How to cook fish under a fur coat. Preparing all the ingredients for herring under a fur coat

15.05.2022 Restaurant notes

If we discard all the legends and rumors associated with "Soviet" salads, but simply look at the salad or salad "herring under a fur coat" (or simply "fur coat") from a practical point of view, it turns out that not everything is so complicated.

Our compatriots, since the days of socialist construction, have Olivier salad, herring under a fur coat, pickled mushrooms - an almost obligatory component of the festive table.

As my friend says, it’s nice to eat herring under a fur coat, and it’s nice to sleep in Olivier salad. Although, if you think about it, persistent people never sleep in a salad, but only in a dessert.

Speaking of the famous salad, they usually tell a sweet legend about the cook Aristarkh Prokoptsev. I don’t know if it’s fair that everything in the salad symbolizes something, but the salad of all kinds of symbols has taken root perfectly. They even talk about some classic options, mandatory, etc.

Salad, like the “Soviet” Olivier, is prepared by everyone in their own way, unique and always delicious. Being a salad, not even just a salad, but a layered salad, a coat under a fur coat is somewhat similar to a salad, and dressing and eggs - with an egg salad.

The same herring under a fur coat!

Ingredients (serves 4)

Salted herring 1 PC
Onion 1 pc
Potatoes 1-2 pcs
Carrot 1 pc
Eggs 3 pcs
Apple 1 pc
Beetroot 1 pc
mayonnaise to taste

The amount of ingredients for this salad is as your heart desires! But, usually, you should follow a simple rule for a herring recipe under a fur coat: for one herring - one small onion, a large potato (or 2-3 small ones), a medium carrot, 3 eggs, one large sweet and sour apple, one or two large beets . And better for two herrings ...
Vegetables for herring under a fur coat
Vegetables: potatoes, beets, carrots - boil or bake. I usually boil carrots, and bake beets and potatoes.
Hard boil the eggs, cool them in running water and peel them.
Peel apples.
Grate vegetables, apples and eggs on a coarse grater in separate bowls, without mixing.

Peel the onion and finely chop. Many people use green onion feathers, but I don’t like it so much, the taste of green onions “spoils” the salad. It is best to take “sweet” onions for salad - Yalta, white salad.
Peel the herring from fins, skins, entrails, cut off the tail and head. Divide into two fillets. Further, as my friend says, there is a simple but interesting job. Almost a quest! It is necessary to remove absolutely all the bones from the fillet - costal, vertebral, thin bones in the back, etc. The more carefully this is done, the more pleasant it will be to eat. Finely chop the herring with a knife, or, even cooler, pinch it into pieces with your fingers. If you have nothing to do - do it. So much more interesting, but takes a lot of time.

Jokes aside, but always the most "proletarian" food was herring. Always means always. Salted, lightly salted or smoked Atlantic herring, in barrels or tins, was one of the few products available at any time in stores 40 years ago. Vegetables, unlike meat, were also available. There were some difficulties with mayonnaise, but in the end, mayonnaise is easy to prepare.
For some reason, this salad was remembered from early childhood. Rarely when it was called by its full name, they usually said simply - a fur coat. And out of spite, I called this salad "coat", and usually waited for the "collar" from the fur coat the next day, for breakfast.
What I like about the “fur coat” is that you can cook a lot of it and eat it for a long time. After standing in the refrigerator for a day, the herring under a fur coat only becomes tastier, soaked in mayonnaise, juices and aroma.
A fur coat can be cooked both in portions - in vases, and on a large dish. I even had to see a huge plastic trough with a fur coat. So - everything is in your hands.
A lot of disputes, sometimes to hoarseness and fists. What ingredients are missing? Do I need to “spread” all the layers with mayonnaise? What is the order of the layers?
You can coat each layer with mayonnaise. But it’s easier to put all the ingredients in a bowl, pour a liter of mayonnaise into it and mix. Why litre? Yes, because 6-7 layers of lettuce will disperse - exactly 3-4 packs of mayonnaise. And even more. Just a litre. And your herring will “float away”. And aroma, and taste, for sure - there will be mayonnaise.
The most difficult question, and the most interesting one, is how to arrange the layers.
Given the name of the salad, the herring comes first. Often write - first potatoes. Sorry, we have “under a fur coat”, and not in a fur coat.
Herring, an excellent appetizer even on its own. And even tastier with onions! And some oil. Yes, with a baked potato, or cooked "in uniform"! They tell me here - you can already finish writing, the recipe is credited.
Herring, onion, potatoes. Here is the order of the first layers of lettuce.
Herring, onion
Usually the layer of potatoes is the thickest in the salad, so you should spread the potatoes with mayonnaise. Without being too zealous, a lot of mayonnaise in a juicy salad is not good.

