Today, rarely a feast is complete without herring under a fur coat. The recipe for this dish includes classic products, but even a simple shift in the order of layers slightly changes its taste. If we make herring under a fur coat even with closed eyes, it makes sense to try, to change something in its preparation.

Classic recipe

For young housewives or those who did not make this salad with their own hands, a step-by-step recipe with a photo.

Ingredients:

• 1 lightly salted herring;
• 1 PC. onions;
• 2-3 pcs. medium-sized potatoes;
• 1-2 pcs. carrots;
• 3 chicken eggs;
• 1 beet;
• mayonnaise to taste (dessert is not suitable).

Cooking method:

We wash and boil beets, carrots, potatoes and eggs

• We clean the carcass from the entrails and head.
• We separate the ridge from the fillet, remove the skin from the fish and take out all the small bones.

• Cut the herring into small pieces.
• Remove the husk from the onion and chop it.

• Peeled, boiled vegetables and eggs, rub into a separate bowl on a coarse grater.
• We take a plate and cover the bottom with herring.
• Cover it with onions and lightly sprinkle with vinegar or lemon juice.

The next layer, potato, we coat it with mayonnaise

• Salt and pepper each vegetables, but this is optional.
• Then cover it with carrots and cover it with eggs.

Finally, lay out the beets and soak well with mayonnaise

Decorate with grated yolk and herbs. We store the dish in the refrigerator

Advice! It is better to peel boiled potatoes hot, but beets and carrots are easier to peel when chilled.

Recipe with the addition of pickled onions

We make herring under a fur coat using a culinary ring. A dish prepared in this way has a purely artistic look. We arrange the products according to the classic recipe for the order of layers, trampling each one a little.

Ingredients:

• 300 g herring fillet;
• 3 pcs. potatoes;
• 1 large carrot;
• 3 pcs. chicken eggs;
• 2 pcs. beets;
• 1 large onion;
• thick mayonnaise, to taste;
• 1 tsp Sahara;
• lemon juice.

Cooking method:

1. We wash tubers, vegetable roots and eggs well.
2. We boil them in different pans, carrots and potatoes can be together.
3. Chop the peeled onion into cubes, transfer to a plate.
4. Add sugar and lemon juice to it, mix and leave to marinate for 30 minutes. If it stands a little longer, it will only taste better.
5. Cut the herring into small pieces.
6. We clean the boiled vegetables and eggs, put them on a coarse grater. We put everything in a separate dish.
7. We take a culinary ring, put it on a plate and trample potatoes into it.
8. Put the herring on top together with the marinade, the bottom vegetable layer will absorb it and will be very juicy.
9. Then we lay a layer of carrots, and more eggs.
10. Finally, add the beets and spread the mayonnaise on the dish.
11. Decorate with sprigs of herbs, grated egg and serve.

As you can see, sometimes the order of layers can be changed, and this will only improve the taste.

Apple and cheese recipe

Such a herring under a fur coat can be made in the form of a cake as in the photo, or in glasses.

Ingredients:

• 350 g herring fillet;
• 3 potato tubers;
• 2 carrots;
• 2 beets;
• 1 PC. onions;
• 150 g of hard cheese;
• 1 apple, preferably sour;
• 2 chicken eggs;
• mayonnaise to taste;
• greens for decoration.

Cooking method:

• We set the washed vegetables, except for onions, to boil.
• Cook eggs and beets in separate pans.
• If there is skin or bones on the herring fillet, remove them, cut the flesh into cubes.

• Finely chop the peeled onion.
• Boiled, cooled vegetables and eggs, clean, rub on a coarse grater in separate containers.

On different plates, grind the apple and cheese in the same way (1 tbsp. L. Set aside for decoration)

• We cover the bottom of the dishes with potatoes, put herring on top of it.
• The onion goes to the herring, as expected. For taste, add an apple and sprinkle with lemon juice.

• Now we coat with mayonnaise, and cover it with carrots.
• Top with cheese and eggs.

• Salt and pepper each layer of vegetables if desired.
• Covering the beet layer, cover it with mayonnaise and sprinkle with cheese.

We decorate with flowers from vegetables, we make leaves from fresh herbs

Advice! When we set the eggs to boil, be sure to add salt. If the shell bursts, the brine will prevent it from flowing into the water.

How to make a herring under a cake-like fur coat:

1. We take a round or rectangular shape, this is optional. We cover it with cling film, and put the ingredients there in the reverse order.
2. We start with herring, etc.
3. Then cover the prepared dish with a plate, turn it upside down. Remove the form and film from the "cake".

It remains only to spread with mayonnaise and decorate, as far as imagination is enough, and the photo will prompt the idea.

Recipe with baked vegetables

The principle of operation is the same, only the products are cooked differently, saturating the dish with a special taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 herring;
• 2 beets;
• 1 carrot;
• 3 potato tubers;
• 1 onion;
• 150 g of cheese;
• mayonnaise to taste.

Cooking method:

1. We wash beets, carrots and potatoes.
2. After drying a little, put on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until tender.
3. When the vegetables have cooled, peel and rub on a coarse grater, put on separate plates.
4. We clean the fish from the head and entrails, separate the ridge and bones from its fillet and cut into strips.
5. Chop the peeled onion into cubes.
6. Pass the cheese through a coarse grater.
7. Put potatoes on a plate, herring on top, then onions and pour a little vinegar or lemon juice.
8. Cover with carrots and finally beets.
9. Saturate with mayonnaise and decorate.

As you can see, all the ingredients are almost the same, in a word, classic recipes. We change the order of the layers a little, you can add mushrooms or experiment with other products. You can't cover everything interesting in a few recipes.
