
100 g cream cheese (I took Cream Bonjur)
150 gr. mayonnaise
1 lightly salted herring
5 gr. gelatin

Soak gelatin in ¼ glass of cold water, let it swell and dissolve in a water bath until completely dissolved (do not boil).

Cool and mix with mayonnaise.
Grate the beets on a fine grater.


Grate the carrots with a fine grater.
Potatoes - on a coarse grater.


Cut the herring into pieces (after peeling and removing the bones).
Lay out cling film on the table (in several strips, preferably several layers).

Add 3-4 tablespoons of the mayonnaise-gelatin mixture to the beets, mix and lay on a film (rectangular layer).
The next layer will be cream cheese, to which you also need to add 2-3 tbsp. mayonnaise-gelatin mixture.
Attention! Each subsequent layer of food should be smaller in area.


The next layer is potatoes, in which you also add 2-3 tbsp. mixtures.
After the potatoes, there is a layer of carrots (with 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture).


Put pieces of herring fillet in the middle of the carrot layer.
Now, carefully, holding the edges of the film on both sides (it is better for someone to help you at the moment), roll all our layers into a roll (with a little effort).

Wrap the edges of the film. Now you need to wrap the roll in foil and put it in the refrigerator for several hours.
Cut with a sharp knife.

My comments.

• It would be nice to put finely chopped dill on the very first layer (up to the beets) on the film (this is for beauty, and it's delicious).
• It is better not to cut herring fillets into pieces, but cut them into long strips along the length (this will be more convenient when cutting portioned pieces).
• Be sure to add a little salt to the beet, potato and carrot layers.

Recipe 5: lazy herring under a fur coat

Purchased herring in jars is not always tasty. Then I make a salad like this

• Beets (boiled) - 2 pieces
• Herring (how much to eat, from a jar or salted)
• Mayonnaise (to taste)

Peel and grate the boiled beets.

Finely chop the herring. If it is from a can, then it is good to drain the brine or marinade.

Stir the herring with the beets.

Season with mayonnaise to taste. Of course, this salad did not stand next to a real herring "under a fur coat", but at work or outdoors it leaves very quickly.

Recipe 6: the original herring under a fur coat from Ulrika

This recipe has been in our family for as long as I can remember, so to speak, the taste of childhood. It is juicy and not as greasy as usual, and the top layer is not the usual beet, but the yolk.
The recipe went to my mother in the 80s, then she did not like the usual “Fur coat”, and the employee treated her to hers and said that “even those who don’t like herring eat my fur coat!”
Oh, how right she was!

So, more to the point, let's get started:

1 layer: Finely cut herring -1 medium into cubes,

Layer 2: onion - finely chop, and now grease not with mayonnaise, as everyone is used to, but marinade (0.5-1 tsp of ready-made mustard, a little sugar, 0.5-1 tsp of vinegar 9% and 1 tbsp of refined sunflower oil - mix everything thoroughly), try and adjust the advice marinade to your taste, since both mustard and vinegar are different, a little sharper, a little sour ...

3 layer: boiled potatoes in a uniform -2pcs-three on a vegetable grater and again grease not with mayonnaise, but slightly odorless sunflower oil,

4th layer: boiled beets -1 pc - on a vegetable grater - grease with mayonnaise,

5 layer: raw carrots -1 pcs three on a fine grater, greased with mayonnaise,

6 layer: 1 apple (ideally Simerenka) or another sour - three on a vegetable grater, mayonnaise on top,

7 layer: whites of 2 eggs on a coarse grater, svehu mayonnaise,

Layer 8: yolks of 2 eggs on a fine grater. Do not lubricate with anything.

Insists at least a couple of hours, better night in the refrigerator, you can enjoy everything

Tip: if the vegetables are too juicy: beets, carrots or apple, it is better to remove excess juice, in puff salads, it can give wateriness. I rub such vegetables in a separate bowl, if they let the juice go, this can be seen already for a minute or two. I never salt the vegetables in the salad itself (but only during cooking), I have enough mayonnaise. Salt also contributes to such incidents.

Recipe 7: Diet herring under a fur coat

Firstly, this dish is high in calories due to the high content of mayonnaise, eggs and fatty herring, and secondly, in this salad we will find a high concentration of salt - the first product prohibited by any diet.