For a second, let's digress from the "fur coat", and remember our other no less traditional salad - Olivier. Remember? Onions, potatoes, carrots, eggs ... We will not invent, we have the following layers, as it is written.
So: herring, onions, potatoes, carrots, eggs.
So: herring, onions, potatoes, carrots, eggs
Salted cucumber is added to Olivier. But, excuse me, we won’t eat herring with cucumbers! But sourness in the salad must be added. A ripe sweet and sour apple will perfectly complement the taste of a fur coat. A lot of people ignore the apple in a fur coat, and lose a lot. By the way, apples tend to "darken" in the air, so you need to cook and rub apples immediately before laying the layer.
Ripe sweet and sour apple - perfectly complements the taste of a fur coat
Actually the “lining” of the fur coat is ready! It remains to sew the top. The top of the fur coat is always beet, dark, “shaggy”, like fur on a good expensive fur coat. Don't be greedy, make the top thicker.
And grease with mayonnaise, also not being greedy! And then wipe the edge with a napkin, because. mayonnaise tends to flow from the plate.

Hello dear readers. Today we are preparing the well-known herring under a fur coat, especially since the New Year holidays are just around the corner and our snack will be very out of place. This salad has several cooking options, but it is usually made in layers with the usual set of boiled vegetables and herring.

If you wish, you can experiment, add apples, pomegranate or cheese to the composition, and for spiciness, many include garlic and pickled cucumbers. It's a matter of taste!! My selection includes the most common types of New Year's salad. Read and choose the one you like.

By the way, this dish has a very interesting history of origin: in turbulent distant times, people very often cursed and fought in taverns, so one merchant wanted to reconcile people and he decided to serve a “dish of peace” to visitors. All ingredients had a symbolic meaning:

Herring symbolized the proletariat, and onions, carrots and potatoes - the peasant population. The beet was the personification of the red banner of the revolution. But mayonnaise is the enemy Entente.

The chef realized his idea for the new year. Visitors ate this salad with pleasure and got less drunk. There were almost no fights in the institution. So, a herring in a fur coat fully realized its purpose of destination, calming the stormy population.

Potatoes - 3 pcs.;
Carrots - 2 pcs.;
Egg - 2 pcs.;

Cooking method:

1. Finely chop the onion and put it in a deep plate. Fill with boiling water and add a spoonful of vinegar. Let the onion marinate for 5-10 minutes.

2. In the meantime, we cut the herring fillet into small cubes. If suddenly you come across bones, then be sure to remove them.

3. Grate boiled and peeled vegetables on a coarse grater: potatoes, carrots and beets.

4. For decoration on a fine grater, separately rub the boiled yolk and separately the protein.

5. Make a foil ring according to the diameter you need. In this ring we will connect the layers of lettuce.

6. The first layer is pieces of herring with pickled onions.

8. Then carrots and mayonnaise.

9. Put the beets on top, grease well with mayonnaise, cover with cling film and put in the refrigerator for better impregnation.

10. As soon as the salad is infused, remove the film and foil ring from it, and decorate with grated eggs and herbs on top.

Herring (herring) under a fur coat, as it is also called "Fur coat", is undoubtedly one of the most popular and sought-after salads, which is prepared both on weekdays and on the festive table, for birthdays and, of course, for the New Year, which already "not far off".

In fact, "Herring under a fur coat" is an ordinary layered salad, with a set of standard ingredients that are included in almost all popular salads. For example, the same vegetables are present in, with the exception of some components.

Herring is prepared under a fur coat in different ways. Someone makes just ordinary layers, someone likes it in the form of a roll, and others like to make a “shifter”. It does not affect the taste of the finished dish in any way, except perhaps only visually.

Within the framework of one article, under any desire, it will not be possible to consider all the options and recipes for preparing this wonderful salad. But I will still try to give you as much useful information related to this topic as possible.

