We offer you to cook the well-known Herring under a fur coat salad with egg, which was an indispensable part of any feast in its time. Nowadays, there are many different variations of preparation, but we will return to the classic and beloved version. Usually, the salad uses a whole herring, which is then filleted. But there is not always time for this, so you can use ready-made fillets.
Prepare the specified ingredients. Beets, potatoes, and carrots need to be boiled in advance. To do this, wash them and, without peeling, put them in a pot with cold water. Cook until tender after boiling. It is preferable to cook beets in a separate pot, as they take much longer to cook than other vegetables. Eggs should also be hard-boiled.
Cut the herring fillets into small pieces and place them on a plate. Finely chop the onion and spread it in a thin layer on top. If your onion is too pungent, you can scald it with boiling water beforehand. Spread mayonnaise on this layer and each subsequent layer.
