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

Ingredients (for 3-4 servings):

Beet - 1 PC.;
Potato - 1 PC. (potatoes and beets need to be taken in equal amounts);
Carrot - 1 PC. (small);
Egg - 1-2 pcs. (needed rather for decoration);
Mayonnaise - taste (about half a glass);
Bow - 1/2 small onion (about 50 g);
Herring - 1 PC. (can be replaced with herring in oil 150-200 g).

Recipe:

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 uniform.

Beets cooked from 35 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size of the tubers. How to determine that the beets cooked? Pierce it with a knife. If the blade passes easily through the peel, then it's time to get the vegetable. However, it is best not to cook beets for salad, but bake in foil for 20-25 minutes at 190 degrees. So you can save time and avoid staining the pan.
Hard boiled eggs are boiled for 10 minutes after boiling.
Potatoes and carrots can be boiled in one pan. Cooking time - 20 minutes after boiling.

While the vegetables are boiling, cut up the herring, and then cut it into cubes. Pieces of herring should not be too small, otherwise the chopped fish will turn into puree.

How to cut herring for salad? Here is one way:

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

If you don’t feel like messing about with fish, you can buy herring in oil. In this case, pieces of fish should be blotted with a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Boiled and cooled carrots and potatoes, peel and cut into cubes, rub the beets on a coarse grater, and egg - in small. Each vegetable is put in a separate bowl (this is important!).
Chop the onion (rather finely) and mix it with the herring. Mixture can be a little pepper.
Mix potatoes, carrots and beets with mayonnaise (to taste). Eggs do not touch yet.

We added an average amount of mayonnaise (0.5 - 1 tbsp. Spoons in each bowl).
Why do you need to mix each ingredient with mayonnaise? The fact is that this way the salad gets soaked much faster. If necessary, it can be served at all to the table immediately after preparation.

Begin to lay out the salad layers in the following order:

Potatoes;
Herring with onions;
Carrot;
Beet;
Mayonnaise layer;
Sprinkle with egg. Done! Salad can be decorated with a sprig of greens or green peas.

Many put the herring in the first layer, and the carrot in the second. Of course, this is a matter of taste, but in our opinion The combination of herring and potatoes makes the “fur coat” especially delicious!

If you have time, let herring under a fur coat stand 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 is already mixed with mayonnaise.
