Did you know:

Why is the salad named “Herring under a fur coat” and what does “FUR” mean? It turns out in the revolutionary years, in 1918 there lived a very famous merchant Anastas Bogomilov. He owned a network of taverns.

And in them, as you know, the "rebellious" people gathered. And so, in order to calm them down, they decided to feed them tightly. But an extraordinary snack, but with a twist.

Abbreviation "SH.U.B.A." means both "Chauvinism and Decline - Boycott and Anathema".

Beets meant the red banner of the revolution, potatoes, onions and carrots meant the people, and mayonnaise meant a close connection or tribute to the French Revolution.

"Herring under a fur coat" with apple

A funky salad is obtained when you add an apple and pickled onion to the main classic composition.

What is required from the products (for 6-8 people):

• Herring fillet - 1 pc. (average)
• Beets - 1 pc. (closer to large)
• A pair of carrots and potatoes
• One large onion
• Big apple
• Marinade vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Salt and pepper
• Bunch of dill
• And necessarily, mayonnaise

Cooking herring under a fur coat with an apple is similar to the classic recipe. The only difference is that before laying out, layer by layer, you need to cook the pickled onions and grate the apple on a coarse grater.

Cut the onion into small cubes. Sprinkle with vinegar, salt and pepper. Add just a little water. Mix everything so that the onion is saturated with the marinade. Give it time to stand.

Now that all the ingredients are ready, put each layer in order: fish, onion, potatoes, mayonnaise, apple, carrot, beetroot, mayonnaise. Decorate with dill.

"Herring under a fur coat" roll

In an unusual format, you can prepare our favorite festive (often for the New Year) salad "herring under a fur coat" in the form of a roll.

Enough for 5 persons (ingredients):

• Spicy salted herring - 300 gr.
• Beets - 2 pcs.
• Carrots - 1-2 pcs.
• Potatoes - 2 pcs.
• Onion - 1pc.
• Eggs - 2-3 pcs.
• Mayonnaise - 100-150 gr.

The process of making "herring under a fur coat" roll consists mainly in the fact that the layers are laid out in the reverse order, in contrast to the classic recipe. And one more thing - all vegetables must be cooled. So the roll does not fall apart and can be easily prepared.

And yet, so that the beets do not crumble, it is worth squeezing out some of the moisture from it. And to give a rectangular "cake" of beets on both sides (bottom and top), cover with cling film - this will form a dense and regular first layer of the roll.

Do not forget that the layers should be thin - not in a "fur coat".

So let's start:

1. As in the classic version - we boil all vegetables "in their uniforms". Simultaneously, we boil the eggs and remove the bones from the herring.
2. Cool boiled vegetables and eggs and place in the refrigerator for a while (1-2 hours).
3. Finely chop the onion and mix with the fish.
4. We get food out of the refrigerator. Clean and rub on a medium grater.
5. Squeeze the grated beets and put them on the foil, then cover them again with foil and press down with your palm.
6. Remove the top film and add the second layer - carrots. Salt a little, press down with a spoon and season with a little mayonnaise.
7. The next layer is potatoes, followed by eggs. Grease with sauce each time.
8. Now in the center, in the form of a "strip", lay out the herring with onions.
9. We roll up the puff salad with a roll, connect the edges. We wrap it up and wrap it in foil. We put it in the refrigerator overnight to soak.
10. Before serving, decorate with mayonnaise "monograms" and herbs.

In general, "whatever the child is amused with ..."

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 rubbed on a medium grater, put on top of the herring and coat 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. Optionally, salad classic salad Herring under a fur coat is decorated with chopped or grated boiled eggs, as well as chopped fresh herbs.

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!

Glad to meet you again))

The “delicious” New Year holiday has already ended, but I still can't stop - I continue to publish culinary recipes))

Although this is easy to explain, firstly, there are months ahead of them, rich in holidays and today's recipe will definitely come in handy, and secondly, I prepared it for the New Year (as well as in the past, and the year before last, and in ... years 😉) and therefore I have fresh photos, fresh reviews and fresh comments on the recipe.

Therefore, today about how to cook a herring under a fur coat, delicious and detailed))

I advise today's article not only to novice hostesses, but also to experienced ones, since I myself, having prepared a fur coat for the hundredth time and going to make it in 101, read a way to make it even tastier. At the same time, the herring under a fur coat has retained the classic recipe and layers, the sequence of which has remained the same as we like.