Well, now, let's not delay, and let's already begin to sort out a selection of recipes for preparing this salad.

Herring under a fur coat - a classic recipe with egg and apples

Starts and opens our selection of a classic salad recipe with apples. It is due to them that the finished dish is light and very tender.

Salad Ingredients:

salted herring fillet - 300 gr.
boiled beets - 400 gr.
boiled potatoes - 400 gr.

1 gr. gelatin + 5 gr. water
biscuit moss

Cooking:

1. Let's start with gelatin first. To do this, fill it with 5 gr. water, mix and leave to swell.

2. At this time, cut the herring fillet into a small cube.

3. Melt the swollen gelatin in a water bath and add it to 100 gr. mayonnaise. Stir and transfer this mixture to a pastry bag. We put it in the refrigerator until our salad is ready.

We will need gelatin mixed with mayonnaise to decorate the finished dish. At the end of the recipe, you will see and understand why these manipulations were carried out.

4. On a coarse grater, rub the boiled beets.

By the way, when you boil vegetables, it is advisable to boil the beets in a separate bowl so that the potatoes and carrots do not turn red.

5. Finely chop the onion with a knife.

6. We wash it thoroughly with a sieve and let excess water drain.

7. We send the onion to the herring, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and mix well. We take it aside.

8. Place the grated beets in a mold covered with cling film. Lightly tamp with a spoon or fork.

You can use any form for salad that you have on the farm. Whether square or round. Even a ring will do.

9. We coat the beets with a thin even layer of mayonnaise.

Each subsequent layer will be smeared with mayonnaise in the same way.

10. On top of it, rub the carrots on a coarse grater.

11. The next layer will be half a potato, grated on a medium size.

12. Now we need to peel the apple and remove the core from it. Grate and send to the form.

Important! A layer of apples does not need to be greased with mayonnaise! Don't forget this moment.

13. The time has come for herring with onions, which we will lay on top of the apples and tamp down a little.

14. Mix the rest of the grated potatoes with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. We mix to get a viscous mass, which will be our final layer of this delicious salad.

15. We cover the resulting dish with cling film and send it to the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

16. After the specified amount of time, we take out the salad from the refrigerator and carefully remove the film.

17. Put a serving plate on top of the mold and turn it over.

18. With gentle movements, remove the form, removing the salad.

19. We also remove the film very carefully so that the shape of the salad remains intact.

20. Lubricate the top and sides of the salad with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

We decorate the finished herring under a fur coat

21. Sprinkle the entire surface with grated egg yolks.

22. Lay out biscuit moss around the perimeter.

You can do without it, using fresh dill or parsley.

23. Now, we take out the delayed mayonnaise from the refrigerator. And, with its help, we make a border on the surface.

This is how a ready-made salad looks like, which will decorate any holiday table.

I think that the guests will be delighted with such an unusual presentation and beautiful design of the “Fur Coat”. Enjoy your meal!

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 protein.

Now we will prepare a salad, in an even more festive design. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Ingredients:

salted herring fillet - 3 pcs.
large potatoes - 1 pc.
medium carrot - 3 pcs.
medium beets - 2 pcs.
pickled onion - 200 gr.
mayonnaise

For decoration:

green onion - 4 tbsp.
eggs - 2 pcs.
boiled carrots
boiled beets

Cooking:

1. First of all, we need to pickle the onion. To do this, we need to cut it into small cubes, pour 1 glass of 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 boiled potatoes directly into the salad bowl and evenly level it over the entire surface.

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

3. We coat the layer of potatoes with mayonnaise.

4. Sprinkle a little chopped green onion on top of it.

6. During this time, the onion has marinated. We drain the water and cover our fish with it.

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

8. Thoroughly cover the carrot layer with mayonnaise over the entire surface.

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

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

Advice! Boiled beets are best rubbed 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 beet comes across very juicy and releases a lot of juice when rubbed. And we don’t need extra liquid in the salad, because it will spoil the finished salad.

10. Cover the surface with mayonnaise and coat evenly.

How beautiful to decorate a ready-made salad

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

12. Visually divide the salad into strips and begin to fill them. The first strip will be in the center. We'll 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 the next ones will be from carrots. Looking at the photo below, everything will become very clear.

