Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Fish under a fur coat salad? Prepare your food. It will be more convenient and faster to use ready-made herring fillets. But you can also cut the fish yourself. Rinse beets, carrots and potatoes well under running water with a brush.

Step 2

Step 2
Dry the herring fillet with a paper towel and cut into small pieces. You can use fresh salted fish or canned fish in oil. I used marinated in oil. Carefully select any bones if they are left in the fillet.

Step 3

Step 3
How to cook vegetables? Cook beets and carrots with potatoes in different pans in boiling water until tender. It takes 15-20 minutes to cook potatoes and carrots. Cooking beets takes 1-1.5 hours, depending on their size. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it should easily pierce the root vegetable. Drain the water and cool the vegetables. Peel the cooled potatoes, carrots and beets. Grate them separately on a medium grater.

Step 4

Step 4
How to hard boil eggs? To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change. Also grate the cooled eggs on a medium grater.

Step 5

Step 5
Place a layer of herring on a serving dish and smooth it out. Spread mayonnaise on top. I piped from a piping bag with a closed star tip so as not to disturb the layer, which usually happens when frosting with a regular spoon.

Step 6

Step 6
Next, lay out a layer of boiled potatoes, which also coat with mayonnaise.

Step 7

Step 7
Then come carrots and mayonnaise.

Step 8

Step 8
Place eggs in the next layer and pour mayonnaise over them too.

Step 9

Step 9
The top and last layer is beets.

Step 10

Step 10
Make a mesh of mayonnaise on top or simply apply mayonnaise and spread it with a spoon so that the mayonnaise turns pink. Place the finished salad in the refrigerator for 1.5 hours to soak. Then you can serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