As always, I will first give a short cooking recipe, and in step by step I will detail what needs to be done additionally.

Recipe for salad herring under a fur coat, with a photo step by step

We need:

(The photo does not quite correspond to the truth, since I accidentally deleted some of the fresh photos, there was a photo from the last time when I tried to prepare a salad with beets, which are sold ready-made in a vacuum package - I did not like it.)

• Herring - 1-2 pcs.
• Beets - 3 pcs.
• Potatoes - 2 pcs.
• Carrots - 1 pc.
• Onion - 1 small
• Eggs - 3 pcs. (1 of them for decoration)
• Mayonnaise
• Black pepper
• Vegetable oil

A short recipe for cooking

Boil beets, potatoes, carrots and eggs, cool, peel. Peel the herring and cut into small cubes. Finely chop the onion.

Put in a salad bowl in layers: potatoes, herring, onions, carrots, eggs, beets. Coat with mayonnaise. I repeat the layers one more time.

Now in more detail.

How to cook herring under a fur coat, a step by step recipe with a photo

If you take such a ratio of products as written by me, then the "fur coat" will have a slightly sweetish aftertaste due to the rather large amount of beets (but we love that). If you take less beets, and more potatoes, the sweetness will go away, try it to your liking.

Boil vegetables (except onions) over low heat: boil carrots for about half an hour, potatoes for 45 minutes, beets for an hour and a half, depending on size. At the same time, do not forget that

We put the vegetables in boiling water, because we need them to be tasty, and not the water in which the vegetables are boiled.

We cooked everything, set it to cool.

During this time, we will prepare the herring. The last times I tried to do it with already cut and boneless, packed in a vacuum, I must say it is also good, especially since the herring in these packages is already with salt and vinegar, that is, delicious.

This time I bought a 300 gram Matthias fillet, it turned out to be just as much as needed. Cut the fillet into small squares.

Peel and rub the vegetables on a coarse grater. It is most convenient to make this salad in a salad bowl with high sides, but it so happened that I put everything in a herring maker, to arrange a fur coat in it is another task, but what can I do just like that for me a traditional herring under a fur coat))

Now about what I would like to pay special attention to.

Several years ago, I came across an advice that grated vegetables should be salted and added with a little sunflower oil. I tried it and, indeed, it turned out to be tastier, at least for this New Year, the herring under a fur coat was eaten one of the first.

To do this, grate the potatoes in a separate plate, salt them, pepper a little and add a little, somewhere with an incomplete tablespoon, odorless vegetable oil.

Mix gently with a fork (so as not to spoil the "airiness").

I taste it, if something seems small, I add it.

We also add a little salt and sunflower oil to the beets.

I just pepper the carrots a little.

If the herring is not "matias", but whole fish, it is not too salty, I would say that for this salad it is even tasteless, so by cutting the herring into pieces, you can add a little sunflower oil and a little vinegar.

The question that is most often asked when preparing a fur coat is about layers. Herring under a fur coat, its classic recipe, has layers arranged in the following sequence: - herring; - bow; potato; carrot; - beets, in this version over the herring you get a "fur coat" so "fur coat", real.

But at this point I step back from the recipe, try it, maybe you will also like it more.

Now coat with mayonnaise on top. In general, it is recommended not to smear, but to wait until the mayonnaise itself spreads and spreads over the salad, but it never works out for me, usually there is not enough time, besides, I take fatty mayonnaise and so that it spreads, you need to have angelic patience)) Therefore, I mayonnaise gently spread with a spoon.

In principle, you can stop at this, but we are not looking for easy ways)) so I am building another layer, it seems to me more elegant and tastier.

Usually I prepare this salad in advance and put it in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, it remains only to restore beauty. You can cut vegetable flowers and leaves, you can sprinkle with fresh herbs, I decorate with a grated egg.

What else I want to add. I offered to cook a salad “Herring under a fur coat » the classic version, in which the recipe is with an egg, but often it is prepared without eggs, while absolutely without prejudice to the taste. So do not like eggs - feel free to remove them from the recipe. I tried to cook this way, but returned to the usual version, I personally like it more.

The view of a fur coat in a cut may not be the most aesthetic, but bright, colorful and appetizing.

