Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make herring under a fur coat with an egg? Prepare your food. You can take the herring in the form of ready-made fillets, it will be more convenient and faster. Rinse the vegetables thoroughly to remove any dirt. Then boil the beets and potatoes in separate pans in boiling water until tender. It takes 15-20 minutes to cook the potatoes. Cooking beets takes 1-1.5 hours, depending on their size. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it should easily pierce the root vegetable.

Step 2
Boil the eggs as well. 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. Cool and peel the cooled eggs, potatoes and beets.

Step 3
Peel the onion, rinse in cold water and finely chop. Place the chopped onion in a deep plate and pour 9% vinegar over it. Leave the onion to marinate for 10-15 minutes. Then drain the vinegar and rinse the onion once in cold water. Pickled onions add a unique flavor and aroma to the finished salad. But you can use the onions immediately, without pickling.

Salad "Herring under a fur coat" is traditionally laid out in layers. Iʼll use a cooking ring. Grate the potatoes on a coarse grater and place the first layer on the bottom of the mold. Press down a little with a press or spoon. Spread a layer of potatoes with a small amount of mayonnaise.

Finely chop the herring fillet. If you have a whole fish, first gut it and fillet it. How to properly fillet a whole fish? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut along the ridge of the carcass to the spine. Turn over onto its side. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat from the spinal bone. Turn the carcass over and cut off the fillet on the other side. Clean the inside, removing the black film, as it is bitter and will spoil the taste. Rinse and dry well.