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

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

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

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

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

Video recipe for classic herring under a fur coat

To make everything very clear, I suggest you watch a very good recipe, taken by me from YouTube. A very interesting and tasty recipe is described and shown in this video, which will not leave anyone indifferent. Happy viewing!

Delicate salad "Shuba" with eggs and apples

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

So let's figure out what and how to do it right. In general, there is no exact recipe for what and how is better, but, in my personal opinion, it is this recipe that deserves the most respect and, probably, it can be called the most correct one. Although, there is no dispute about tastes. Well, let's start, and then you yourself will figure out what and how.

How to cut a herring for a salad

As many people know, for this salad it is best to take a whole fish and clean it yourself. Why? Yes, because it is tastier than what is sold ready-made in banks. Although this work is not entirely clean and very painstaking, but it's worth it. It is with her that we begin the preparation of the “fur coat”.

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

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

3. After that, it is necessary to cut the fillets on both sides of the ridge. With a knife, with smooth movements, cut the flesh along the herring. We separate the ridge and remove it (we do not need it).

4. Using a knife (preferably very sharp), cut off the costal bones with a thin layer. Those that are not cut off, remove with your hands or tweezers.

5. Remove the black film.

6. Now you definitely need to cut off those places where the fins were. If you run your hand over those places, you will feel a seal. We need to remove him.

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

We figured out the herring. Now let's move on to the next step - cooking vegetables.

Ingredients:

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

Cooking:

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

2. We peel boiled carrots, potatoes and beets.

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

Our products are ready and it's time to move on to the next step - to assemble the salad.

Many people wonder what sequence of layers a herring should have under a fur coat, that is, which is the most correct one. Logically, the first layer, of course, should be the fish. Since the name of the salad speaks for itself. But not everything is as simple as it seems. Here, too, there are principles. Let's figure it out.

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

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

That is why, we should always have potatoes as the first layer (except when there are no potatoes in the composition). The starch in the potato makes it viscous and, thanks to this, when you take a serving of salad, you will not have problems with scattering of the latter.

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

But! Not all potatoes are laid out in the first layer, but only 1 potato.

2. And now we are already laying the second layer of herring cut into a small cube, which we previously cut and cleaned.

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

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

5. Now we peel the apple, remove the core and rub it on the chopped onion. We level.

6. Rub the rest of the potatoes on the apple. How could it be without her.

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

7. Thoroughly coat with mayonnaise.

8. Grate a sweet carrot on a coarse grater. By the way, the sweet balances very well with the 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. The final layer we will have eggs. They can be either grated or chopped with a knife. We sprinkle the salad evenly with them, because it will no longer be possible to adjust with a spoon or fork, otherwise you will take the eggs and the look of the finished dish will no longer be the one you wanted.

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

That's all. Salad ready.

And now let's write down the sequence of layers:

potatoes;
herring;
Apple;
potatoes;
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 goes for this salad. Can you imagine a herring under a fur coat without a herring? I think no. But you can do without potatoes.

This option will appeal to those who like 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:

slightly salted herring - 250 gr.
onion - 1 pc.
apple - 2 pcs.
eggs - 6 pcs.
carrot - 2 pcs.
beets - 2 pcs.
mayonnaise

Cooking:

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

2. Then we need to peel and cut the onion into small cubes. He will be laid on our herring.

Advice! To get rid of the pungent smell and the bitterness of the onion, it must be doused with boiling water.

3. Lubricate with homemade mayonnaise.

4. The next layer will be peeled and grated apples.

5. It's time for boiled eggs. We also rub them on a coarse grater and send them to a salad bowl.

6. Lubricate with a small layer of mayonnaise.

7. We rub the boiled carrots and evenly distribute it over the entire surface of the salad.

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

If you do not want your hands to turn red when you rub the beets, then you need to put on rubber gloves or a regular plastic bag on your hands.

9. Cover the finished salad with cling film and send it to the refrigerator. Ideally, it will be kept in the cold for one night.

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

2 roll recipes

In order to slightly diversify the classic recipe for cooking herring under a fur coat, for example, for serving on a festive table, there are recipes that make a very beautiful dish. On the New Year's table, they look especially beautiful, and festively elegant. You can simply decorate the finished salad in an unusual way, or you can tinker a little and make it in the form of a roll.

