Serve the dish beautifully in a transparent salad bowl. In this version of the herring design, all the layers in order are visible under the fur coat.

You can serve the appetizer in portions. To do this, it is convenient to use the culinary ring. If it is not available, take a bottle of mineral water, cut out a ring.

Press down firmly while cooking to make it easier to remove from the serving ring.

To create a beautiful-looking salad, resourceful housewives use a split cake pan. The location of all layers is clearly visible. On the festive table, it takes the form of a cake and decorates the table. The salad looks original, laid out on a dish in the form of a rectangle or square.

Herring under a fur coat, cooked according to a classic recipe with an egg, rolled into a roll will certainly delight the guests. For this design option, all products are collected on cling film and arranged in reverse order. This means that the first layer will be beetroot. Herring, unlike the classic version, does not need to be distributed over the entire surface, but put the entire portion only in the center. Then, gently pressing with your hands, roll it into a roll shape. Without removing the film, let it brew for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Then they remove the film and decorate the festive table with a beautiful dish.

A less common option is to serve in large red wine glasses. This portioned version looks amazing. All layers are clearly visible, causing an appetite and a desire to taste a colorful dish sooner.

How to decorate a herring under a fur coat

The classic option for decorating a dish is mayonnaise applied with a mesh over a layer of beetroot. Sometimes garnished with grated egg or chopped herbs. Use tomatoes, cucumbers, onion rings or olives. There are many options for giving a beautiful, unique look to a familiar dish. Of course, you will have to spend more time and effort, but the result is worth it.

You can use regular cookie cutters for decoration. Cut animals out of any food, making children happy.

With the help of mayonnaise, a trunk is drawn, slices of olives add the image of a birch, and parsley serves as leaves. Using caviar and mayonnaise, you get very beautiful fish. You can simulate a real aquarium by adding dill algae.

If you have a silicone mold for a cake with a beautiful pattern, for example, a rose or a bear, use it, you will not regret it. When you flip the salad onto a platter, it will take on a shape and look like a cake.

It is very easy to shape the fish. Make the scales from beetroot, onions, carrots cut into rings.

Flowers are made from boiled beetroot and carrots, laid out on a net painted with mayonnaise. Parsley leaves are ideal for flower foliage. For the new year, it is beautiful to decorate with a clock on which the hands point to twelve o'clock. To do this, spread the mayonnaise evenly over the beetroot layer. Cut out Roman numerals and arrows from boiled carrots. Arrange in the desired order. This dish is placed in the center of the festive table. Numbers and arrows should not be drawn with mayonnaise, because they will surely turn red beetroot.

In order for a herring under a fur coat, cooked according to the classic recipe in layers, to be tasty, you need to know some points:

1. Choose strong potatoes that do not become watery during cooking. Incorrectly selected potatoes will turn into mashed potatoes and spoil the taste of the dish. Many people boil peeled potatoes - this is wrong, it is worth cooking only in their uniform.
2. Burak, which has white veins in the section, is not suitable for salad. Also, do not use forage varieties. A burgundy beetroot with a sweet aftertaste is ideal. It is worth stopping your choice on medium-sized fruits.
3. Carrots should be sweet, without bitterness. Medium in size, crisp and firm.
4. If possible, purchase eggs from farmers. They differ in appearance from store-bought eggs, in their rich yolk, which will decorate the salad with their appearance.
5. Choose fat, slightly salted herring. Salted fish will oversalt the appetizer.
6. Use fatty mayonnaise. With a low percentage of fat, the mayonnaise is too runny and will not be able to saturate the layers well.
7. Onions are always soaked in water or pickled. This softens the harsh onion flavor. They are always placed over the herring.
8. Cutting the ingredients into cubes is not worth it, grated ones give a mild taste to the salad and are well soaked.
9. If you use ready-made slightly salted herring fillet, do not throw away the oil, pour on top of the potatoes and get a rich and delicate taste.
10. To give a piquant taste with a slight sourness, add an apple, rub it on a coarse grater. A finely grated apple gives off a lot of juice and can ruin the dish.
11. Before starting to form the salad, brush a plate with sunflower oil.
12. Coat the layers well with mayonnaise, otherwise the salad will be dry.
13. Do not use herring if it has a yellowish tinge or foreign odors, which means the fish was stored improperly and possibly spoiled.

