I boil the vegetables in a large saucepan. Beets take the longest to cook – 1.5-2 hours. I boil the eggs in a small bowl. I boil it hard, 8-9 minutes after the water boils.

I try to cool boiled foods faster. To do this, I fill it with cold tap water. Let it cool for a few minutes.

While the ingredients are cooling, I peel and peel the onions. I chop it finely. I transfer it to a separate plate.

I cut the salted herring fillet, pitted, into small cubes. I put it aside.

Using a vegetable grinder, I chop the remaining ingredients. I put it on different plates.

I take a nice, flat salad bowl. I'm starting to assemble. Here is the correct sequence of layers in order. The first one is made from a part of grated potatoes. Next, I carefully lay out the chopped fish and sprinkle with onions.

The sauce of sour cream and low-fat mayonnaise, mixed in a separate plate, is evenly applied over the onion in the form of a neat mesh.

I lay out the grated eggs (except for 1 yolk), then the carrots.

I make a sour cream-mayonnaise mesh again and add the remaining potatoes. Then I transfer the beets grated on a coarse grater. I carefully compact it along the edges and give it a nice shape.

Spread plenty of cold sauce on top. I wipe the edges with kitchen napkins to remove excess sour cream and mayonnaise and make the homemade salad more elegant.

I make a beautiful decoration on top using the remaining egg yolk and bunches of parsley.

Bon appetit!

4. I take a clean pan, pour water, add gelatin. I leave it alone for 50-60 seconds, allowing it to swell. I turn on the stove, heat the liquid, stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. I leave it to cool. I mix the resulting mass with mayonnaise. I add a little salt and ground black pepper.
5. I grate each vegetable. To make it easier to turn the salad over, I first cover the bottom of the plate with cling film. I lay out the herring ingredients under the fur coat in layers, adding a mixture of gelatin and mayonnaise, as in the Pomegranate Bracelet salad.
6. “Assemble” the salad in the following order (including subsequent turning): potatoes, beets, fish with onions, carrots, potatoes again.

If we discard all the legends and rumors associated with “Soviet” salads, and just look at the salad or salad “herring under a fur coat” (or simply “fur coat”) from a practical point of view, it turns out that not everything is so complicated.

Our compatriots, since the times of socialist construction, have had Olivier salad, herring under a fur coat, and pickled mushrooms as almost an obligatory component of the festive table.

As my friend says, it’s nice to eat herring under a fur coat, and it’s nice to sleep in Olivier salad. Although, if you think about it, persistent people never sleep in salad, but only in dessert.

When talking about the famous salad, they usually tell a sweet legend about the chef Aristarkh Prokoptsev. I don’t know if it’s true that everything in a salad symbolizes something, but a salad of all sorts of symbols has taken root perfectly. They even talk about some classic options, mandatory ones, etc.

The salad, like the “Soviet” Olivier, is prepared by everyone in their own way, unique and always tasty. Being a salad, not even just a salad, but a layered salad, the trail under a fur coat is somewhat similar to, and the dressing and eggs are similar to egg salad.

Herring under a Fur Coat. Step by step recipe

Ingredients (4 servings)

• Lightly salted herring 1 PC
• Onion 1 piece
• Potatoes 1-2 pcs
• Carrot 1 piece
• Eggs 3 pcs
• Apple 1 piece
• Beetroot 1 piece
• Mayonnaise to taste

1. The number of ingredients for this salad is whatever your heart desires! But, usually, you should adhere to a simple rule for the recipe for herring under a fur coat: for one herring - one small onion, a large potato (or 2-3 small ones), a medium carrot, 3 eggs, one large sweet and sour apple, one or two large beets . Or better yet, two herrings...

   Vegetables for herring under a fur coat

2. Vegetables: potatoes, beets, carrots - boil or bake. I usually boil carrots and bake beets and potatoes.
3. Hard-boil the eggs, cool them in running water and peel them.
4. Peel the apples.
5. Grate vegetables, apples and eggs onto a coarse grater into separate bowls, without mixing.

   Grate vegetables, apples and eggs onto a coarse grater into separate bowls, without mixing

6. Peel the onion and chop finely. Many people use green onions, but I don’t like it, the taste of green onions “spoils” the salad. It is best to take “sweet” onions for the salad - Yalta, lettuce white.
7. Clean the herring from fins, skin, entrails, cut off the tail and head. Divide into two fillets. Further, as my friend says, there is a simple but interesting job. Almost a quest! It is necessary to remove absolutely all bones from the fillet - rib bones, vertebral bones, thin bones in the back, etc. The more carefully this is done, the more pleasant it will be to eat. Finely chop the herring with a knife, or, even cooler, pinch it into pieces with your fingers. If you have nothing to do, do it. This is much more interesting, but takes a lot of time.