Recipe 2. Herring under a fur coat cooked in pita bread

Ingredients:

1 large beetroot
3 eggs
3 potatoes
1 large carrot
1 herring
green onion
4 lavash
mayonnaise

Cooking:

1. First of all, boil vegetables and eggs. We clean them and rub them separately on a coarse grater. Chop the green onion with a knife. We cut and clean the fish. How to do this, you can see in the recipe a little higher.

2. We collect the roll. To do this, grease 1 pita bread with mayonnaise in a thin, thin layer.

The first pita should be the largest and strongest than the rest.

3. On top of it, spread the potatoes over the entire surface.

4. We cover it with a second pita bread and crush it. Lubricate with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

5. Sprinkle grated beets and again pita bread.

6. Sprinkle with eggs and cover with the fourth pita bread, crush and grease with mayonnaise.

7. We put carrots, onions and herring on the last pita bread.

8. The resulting puff "pie" is twisted into a roll.

This must be done very carefully so that the pita bread does not tear and the roll turns out to be safe and sound.

9. Cut into several pieces, wrap in a bag and send to the refrigerator.

And how do you like such a herring under a fur coat? And what a “warm” fur coat it turned out. This roll is very convenient to cut into portions and serve.

Which recipe is better in layers or roll?

Both options are equally good. The only difference is that with one there is more fuss, and with the other less. Salad in the form of a roll is very good to serve on the festive 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 the appearance, except that the herring under a fur coat with pita bread 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 turn on your imagination a little and you will definitely surprise all the guests with your culinary skills.

Well, it's time to wrap up today's episode. And now let's remember all the important points in cooking herring under a fur coat. In the course of the article, in each individual recipe, the main points were touched upon, and if you read the entire article, then you probably remember them. And if not, then let's remember and write down. To prepare the right and tasty salad you need:

for cooking, it is better to take a whole fish, and not a canned ready-made fillet - it turns out tastier;
beets should be boiled separately from other vegetables so that the latter do not turn red;
it is better to cook all vegetables with a peel;
when boiling potatoes, so that they do not darken, table vinegar can be added to the water;
you need to grate the beets separately, as a lot of juice is released from it, which spoils the salad;
in order to get rid of the bitterness and smell of onions, it can be doused with boiling water;
determine the sequence of layers yourself, based on your preferences. I, in turn, advise you to lay out the potatoes as the first layer, as it contributes to the fact that a portion of the salad is taken in its entirety and does not crumble;
for smearing layers, ideally use homemade mayonnaise. You can read how to cook it by clicking on.
if you are using a salad form, then it can be anything (square, circle, ring, etc.);
after cooking, the herring under a fur coat must be kept in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, and preferably all night. As a result, the salad is well soaked and will be very tasty.

Thanks for your time and attention!

On New Year's Eve, I always remember the same picture from my childhood: my mother suddenly turned into a sorceress and performs a real miracle before my eyes. Like a Cinderella fairy who turned a simple pumpkin into a carriage, my mother creates something special in our kitchen from the most ordinary products.

Salted herring has already been laid out on the board, which always seemed to me a boring and monotonous product. But the boiled beetroot modestly exposes brown round sides from the pan. Nearby, a boiled carrot rests, which has become unrecognizable under its darkened skin. The usual pungent smell draws from an already cleaned onion. A simple, everyday picture ... However, I wait with bated breath.

Now all these products will be cut, chopped and transformed by neat and dexterous mother's hands. And then I will again witness the magic. Mom will take a strange and beautiful elongated dish and conjure a culinary masterpiece on it, from which it is impossible to take your eyes off and take your nose off. The herring will lie on the bottom in pieces on a yellowish potato bed, hide under several clothes, so different and elegant that it takes your breath away. And in the end, mother will cover everything with a purple robe worthy of a king in its splendor.

Guess what dish I'm talking about? Of course, about the legendary herring under a fur coat. Years go by, children grow up, but the people's love for the Fur coat does not become obsolete. So every year I also create this magic from the most seemingly simple products for my loved ones. Now I will tell you all the secrets of my beloved New Year's herring.

Herring under a fur coat has always been a national dish. Therefore, there are as many variants of this salad as there are people in our country. In Soviet times, it was difficult to get food, you had to make do with what was available. It was easy to get vegetables and herring, and so the main components of the legendary salad were formed. Each time, the next cook brought something of his own into it, again based on the products that he could get hold of at that difficult time.