And further. I tried the most delicious "fur coat" from a work colleague, and the secret of the "taste" was not in the products and not in their special arrangement, but in the fact that when chopping vegetables she used a hand grater, in my opinion, from Mulinex. I rubbed it directly into the salad bowl, the layers turned out to be more voluminous, fluffy and soaked better. So if you have a similar device in your arsenal, be sure to use it.

"Herring under a fur coat" is a regular at our New Year's table along with "Olivier", although sometimes not the most festive dishes like eggs stuffed with onions are present on it (everyone loves them, but it's easy and quick for me to cook 😉 in the photo they can be seen in the corner). your attention if you are thinking of what appetizer to prepare for your dinner or lunch today.

Well, I highly recommend cooking from more festive options. When the days before the New Year holidays fall on weekends and there is more time for cooking, then I definitely cook something that requires more of my "attention"))

Bon appetit 🙂

Hello dear hostesses and hosts. Warm hello to you from my virtual kitchen! 🌞

Over the course of its rich history, the classic salad recipe has overgrown with additions and variations, and no one even remembers how the layers were originally located and whether or not it was necessary to put eggs in a traditional salad.

It's good that my grandmother was a cook in a real Soviet canteen, and then in a kindergarten. Many recipes of that time came to me in their original form, herring is also no exception. Gradually, I added modern, new ones to the traditional recipes. This is how this article came about.

In my opinion, all the additional ingredients make the "fur coat" even tastier and more interesting. I take this positively and will not prove that only the classic version has the right to exist, only nerds do this. 😉 I'd better collect all the recipes in one place, and you choose to your taste!

Herring under a fur coat - classic layers and their sequence

A beautiful, juicy traditional version without eggs (they began to be added a little later). He came to me from childhood, and he remained the most beloved.

And also suitable for those who are allergic to chicken eggs or who simply do not like it.

Ingredients:

• Fillet of 1 herring.
• Red salad onion - 1 pc small.
• Boiled potatoes - 2 pcs.
• Boiled carrots - 2 pcs.
• Boiled beets - 1 piece large.
• Mayonnaise.
• Greens for serving.

1. Herring with mayonnaise.
2. Onion with mayonnaise.
3. Potatoes with mayonnaise mesh.
4. Carrots with mayonnaise.
5. Beetroot with mayonnaise.
6. Decor.

So, pre-boil vegetables (except onions, of course). For potatoes and carrots, 20-25 minutes of cooking is usually enough, but beets take longer - 40-45 minutes for a medium-sized beetroot. If vegetables are easily pierced with a knife during cooking, then they are ready.

We take them out and cool them under cold water, or wait for them to cool down ourselves. Usually I do this, cook in advance so that I can make a salad the next day, because on a holiday there is not always time for cooking.

Try to choose bones as much as possible from herring. Herring is a very bony fish, its bones are thin as a cobweb, but then they are felt in the finished dish, and this can be unpleasant, so you will have to try during cleaning and cutting. I myself really do not like this activity, but there is nothing to be done.

We cut the fish into small cubes (I got a skinny and tortured one today, at least enough for a layer! 🤔).

It is very convenient to use such a sliding form, as if it was created for puff salads. The layers are laid down very evenly and a perfect circle is obtained. This is much more difficult to do on a plate.

In the traditional Soviet version, the herring is always the first layer. The idea to lay it out on potatoes appeared much later.

And it was connected with the fact that when taking a portion from a large tray in a canteen, the fish crumbled all the time and ended up mostly in the tray, and not in the consumer's plate. Therefore, at home, many began to adhere to laying out herring in a second layer on potatoes. This is actually more convenient.

And it does not affect the taste at all. Do you remember the rule that the amount does not change from a change of place? So, it also applies to salads. In general, I am showing a classic recipe, and you can, if you wish, independently change the layer of potatoes and herring in places.

The weight of my fish is about 400 grams. This was enough for 1 layer for a small 16 cm mold.

The second layer I have is onion, it is also mixed with a drop of mayonnaise. In fact, when you mix it right away, it allows you not to make a "mayonnaise grid" and as a result, there is a minimum of mayonnaise in the finished dish.

There shouldn't be a lot of bows. In no case is it a thick layer, otherwise it will clog all the components with its taste.