   Finely chop the herring with a knife

8. Jokes aside, but herring has always been the most “proletarian” food. Always means always. Salted, lightly salted or smoked Atlantic herring, in barrels or tins, was one of the few products available at any time in stores about 40 years ago. Vegetables, unlike meat, were also available. There were some difficulties with mayonnaise, but in the end, mayonnaise is easy to make.
9. For some reason I remember this salad from early childhood. It was rarely called by its full name, usually they simply said it - fur coat. And out of spite, I called this salad “coat”, and usually waited for the “collar” from the fur coat the next day, for breakfast.
10. What I like about “shuba” is that you can cook a lot of it and eat it for a long time. After standing in the refrigerator for a day, the herring under a fur coat only becomes tastier, soaked in mayonnaise, juices and aroma.
11. Fur coat can be prepared either in portions - in vases, or on a large platter. I even saw a huge plastic trough with a fur coat. So everything is in your hands.
12. There are a lot of arguments, sometimes to the point of hoarseness and fists. What ingredients are unnecessary? Is it necessary to coat all layers with mayonnaise? What is the order of the layers?
13. You can coat each layer with mayonnaise. But it’s easier to put all the ingredients in a bowl, pour a liter of mayonnaise into it and mix. Why liter? Yes, because it would take 6-7 layers of salad - exactly 3-4 packs of mayonnaise. And even more. Just a liter. And your herring will “swim away.” Both the aroma and the taste will definitely be mayonnaise.
14. The most difficult question, and the most interesting, is how to arrange the layers.
15. Considering that the name of the salad comes first with herring. They often write - potatoes first. Sorry, we have “under a fur coat”, not in a fur coat.
16. Herring is an excellent snack even on its own. And it tastes even better with onions! And a little oil. Yes, with baked potatoes, or boiled “in their jackets”! Here they tell me that I can finish writing, the recipe has been written off.
17. Herring, onion, potato. Here is the order of the first layers of salad.

    Herring, onion

18. Usually the potato layer is the thickest in a salad, so it’s worth spreading mayonnaise on the potatoes. Without going too far, too much mayonnaise in a juicy salad is not good.

    Usually the potato layer is the thickest in a salad, so it’s worth spreading mayonnaise on the potatoes

19. Let’s take a break from the “fur coat” for a second and remember about our other no less traditional salad - Olivier. Remember? Onions, potatoes, carrots, eggs... Let's not invent, we have the following layers, as it is written.
20. So: herring, onions, potatoes, carrots, eggs.

    So: herring, onions, potatoes, carrots, eggs

21. Pickled cucumber is added to Olivier. But, excuse me, we won’t eat herring with cucumbers! But you need to add sourness to the salad. A ripe sweet and sour apple will perfectly complement the taste of a fur coat. Many people ignore the apple in a fur coat, and lose a lot. By the way, apples tend to “darken” in the air, so you need to cook and grate the apples immediately before laying the layer.

    A ripe sweet and sour apple will perfectly complement the taste of a fur coat

22. The actual “lining” of the fur coat is ready! All that remains is to sew on the top. The top of the fur coat is always beetroot, dark, “shaggy”, like the fur on a good expensive fur coat. Don't be greedy, make the top thicker.
23. And spread with mayonnaise, without being greedy either! And then wipe the edge with a napkin, because... mayonnaise tends to leak from the plate.

    

Salad “Herring under a fur coat” is a traditional dish, without which it is difficult to imagine any holiday. Without it, even with Olivier, it’s like the table is empty. I also really like to eat this salad, but somehow I didn’t really like to cook it. Due to the presence of many thin bones in herring.

At home we always make the classic recipe for this salad without eggs. And while visiting a friend, I tried this salad in a roll and with ingredients that were unusual for me. On the eve of the holidays, I want to add several delicious recipes for this salad to my culinary repertoire.

“Herring under a fur coat”: classic recipe and all layers

By the way, in winter and summer, even by preparing the same recipe, you can get different tastes from this salad. This depends on the fact that in the summer the herring salt solution is made more saturated so that it does not spoil during transportation at elevated temperatures. In winter it is less salty and you can really feel it.

If you buy preserves for salad, then remember that herring is stored only in oil; it should not be in vinegar dressing. If there is one on store shelves, perhaps they are trying to hide something from you. It is better to choose in oil with herbs.

Ingredients:

• 2 herrings
• 2 carrots
• 2 beets
• 2 potatoes
• Mayonnaise

We clean and chop the herring.

Boil the vegetables in advance until tender.

We will cook without onions, because the salad may sit in the refrigerator for a while, and the onions will quickly begin to deteriorate.

It is better to grate vegetables rather than cut them, so the salad will be more uniform and tender.

Now we begin to lay out the layers in order, they may vary a little, but usually they do it as written below.

1st row (layer): Herring.

Row 2: potatoes and mayonnaise.

After the beets, each subsequent layer is a centimeter smaller than the previous one, so that the products do not fall out of the roll.

1st row or layer: grated boiled beets and mayonnaise.

Row 2: salted boiled carrots with mayonnaise.

“Herring under a fur coat”: a classic recipe with an apple and all the layers in order

An apple adds variety to the salad. You need to choose a firm, juicy green variety. Some of the apples squeeze out the juice a little more, but I think this is unnecessary. So just peel it and juice it.