We will not go through all the numerous recipes. Let's dwell on the most classic and proven:

I will tell you one small but very important secret: the correct sequence of layers plays an important role in a fur coat. In order for the salad to fully reveal its flavor bouquet, it is always necessary to alternate more neutral products with more savory ones.
Now let's consider this law of a fur coat in more detail.

The classic recipe for salad "Herring under a fur coat"

Products for this salad, no doubt, can be found in every home. However, since we are preparing a dish for the New Year, let's get all the best and highest quality.

one big fat herring
one large beetroot
two medium sized carrots
one medium bulb
three eggs
high-fat mayonnaise (classic, provencal)

Important - all products must be at the same temperature, you can not make a salad from uncooled vegetables.

First, of course, we need a herring. Do not be lazy, choose the most recent and, most importantly, fat. Herring, like a fish, is rather dry in itself, therefore, the higher its fat content, the tastier the salad.
So, carefully cut our fish into small identical pieces. Take your time, everything should look beautiful. Be sure to remove all the bones along the way, including the smallest ones! One such bone, accidentally caught in a fillet, can spoil the guests' impression of your salad.

How to quickly clean a herring from stones

I didn’t like to cook this salad before because of the long fuss with the fish until you clean it until you pick out all the small bones. But you can do everything quickly and easily. See how to quickly and correctly cut herring for salad.

Next, boil large beets and a couple of medium-sized carrots. Do not be lazy to try the vegetables first. It is important for us that the beetroot must be sweet. Unsweetened specimens confidently put aside - a delicious fur coat will not work out of them. It is most convenient to boil vegetables on the eve of preparing our New Year's dish - they will cool well and even if the beet comes across bitter, you will have time to boil a new one.

Boil potatoes in their skins in salted water.

Peel carrots, beets and potatoes. It is more convenient for me to rub them immediately into a salad bowl. But you can immediately grate all the vegetables on a coarse grater.

Finely chop one peeled medium onion. It is best to take white sweet onions.

If you come across a bitter onion, just marinate it in vinegar in half with water. After 10 minutes, drain the vinegar, and put the onion on a sieve and let it drain well.

Hard boil three eggs. Grate two of them on a coarse grater, put one aside for now - we will need it to decorate the finished salad.

Take a jar of mayonnaise out of the refrigerator. No, low-calorie is not good at all here. Only classic high-fat mayonnaise is able to emphasize and enhance the taste of fur coats.

Well, we have prepared the necessary products, now we will collect our salad.

The sequence of layers of salad "herring under a fur coat" with an egg

Usually, a long, elongated dish, popularly referred to as a herring, is used for the Shuba salad. If you don’t have one, a regular round one with high sides will do. And for the festive table, you can prepare a salad in a round shape, for this, just take a detachable cake mold or you can cut off the bottom of a plastic container.

Lightly coat the bottom and sides of the dish with vegetable oil before you start laying the lettuce layers. So it will be easier then to lay out the salad on portioned plates.

The first layer we always have is boiled potatoes. It creates a good base for the salad by holding the pieces of herring on itself, preventing them from falling out when serving.
So, spread one grated potato on the bottom of the salad bowl in an even layer.

Top with a little mayonnaise.

Place the herring on top of the potato layer.

Sprinkle onion on top.

Now it's time for boiled carrots.

Again, slightly cover everything with mayonnaise.

Sprinkle with a second portion of grated potatoes and brush with mayonnaise. Top with chopped eggs.

Spread with mayonnaise again and complete this wonderful design with a thick layer of grated beets.

Decorate the surface with mayonnaise, according to your imagination. I usually just smear it, and then decorate the finished salad.

The prepared dish cannot be served immediately to the table, it should be well saturated, for this we put it in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours.

If you prepared the salad in a round shape, then before serving it must be removed. This is easy to do - just scroll it a little to the side and gently lift it up.

But we still have one more egg left. Separate the protein from the yolk and grate them separately on a grater.
Sprinkle the beetroot coat on top: in the center - with crushed yolk, along the edges - with protein. Or just one grated protein. The beauty!

It is necessary to decorate the top of the salad right before serving, otherwise everything will be stained from the beets.

Is it necessary to salt layers of herring under a fur coat?