I took a red, salad onion. It is softer than regular white onions. If you do not have red, and you want to take white, then at least scald it with boiling water or marinate in water with vinegar (1: 1) so that it is not so harsh.

I spread it in a thin layer on the fish.

The next layer is potatoes, grated on a coarse grater. It does not need to be mixed with mayonnaise in advance because you will get a dense puree. To prevent this from happening, lay out a layer and make a mayonnaise mesh on top.

This is easy to do if you cut off the corner of the pack and squeeze it out through a small hole.

Another plus, when you mix it with mayonnaise in advance, is that the salad does not need to stand and soak - it is ready to eat right away.

Rub the beets in the same way on a coarse grater and mix with a smear. We spread it with the last bright layer. Beauty!

You see, it immediately turns out to be red and elegant, there is no need to wait until it is saturated.

I remove the sliding form very carefully so as not to damage my artwork. It remains only to arrange it somehow beautifully.

For example, here is a net that looks like a fisherman's net. The herring did not have time to wear its fur coat, I caught it and will treat the guests. 😄

To make it really smart, I decorate with dill and cilantro greens, a sprig of rosemary, which is so similar in shape to needles. It turns out juicy and aromatic!

Can be served immediately or refrigerated until a special moment.

Traditional recipe for herring under a fur coat with an egg

Especially for those who believe that a herring under a fur coat simply cannot exist without an egg. It is really delicious.

Ingredients:

• Herring fillet - 2 pcs.
• Potatoes - 3 pieces of medium.
• Beets - 2 pieces of medium.
• Carrots - 2 pcs.
• Onion - 1 pc small.
• Apple - 1 piece large.

1. Fish.
2. Potatoes.
3. Apple.
4. Egg.
5. Carrot.
6. Beet.
7. Garnish: 1 yolk + cream cheese, 2 eggs + parsley.

By the time of cooking, all vegetables should be boiled until tender. This time I took an ordinary white onion, cut it and pre-marinated it in a mixture of water and vinegar (1: 1) so that it would not be so hot.

For cooking, I will use a detachable dish with a diameter of 27 cm. I immediately mix the fish with a small amount of mayonnaise, let it be juicier. And immediately spread the onion on top with a thin layer.

Coarse grated potatoes are next on the list, and I cover them with mayonnaise mesh.

The next layer - I also rub the carrots on a coarse grater and coat. It seems to me that when you rub on a large one, it turns out tastier.

And beets, also large, complete our "fur coat". I even out this layer as much as possible, I smear it well.

It turns out this is such a light pink color. A little more time will pass, the salad should be infused and then the mayonnaise will become a rich bright pink color.

It's time to decorate. Another traditional decoration option is egg flowers. You need to fill your hand a little, but in general it is not difficult to do them, but it turns out very nice and gentle.

It takes a long time to explain how to do them, it is much better to watch the video right away:

In order to make the middle of the flowers, I decided to use a mixture of mashed yolk and cream cheese, about 1: 1. I simply rub the yolk with a fork, add a spoonful of cream cheese and stir with a fork.

It turns out a homogeneous pasty mass, from which it is easy to sculpt anything. I take a little and roll the balls, put them in the center of each flower.

Also, the middle can be made from carrots, or dripped with ketchup. You could add paprika to my mixture, then the middle would turn out to be orange.

It turns out unusual and beautiful! When the salad is soaked, it will be even more beautiful. But, unfortunately, I was eaten before it happened, so I could not capture this moment for history. 😊

Herring under a fur coat with an apple - a classic recipe + layers

Why not? And such a combination takes place, and has already firmly entered the list of variations of this salad.

The pleasant sourness of the apple goes well with fish and vegetables and harmoniously complements the composition.

Ingredients:

• Lightly salted herring.
• Beets - 1 pc.
• Carrots - 1 piece large.
• Sour apple - 1 pc.
• Onions - 1/2 turnip.
• Vinegar + water for the marinade
• Mayonnaise.

1. Sliced \u200b\u200bherring.
2. Pickled onion.
3. Potatoes.
4. Grated apple.
5. Grated carrots.
6. Grated beets.
7. Grated egg + decor.

This time I have herring from the pack, it was already cut into pieces. Well, somehow I was too lazy, and I did not cut it, I just laid it out. Now, looking ahead, I can say that it was nevertheless necessary to cut it into small pieces, because it was not very convenient to eat.