Recipe 8: Herring under a fur coat with an apple

Herring in a new role, with an apple. In the classic recipe, many put onions, but here I would not recommend that to you. Try to cook it. The salad is tender, juicy and very, very tasty.

slightly salted herring 1-2 pieces (depending on guests)
potatoes 4 pieces of medium size

I'm pretty sure this popular layered beet and herring salad is a top favorite on most New Year's Eve tables. Why New Years?

The sequence of layers in this salad is not so important and everyone chooses it to their taste, the main thing is that the beets with mayonnaise are on the very top. I used to think that herring should be the bottom layer, however, in this case, when putting the salad on the plate, some of the most valuable ingredient is lost, so now I prefer to put the potatoes down, which creates a more solid base for the subsequent layers.

Ideally, for herring under a fur coat, you should take a whole herring and cut it into fillets yourself, since in this case the fillet turns out to be more juicy, fatty and, accordingly, tasty. But since this is a rather laborious process, for which there is not always enough time and effort, sometimes it is quite possible to use a ready-made fillet bought in a store. When choosing a herring fillet in a store, you should give preference to the whole fillet, rather than pieces in oil, since selected herring of the best quality is usually taken for such products.

Layers of herring salad under a fur coat are usually laid out in a deep mold or in a salad bowl and served as such. But for a festive feast, you can make a more beautiful and elegant design in the form of a chic puff cake, which will become a real decoration of the upcoming celebration.

How to cook herring under a fur coat - a classic recipe for herring under a fur coat step by step with a photo, the sequence of layers in order

INGREDIENTS:

• 300 g herring fillet
• 2 medium beets (500 g)
• 3 medium potatoes (500 g)
• 2 medium carrots (400 g)
• 6 eggs
• 1/2 small onion
• 120 g mayonnaise

COOKING METHOD:

1. To prepare the Herring under a Fur Coat salad according to the classic recipe, you must first boil all the necessary vegetables. To do this, wash the potatoes, carrots and beets without peeling them thoroughly and put them in a deep saucepan. Pour vegetables with cold water, bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender.

Advice! It is advisable to cook beets separately from other vegetables, since their cooking time is usually longer, and in addition, they can turn vegetables red. Potatoes with carrots should be cooked for about 40 to 50 minutes after boiling the water, while beets can take from 1 to 2 hours depending on their size. The readiness of vegetables must be checked with a sharp knife - it should easily and without cracking enter the middle of the fruit.

2. Boil eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes, then cover with cold water and leave for 10 - 15 minutes to make it easier to peel them.

3. Peel the potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater.

4. Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.

It is not at all necessary to wash the grater before each new ingredient, since there is nothing to worry about if one component of the salad is slightly "dirty" with the other. The main thing is to leave the beets for last, otherwise they will color both the grater and other ingredients of the salad.

5. Eggs to peel and grate on a coarse grater.
6. Peel the beets and grate them on a coarse grater.

7. Peel the onions and chop very finely.

Advice! For the preparation of salads, it is better to use red or white salad onions, which do not have a very sharp and slightly sweet taste. It is advisable to scald ordinary onions with boiling water or pickle for 10 - 15 minutes in a weak solution of vinegar (2 tablespoons of any 9% vinegar per 100 ml of water).

8. Cut the herring fillet into small cubes and you can start assembling the salad.

9. Herring under a fur coat can be served in any deep salad bowl or baking dish, but today I will show you how to lay out this salad on a platter in the form of an appetizing layered cake. To do this, we need a round ring from a split baking dish with a diameter of 22 - 24 cm without a bottom, which must be fastened with a lock, put on a flat dish and lightly greased from the inside with vegetable oil.

10. Put the grated potatoes on the bottom of this structure, tamp them slightly, salt and grease with mayonnaise.

You can not spread mayonnaise with a spoon, but simply apply it in the form of a fine mesh over the entire surface. To do this, you need to take a pastry bag with a thin nozzle or use mayonnaise in a small bag, cutting off one corner from it.

11. Put chopped herring on a layer of potatoes.

12. Distribute chopped onions evenly over the herring.

13. Next, put the grated carrots, lightly salt and grease with mayonnaise.

14. Put grated eggs on the carrots and lightly salt.

15. With the last layer of salad, put the grated beets, lightly salt them and grease with mayonnaise.

16. Keep the herring under a fur coat in the refrigerator for at least 2 - 3 hours so that the salad is properly soaked, after which you can unfasten and carefully remove the ring.


Before serving, the herring under a cake-like fur coat can be decorated according to your taste and imagination. I garnished it with green onions and finely grated egg white.