This question often arises among housewives. It is better not to salt - the herring itself is already quite salty, and the mayonnaise is also salty. It is usually enough to boil the potatoes in salted water (as with conventional cooking). But if everyone in your family loves salt and the fish you got is lightly salted, you can salt the vegetable layers, those that are not next to the pieces of fish.

Herring under a fur coat with an apple

For those who prefer less high-calorie and more savory dishes, there is another version of the classic fur coat, with a very refreshing and interesting taste. Yes, yes, the good old apple will replace one layer of potatoes in this salad.

Prepare the necessary products:

One and a half carcasses of herring.
One large apple. Be sure to choose a hard, hard fruit, soft varieties of apples will not work here, because, when cut into pieces, they do not hold their shape well.
One large boiled beetroot.
A couple of boiled carrots.
One boiled medium potato in uniform.
Medium head of onion.
Two or three hard-boiled eggs.
Mayonnaise. We remember that only classic Provençal, we do not take any lightweight and piquant.

Proceed with the products as in the previous recipe.

Cut the salted herring into neat small pieces, remembering to remove all possible bones.
Free the carrots and beets from the peel and rub them separately on a coarse grater.
Do the same with potatoes.
Chop the onion as finely as possible.
Finely chop the eggs too.
Remove the skin from the apple and remove the core. Now carefully cut the apples into small and thin strips.

Tip: Resist the temptation to grate apples. With this method of processing, the fruits will give a lot of juice, which will adversely affect the taste and texture of the finished salad. We need the fur coat not to delaminate, and its ingredients do not fall apart at the slightest touch to them.

Now that we have prepared all the products, let's start cooking the salad.

Layers of salad "herring under a fur coat" with apples in order

Put a layer of potatoes on the bottom of the mold.

We put pieces of herring on this potato litter.

Sprinkle onion on top and cover with a layer of mayonnaise.

Arrange apple slices on top.

Now it's time for a layer of chopped egg.

Lubricate again with mayonnaise, not much, just a little bit. As you can see, we coat the layers through one, so the salad will not be so greasy.

Add a layer of boiled carrots.

And, finally, we cover everything with a beetroot coat and again grease with mayonnaise.

Decorate the salad to your liking with eggs, mayonnaise and any greens.

Herring under a fur coat roll

If, nevertheless, you are resolutely full of desire on a festive evening to surprise guests with something more original, but do not want to part with the familiar and native herring under a fur coat, here is another version of this dish that can strike all eaters on the spot. We’ll make a reservation right away: you’ll have to tinker with this salad. But on the other hand, the reputation of a first-class hostess will be provided to you.

There are two options for preparing this roll - with and without gelatin. With gelatin, the taste is slightly different, as the consistency of the salad changes. When cut into pieces, it does not crumble or break. A simple roll has the same taste as a regular fur coat, just a different form of salad. Since we have an article today about the classic cooking method, let's analyze a simple recipe.

For this dish, prepare:

One large boiled beetroot.
A couple of boiled carrots.
A couple of large boiled potatoes.
One medium onion.
One and a half carcasses of herring.
A jar of good mayonnaise.
A couple of boiled eggs.

Well, let's get started.

Step by step cooking recipe:

Grate beets, potatoes, carrots and eggs on a coarse grater.

Cut the herring into small equal pieces. For this salad, cut the fish smaller than for a classic fur coat.

Finely chop the onion.

Tip: to make the salad look even more interesting and elegant, replace the onion with green onion (finely chop the bunch).

Now take the cling film and fold it in several layers in the form of a large canvas. Lay the canvas on a table or board.

Spread a layer of beets evenly over the film.

And spread it all with mayonnaise.

Cover with a layer of eggs. As you can see, we lay out the eggs closer to one of the edges of our workpiece.

Now it's the turn of the potato layer.

Put a layer of finely chopped onion and herring on the potatoes.

We cover them with a layer of mayonnaise.

Attention! Each subsequent layer should be slightly smaller than the previous one, it is necessary to spread the mass, slightly retreating from the edges of the underlying base. Otherwise, when forming a roll, those layers that are in the middle will flow out and the dish will turn out to be ugly.

Now very carefully, lifting the edges of the film, twist the mass into a roll.

Very carefully, so as not to damage the complex structure, put it in the cold for 6 hours.

After carefully remove the film and decorate as you like.

Cut into portions with a sharp knife before serving. Yummy!