I finely chopped the onion and pickled it in a mixture of water and vinegar in a ratio of 1: 1 + 1 tsp. sugar for 5 minutes. Then she drained the water and squeezed it out.

I like the way pickled onions behave in this salad, its sourness is well felt. But, since we also have a sour apple (I have a Semerenko variety), it may seem to someone that there is too much acid. Although, for my taste, this is not so and it turns out crazy yummy.

Therefore, if you are afraid or you do not really welcome vinegar, then you can simply scald the onion with boiling water. But I would definitely not recommend leaving it fresh, the taste is too harsh.

So, we laid the herring, then cover it with a fine mesh of mayonnaise and spread the pickled onions. Then comes the potatoes. This time I cut it into cubes, that's okay too.

I cover the potatoes with a mayonnaise net.

I remove the skin from the sour apple. And I rub it on a coarse grater. Something like this.

I spread it on top of the potatoes. I have a variety that contains a lot of iron, so the apple shavings begin to darken quickly. It's okay, that's okay. Distribute it and add some more mayonnaise.

The next layer is grated carrots, I had them very large, so 1 piece was enough.

I grated the beets in advance and mixed with mayonnaise, distribute it evenly over the salad.

And here's an interesting trick, when the grated egg is placed very last and remains fluffy. Many people do this, the fur coat turns out to be even more luxurious!

Even the herring has a fur coat, but I don't! (c) 😄

Before grating the beets, I cut off a couple of strips with a vegetable peeler in a thin layer. And, having folded them in a spiral, and disheveled them a little, trimming them here and there, I built such a beautiful, saturated color "rose". I added parsley leaves to her.

It turned out like a cake, very elegant and solemn. I add some more mayonnaise for decoration and put the salad in the refrigerator to soak.

The recipe is very decent. Don't be intimidated by the presence of an apple, be sure to try it!

Lazy herring under a fur coat

This is the name of this interesting snack option, which is done very quickly and easily. And it turns out smartly and tasty.

Ingredients:

• Hard boiled eggs - 3 pcs.
• Pickled onions - 1/4 of the onion.
• Herring - 6 slices.
• Beets - 1/3 part.
• Mayonnaise - 1/2 tbsp l.
• Greens for serving - optional.

I have few snacks, so if you want to cook more, increase the number of ingredients accordingly.

First, boil the eggs until they are hard boiled (cook for 10 minutes after boiling). Cool in cold water and peel.

Cut the eggs in half, take out the yolks in a separate bowl.

The yolks will need to be crumbled with a fork, add finely grated beets, pickled onions to them (I showed how to pickle onions in the recipe with an apple, see just above). And mix everything together.

The mixture can be seasoned with salt and pepper. Its color depends on the amount of beets, the more there is, the darker and brighter the color of the spread will be.

We take the mixture on a knife or fork and place it in the center of each half of the egg. Don't be greedy, put more.

And put a piece of herring on top of the filling.

To make it really smart and festive, I pinch off the top of the green salad and place it in the center of the composition. Super!

So my lazy fur coat is ready. Of course, its taste differs from the classic version, but it also fits very well. Try it! 😊

Herring salad under a fur coat in the form of a fish

Here is an option for serving in the form of a fish (children will like to eat it and paint it with mayonnaise).

Something she turned out to be thick and pot-bellied, probably with caviar! 😄

Ingredients:

• Boiled potatoes in their uniforms - 2 pieces
• Red onion - 1/2 small onion.
• Carrots - 2 pcs.
• Beets - 2 pieces of medium.
• Eggs - 2-3 pcs.
• Lettuce leaves, herbs and olives / olives for.

1. Potatoes.
2. Herring.
3. Egg.
4. Carrot.
5. Beet.
6. Decor: lettuce, olives / olives / herbs.

So, how to make a sea mistress in a luxurious fur coat. Vegetables (not counting onions) must be boiled in advance. Cook eggs until hard boiled for 10 minutes after boiling water. And when they are ready, fill them with cold water, so that later it will be easier to clean.

Rub the potatoes coarsely and put them on a dish, shaping the fish. Cover with a net of mayonnaise.

The second very thin layer is onion mixed with mayonnaise.

Put the herring and mayonnaise on top of it. It is quite difficult to lay out layers and keep the intended shape. The pieces just strive to roll, but I return them, crush them with a spoon.