Ingredients:

• 1 carrot
• 1 herring
• 1 sour apple
• 1 potato
• 3 eggs
• 2 beets
• Mayonnaise
• Lemon juice

Boil the vegetables or bake them in the oven in foil.

Fourth layer: eggs with mayonnaise.

Place carrots with mayonnaise in the fifth row.

Finishing layer: grated beets.

Decorate with parsley, green onions, eggs.

“Herring under a fur coat” in lavash, here is a recipe with a photo

I often see this salad as an appetizer. Then a piece of herring is placed on top. But you need to cook it before serving so that the pita bread does not become soggy from juices and mayonnaise. You need to cut the lavash with filling thicker, 3-4 centimeters, then it will be more stable and the filling will not fall out of the layers.

Ingredients:

• 1 large boiled beet
• 1 herring
• 1 thin pita bread
• 1 boiled carrot
• 3 medium potatoes
• Mayonnaise

To avoid painting the entire kitchen beetroot color, we will use cling film. Cut the lavash into 2 parts. If you have a large one, then you can divide it into four.

Let's unfold the lavash onto it. It is very dry, so we will grease it with a couple of spoons of mayonnaise.

Place the grated beets on the pita bread and be sure to press it down a little with your hands.

Another layer of pita bread on top.

We remember that we fatten its surface with mayonnaise, on top of which we place grated carrots.

Again a layer of pita bread and mayonnaise, on which we will place grated potatoes.

Now we roll up our entire “cake” and tie it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator.

We didn’t put herring in it, because we would cut it into portions for each piece of pita bread with salad.

But you can put it between carrots and potatoes in a middle layer.

“Herring under a fur coat” with cheese

Here we have no carrots, no onions, no eggs. Let's make a simpler variation of the salad. But it still turns out very nutritious and tender.
Each product can be mixed separately in plates with mayonnaise or sour cream to make it more convenient to lay out and spread on the surface.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 small boiled beets
• 2 medium boiled potatoes
• 1 herring
• Mayonnaise
• 150 g cheese

First row, mix the grated beets with mayonnaise.

Second row: grated cheese and mayonnaise.

Third row: herring cubes with mayonnaise.

Fourth row: potatoes with mayonnaise sauce.

Very carefully turn the salad onto a flat plate.

Decorate with herbs and mayonnaise mesh.

Recipe for “Herring under a fur coat” with pickles: arrange the layers correctly to make it very tasty

Another interesting option is to use pickles. The spiciness and sweetness of the salad depends on them.

Ingredients:

• 2 salted or pickled cucumbers
• 1 herring
• 1 beet
• 1 carrot
• 1 potato
• Mayonnaise

As we did before: boil and chop everything that can be boiled.

It’s tastier to place potatoes with mayonnaise in the first row. To make it tastier, add salt and pepper to this layer.

We evenly lay out pieces of salted or pickled cucumber on it. Definitely soak it in.

Soak the top with mayonnaise sauce.

Salad “Herring under a fur coat” with pickled onions

Sourness has never been a problem in such nutritious salad compositions. It is often added using pickled cucumber, but you can add pickled onion instead. It is either placed directly on the herring, or mixed separately with the herring and then laid out.

It’s better to lay out the potatoes first so that the onion juice and mayonnaise coat them and they won’t be too dry in the salad.

Ingredients:

• 1 onion
• 1 herring
• 1 large boiled beet
• 2 medium potatoes
• 2 boiled chicken eggs

My dears, I think that everyone has found options for the traditional salad. I would like to hear what else you add to the Herring recipe to get even brighter flavor combinations.

You can also decorate in different ways. All greens, peas and corn, eggs, herring slices and cucumber are used.

One of the most important dishes of any New Year's holiday table is puff salad, herring under a fur coat. According to the classic recipe, it is prepared in layers soaked in mayonnaise from: potatoes, onions, carrots, beets and of course the herring itself. There are various variations of this dish with the addition of apple or cheese, but today we will prepare that classic herring under a fur coat that we have known since childhood.

The main ingredient is, of course, the herring itself or its fillet. I prefer to use, so to speak, a natural product rather than a semi-finished product, because the more effort and soul you put into a 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 jackets 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.

Place potatoes as 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 it is necessary to make a small clarification, if you use a little mayonnaise, then the layers: potatoes, carrots and beets need to be slightly salted - I did just that.

Place finely chopped onions on a potato bed and also coat with mayonnaise.

The next layer is the cooked herring fillet, which must be distributed over the onion in an even layer.

Grate the boiled carrots, as well as the potatoes, on a medium grater, place them on top of the herring and coat with mayonnaise.

The final layer is grated beets, which also need to be soaked in mayonnaise and leveled as in the photo. For leveling, it is best to use a regular tablespoon. If desired, the classic salad Herring under a fur coat is decorated with chopped or grated boiled eggs, as well as chopped fresh herbs.

So we have prepared our very real herring under a fur coat, which is not a shame to serve at any holiday table, and especially on the New Year. Bon appetit!