Did you know:

Why is the salad named “Herring under a fur coat” and what does “FUR COAT” 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".

Beetroot 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.

Why has this salad become classic and New Year's? It was first served on New Year's Eve 1919. "Live and learn…"

• Big apple
• Marinade vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Salt and pepper
• Bunch of dill
• And necessarily, mayonnaise

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, onions, potatoes, mayonnaise, apple, carrots, beets, mayonnaise. Decorate with dill.

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

So let's start:

1. As in the classic version - boil all vegetables "in their uniforms". Simultaneously boil eggs and remove bones from herring.
2. Cool the boiled vegetables and eggs and place them in the refrigerator for a while (1-2 hours).
3. Finely chop the onion and mix with the fish.

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 are 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. For smoothing, it is best to use a regular tablespoon.

Now carefully, holding the edges of the film on both sides (it is better for someone to help you at the moment), roll all our layers into a roll (with a little effort).

Wrap the edges of the film. Now you need to wrap the roll in foil and put it in the refrigerator for several hours.
Cut with a sharp knife.

My comments.

• It would be nice to put finely chopped dill on the film with the very first layer (up to the beets) (this is for beauty, and it’s delicious).
• It is better not to cut the herring fillet into pieces, but cut into long strips along the length (this will be more convenient when cutting portioned pieces).
• Be sure to add some salt to the beet, potato and carrot layers.

The originality of this salad, in addition to the fox fur coat, is also given by the mushrooms that are part of it, which, according to the principle of “do not spoil the porridge with oil,” add their characteristic aroma to the salad.

Recipe 5: lazy herring under a fur coat

Purchased herring in jars is not always tasty. Then I make a salad like this

• Beets (boiled) - 2 pieces
• Herring (how much to eat, from a jar or salted)
• Mayonnaise (to taste)

Peel and grate the boiled beets.

Finely chop the herring. If it is from a jar, then it is good to drain the brine or marinade.

Stir the herring with the beets.

Season with mayonnaise to taste. Of course, this salad did not stand next to a real herring "under a fur coat", but at work or outdoors it leaves very quickly.

Recipe 6: the original herring under a fur coat from Ulrika

This recipe has been in our family for as long as I can remember, so to speak, the taste of childhood. It is juicy and not as greasy as usual, and the top layer is not the usual beet, but the yolk.
The recipe went to my mother in the 80s, she then did not like the usual “Fur coat”, and the employee treated her to hers and said that “even those who don’t like herring eat my fur coat!”
Oh, how right she was!

So, more to the point, let's get started:

1 layer: Finely cut herring -1 medium into cubes,

Layer 2: onion - finely chop, and now grease not with mayonnaise, as everyone is used to, but marinade(0.5-1 tsp of ready-made mustard, a little sugar, 0.5-1 tsp of vinegar 9% and 1 tbsp of refined sunflower oil - mix everything thoroughly), try and adjust the advice marinade to your taste, since both mustard and vinegar are different, a little sharper, a little sour ...

3 layer: boiled potatoes in a uniform -2pcs-three on a vegetable grater and again grease not with mayonnaise, but slightly odorless sunflower oil,

4th layer: boiled beets -1 pc - on a vegetable grater - grease with mayonnaise,

5 layer: raw carrots -1 pcs three on a fine grater, greased with mayonnaise,

6 layer: 1 apple (ideally Simerenka) or another sour - three on a vegetable grater, mayonnaise on top,

7 layer: whites of 2 eggs on a coarse grater, svehu mayonnaise,

Layer 8: yolks of 2 eggs on a fine grater. Do not lubricate with anything.

It is insisted for at least a couple of hours, better is the night in the refrigerator, everything can be enjoyed

Tip: if the vegetables are too juicy: beets, carrots or an apple, it is better to remove excess juice, in puff salads, it can give wateriness. I rub such vegetables in a separate bowl, if they let the juice go, this can be seen already for a minute or two. I never salt the vegetables in the salad itself (but only during cooking), mayonnaise is enough for me. Salt also contributes to such incidents.

The same goes for the rest of the vegetables - carrots and beets. Ideally, all vegetables come from your home garden, however store products are great.