The next layer is grated boiled eggs. It is better to mix them with mayonnaise in advance, it will be easier to form a layer.

What a pity that a good thought comes after, I had to suffer a little.

I cover my figure with a thin layer, at the same time I adjust the shape.

I do the same with the beetroot layer. On a fine grater with mayonnaise - cover the salad.

It dawned on me now that my fish turned out to be similar in shape to, you know, there are such “fish” crackers. One to one! Okay, I'm an artist, that's how I see it! 😀

It remains only to decorate with mayonnaise painting. You can entrust this to the kids, they will love it!

That's it, tasty and simple, respecting traditions, but at the same time with a creative approach.

Jellied herring under a fur coat

Recently, it has become fashionable to change traditional recipes and add zest to them. Our herring also did not escape this fate, so let me present you a version of this salad using gelatin.

Ingredients:

• Herring fillet in oil - 250 gr.
• Boiled potatoes - 3 medium.
• Beets - 1 pc. average.
• Carrots - 1 pc. average.
• Onion - 1/2 small onion.
• Mayonnaise - 350 gr.
• Gelatin - 20 gr.
• Cold boiled water - 100 ml.
• Boiled egg - 1 pc.

1. Beet.
2. Half a potato.
3. Herring with onions.
4. Second half of potatoes.
5. Carrot.
6. Garnish with grated egg white and yolk on top of beets.

You will need a baking dish like this. Although you can just take a deep round cup or any other shape. A very popular option is the shape in the form of a fish, it looks great.

Well, I have this option. I lubricate the walls with vegetable oil so that the cling film does not stick, but glides and at the same time it can be easily corrected or removed. And I line the film on the bottom of the form and around the edges.

Pour gelatin with cooled boiled water according to the instructions, leave it to swell. This happens quickly enough, 5 minutes is usually enough, although it all depends on your gelatin.

In the meantime, I was preparing gelatin, I prepared all the ingredients. When I start collecting the salad, there will be no time to rub something, because you need to work quickly with gelatin, it tends to harden.

I rub beets, carrots, potatoes on a coarse grater (at your discretion, on a small one), I cut the fish into small pieces, mix with finely chopped red salad onions. I squeeze the mayonnaise into a separate container. Fuhh, I'm ready for the funnest part! 😎

I take a bowl of a suitable size, pour a little boiling water into it and put dishes with swollen gelatin there. He absorbed all the water and at first glance it seems that there is very little of it.

But as it heats up, with constant stirring, it begins to melt and completely turns into a translucent liquid. This means the gelatin is ready.

Put mayonnaise in the same bowl with boiling water and pour melted gelatin into it. Stir until smooth. You should get such a liquidish gelling mayonnaise.

Throughout the entire time of work, he should stand in a basin of warm water, this will prevent it from solidifying and will help us to work normally and not to rush.

Now do you understand why I distributed all the components in different containers? In order to make it more convenient to immediately mix them with jelly mayonnaise.

According to the original recipe, we must add 4 tablespoons of jelly to each ingredient and mix. On the way, I got 5-6 spoons, 4 were somehow not enough (I will say in advance that this expense was enough and even more was left).

I mix the beets with the gelling mayonnaise, stir well. The order of the layers in this recipe is interesting, they will not just go topsy-turvy and the beets will be our first, but in general the whole order differs from the traditional one. This is done to visually make the salad more beautiful, you will see for yourself later.

So, I spread the beets to the bottom, level them with a spoon, tamp them if possible. By analogy, I do the same with potatoes. We do not take it all at once, but divide it in half. The first half goes to beets.

The next layer is fish with onions and a gelling base. I also level and tamp with a spoon.

Then comes the second half of the potatoes, and grated carrots with jelly closes the list of layers. On top I cover it with another piece of cling film, level it additionally with my hands, put a cutting board on top to ensure even pressure.

And I put it in the refrigerator overnight. Or at least 4 hours. Tomorrow we'll see what happened.

So, the next day, I carefully take my herring bar out onto a large glass dish. The mold is silicone and it comes out of it very easily.

The first sensation is a complete delight at how bright and elegant it is! Look: a herring in the center, a bright hat and a beautiful orange carrot base, this arrangement of layers fully justifies itself.

Decorate with grated egg white and yolk, slices of figuratively cut cucumber, parsley and dill.

This option is incredibly beautiful, it is easy to cut it into slices of the desired size - convenient! And, of course, the taste ... It is quite traditional "herring-fur coat" in my opinion, it is practically not felt that it is jelly.

This is all the same our beloved herring with you, only in a new way. Great recipe! 😍

Herring salad cake under a fur coat in a new way

It is no coincidence that I put this option at the very end. Quite a laborious recipe that requires two circular split forms of different diameters.

Well, the result is accordingly delicious, look, on top is a bright and beautiful beet mousse, and inside is our favorite salad.

It all looks like a fruit and berry cake, gorgeous of course, but you have to work hard. Although, if you cook in the evening and insist at night, then everything can be done in time and surprise the guests!

Ingredients:

• Herring fillet - 1 pc.
• Boiled potatoes in their uniforms - 3 pcs.
• Large carrots - 1 pc.
• Onion - 1 piece small.
• 3-4 large beets.
• Gelatin - 20 gr.

1. Potatoes.
2. Herring.
3. Beet.
4. Carrot.
5. Beetroot jelly mousse.

First, we need two round split baking dishes of different diameters. And, look, what a thing: we take the bottom from the large form, and the walls from the small one. And we begin to lay out the layers of salad.

All ingredients for this option are diced. So the taste will be better felt, I tried and grate, but for some reason it seemed to me tastier with cubes. All layers will need to be lightly pressed with a spoon so that they lay down more tightly.

The first layer is potatoes with a fine mesh of mayonnaise.

Then diced herring.

The next onion and again a fine mesh of mayonnaise.

We put some of the beets inside the salad. In the same way, cut into cubes, like the rest of the components and lay out in a thin layer.

On top of it, a layer of carrots and again a little mayonnaise. In this form, we put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours to "grab".

Do you see about 1.5 cm of space left around? We will now pour the beet mousse there.

To make it, soak the gelatin in cold boiled water, when it swells, heat it in a water bath so that it completely dissolves and disperses. Peel the boiled beets and beat with a blender until they are mushy, add salt and pour in the gelatin. Stir the mousse well. And pour it into the free space around the salad and just above it so that it completely covers it.

Shake the mold gently for two minutes to distribute the mousse better and cover the filling more evenly. We put in the refrigerator overnight.

During this time, the gelatin will completely solidify. Remove the shape ring.

Then carefully remove the parchment paper. It turns out just super!

It looks like a cake indeed. We do not remove it from the pallet. It remains only to decorate with mayonnaise and herbs.

Guests will be simply stunned when they find that there is a favorite salad inside the "cake"! 😍

These are the recipes, dear friends. Take notes for your feast, choose. A herring is always a win-win and table decoration!

In general, I have a huge selection of salads on my site, take a look at least here: I hope your holiday will be unforgettable. Bon appetit and enjoy cooking.

We will tell you how to cook herring under a fur coat tasty and correct, but much faster than usual. You no longer have to wait 2-4 hours for the salad to infuse - this recipe will allow you to serve a juicy "fur coat" to the table in just 30-60 minutes, and if necessary, right after cooking.

• No, we are not proposing radical changes to the recipe. The secret is only to mix the mayonnaise with each ingredient separately, and not at the time of laying the salad in layers, as we usually do. As a result, you will get the same classic herring under a fur coat, only faster.

We have supplemented the step-by-step recipe for "fur coat" with a selection of photo ideas for a beautiful salad serving.

How to cook herring under a fur coat - step by step

Ingredients (for 3-4 servings):

• Beets - 1 pc.;
• Potatoes - 1 pc. ( potatoes and beets should be taken in equal quantities);
• Carrots - 1 pc. ( small);
• Egg - 1-2 pcs. ( needed rather for decoration);
• Mayonnaise - to taste ( about half a glass);
• Onion - 1/2 small onion ( about 50 g.);
• Herring - 1 pc. ( can be replaced with herring in oil 150-200 g.).

1. Boil beets, carrots, potatoes and eggs until tender, then cool. It is best to do this in the evening. All vegetables must be cooked in their uniforms.

• Beets are cooked from 35 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the tubers. How to tell if beets are cooked? Pierce it with a knife. If the blade easily goes through the peel, then it's time to get the vegetable. However, it is best not to boil the beets for salad, but to bake them in foil for 20-25 minutes at 190 degrees. This way you can save time and avoid staining the pan.
• Hard-boiled eggs are boiled for 10 minutes after boiling.
• Boil potatoes and carrots in the same saucepan. Cooking time - 20 minutes after boiling.

1. While the vegetables are cooking, cut up the herring and then cut it into cubes. The pieces of herring should not be too small, otherwise the chopped fish will turn into mashed potatoes.

How to cut a herring for a salad? Here's one way:

• Cut off the head and pectoral fins;
• Cut the abdomen with a knife from the head to the tail;
• Also, remove the caviar and offal with a knife, scrape off the black film;
• Pull the skin off the fish with your fingers;
• Holding the fish flat towards you, divide it into two parts by pulling the tail in different directions;
• Pull out the ridge and bones;
• Cut off the tails of two fillet halves.

If you don't want to mess around with cutting fish, you can buy herring in oil. In this case, the pieces of fish should be blotted with a paper towel to remove excess oil.

1. Peel and dice the boiled and cooled carrots and potatoes, grate the beets on a coarse grater, and the egg on a fine grater. Put each vegetable in a separate bowl (this is important!).
2. Chop the onion (quite finely) and mix with the herring. You can pepper the mixture a little.
3. Mix potatoes, carrots and beets with mayonnaise (to taste). We don't touch the eggs yet.

• We added a medium amount of mayonnaise (0.5 - 1 tablespoon in each bowl).
• Why mix each ingredient with mayonnaise? The fact is that this way the salad will soak much faster. If necessary, it can be served at all immediately after preparation.

1. We start to lay out the salad in layers in the following order:

• Potatoes;
• Herring with onions;
• Carrot;
• Beet;
• A layer of mayonnaise;
• Sprinkle with egg. Done! You can decorate the salad with a sprig of herbs or green peas.

Many people put herring in the first layer and carrots in the second. Of course, this is a matter of taste, but in our opinion, it is the combination of herring with potatoes makes the "fur coat" especially tasty!

If you have time, let the herring stand under a fur coat and soak for at least half an hour to achieve maximum juiciness. If there is no time, feel free to serve the salad to the table, because each layer of it is already mixed with mayonnaise.

And here is our recipe in video format:

Important nuances

• If you have a lot of time left, then you can cook the Herring under a fur coat salad in the usual way. Put the chopped ingredients in layers in the following order: potatoes, onions, herring, mayonnaise, carrots, onions, herring, potatoes, onions, herring, mayonnaise, etc. (if there are still vegetables left). Then evenly spread the beets on the salad, coat it with mayonnaise, sprinkle with grated egg. The most important thing in this recipe for herring under a fur coat is to let the salad brew for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator.
• You can add a little grated apple to the salad (a third or half for 200 g of herring). The apple layer is stacked after the carrot layer.
• If the onion is too vigorous, scald it with boiling water.
• If the herring is too salty, add more potatoes to the salad.

Ways and ideas for a beautiful presentation of herring under a fur coat

How beautiful to serve herring under a fur coat? This can be done in different ways:

• Portions. The salad is laid out in bowls, bowls, glasses and even in small jars. Here are some photo ideas.

Also, portions of salad can be served with "turrets" formed with a plastic ring cut from the bottle.

• Roll. To cook herring under a fur coat roll, you need to cover a large cutting board with cling film, put the layers on it in the reverse order (starting with the beets), lay the herring in the center, then roll the resulting rectangular pillow into a roll. For a detailed recipe, see this video tutorial.

• On toast. Herring goes well with rye bread. Why not serve it as an appetizer on toast? It is convenient and uncommon.

• On a platter without walls. It can be a pretty dish, a tray, a cake dish, or just a large plate. You can "collect" the salad in a baking dish both without a bottom and with a bottom (in this case, the layers are stacked in reverse order, starting with the beets).

If you have an unusual baking dish (you can buy it on Aliexpress), use it for an unusual serving of herring under a fur coat. For example, you can make a fish-shaped salad.

To keep the herring under a fur coat in shape, its top layer is prepared with jelly.

• In a platter with walls, a lasagne dish, a roaster. Such a feed is the most convenient and simplest way. It is especially suitable for preparing herring under a fur coat for future use, as well as for a feast with a large number of guests.
