Decorating the finished dish

Most housewives decorate the appetizer with a mayonnaise mesh, but the dish will turn out more festive if its top is decorated with roses, as in the photo of the finished herring under a fur coat. Small boiled beets cut with a thin small knife in a circle, making something like a snake out of it. Wrap it in a rose bud and place it on the salad. Make leaves from parsley.

Use grated egg yolks to add some color to the appetizer. Olive rings will also make a colorful accent in holiday dish. The originality of the decoration depends only on your imagination.

Taste ready-made dish directly depends on the quality of the products. When choosing the main ingredient for a snack - herring, take into account its freshness, fat content, and degree of salinity. It is better that it is fatty and moderately salty. When buying fish, give preference to the whole carcass rather than preserved fillet pieces.
Pay attention to the brine in the barrel: cloudy color and bad smell should discourage you from purchasing such a product. Fresh fish is smooth to the touch without visible damage (cracks, cuts).
Do you want to buy herring with caviar? Choose fish with cloudy eyes, while herring with reddish eyes will be fattier and meatier. The main indicator of fish freshness is the condition of the gills. Fresh herring has a dark red hue, a dense consistency, and no bitter, rotten odor.

• Grate the vegetables directly onto the plate on which you are constructing the appetizer. This will make the dish more airy and delicate in taste.
• Use carrots and beets in equal proportions, and double the amount of potatoes.
• Buy only whole herring from a barrel, and not preserved fillets, so that the snack is truly tasty and nutritious.
• If possible, make your own mayonnaise at home. Then your dish will definitely not be spoiled by the taste of low-quality rancid sauce.
• Before serving “Herring under a fur coat,” keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

The history of the name of the dish “Herring under a fur coat”

There is a legend about the cook Aristarkh Prokoptsev, who back in 1918 came up with a cheap, hearty dish so that tavern guests would eat it and get less drunk from drinking it.
After visitors to the establishment ate a high-calorie snack, alcohol did not act so aggressively on their bodies. They no longer had heated debates that turned into fights. In the snack, he used only accessible and inexpensive products. And the name of the new product was given to “Chauvinism and Decadence - Boycott and Anathema,” the abbreviation of which sounds like “SH.U.B.A.”

Herring under a fur coat

Before describing the recipes, I want to focus a little attention on the history of the origin of the salad and its benefits. The basis of this salad is, of course, herring.

In addition, this fish contains many useful elements, and what can I say, fish is always very beneficial for the body. Moreover, there are a lot of such fish in the waters, at least it used to be so.

According to legend, salad ball was first served in the network of canteens and taverns of the Moscow merchant Anastas Bogomilov. The main visitors to his establishments were not the most luxurious audience - workers and peasants. It was not a calm time then - 1918.

In connection with that time, the components of the salad looked like this: herring (the favorite food of the proletarians), carrots, onions and potatoes (representing the peasants), beets (similar in color to the Bolshevik banner), and French Provencal sauce served as a dressing. The success of the new dish, called “Sh.U.B.A” (“Fight and Anathema to Chauvinism and Decadence”), was simply deafening.

Important cooking features.

Herring under a Fur Coat

For the salad, boil potatoes, beets and carrots. According to tradition, they are boiled “in their uniforms”. And not for nothing, this is how they better preserve their beneficial features. To save time, beets can be prepared using any in a convenient way. Beets are “not boiled down”; they are a unique vegetable. Well, now many people have multicookers, which significantly save energy and time.

Today, vegetables are grated and cut into cubes as desired. But the original recipe insists on grating the vegetables on a coarse grater.

It’s better to grate vegetables directly while hanging, over a salad bowl. This makes the fur coat more airy.

Herring under a fur coat salad consists of several layers: potatoes, herring, onions, carrots and beets. But the sequence differs among housewives according to two options. In the first case, put herring on the bottom, and then potatoes and the remaining layers.

In the second option, half the potatoes are placed on the bottom, and then the herring and the remaining layers. This option is better in my opinion. Through trial and error, it turned out that this way the potatoes are better saturated with the taste of the herring, and it is already, as it were, under a fur coat from all sides.

There is another tricky way to achieve a splendid salad. To do this, the layers are repeated 2-3 times. It turns out that first I lay everything out in order, but in a thin layer, then they repeat the order about 2 more times. This is how the salad looks very festive when cut. Write in the comments how you lay out the layers of this salad?

Herring salad under a fur coat is quite simple to prepare, although it takes quite a bit of time. In order for your Shuba salad to be a success, we have prepared some tips from experienced housewives.

Cut the herring into cubes, not very finely

Step 6.

Now cut the onion into cubes and lay it out in a third layer. Then sprinkle with lemon juice or vinegar. Top with a little mayonnaise and spread in a thin layer.

An original, but rather troublesome way to serve herring under a fur coat is to prepare a roll from its layers.

We do not stretch the herring layer over the entire surface of the salad layer, but place it only in the center along the entire length. Then, with extreme care, roll up the roll or simply connect the edges of the beet layer.

1. For a richer taste of your favorite salad, you need to give it several hours to soak, ideally about 6 hours. Therefore, make sure that “Shuba” is not prepared just before the guests arrive.
2. When free time If there is a deficiency, each of the layers can be mixed separately in a bowl with mayonnaise. This will make the impregnation process much faster.
3. It is not possible to know the taste of the herring you are buying in advance; if you come across an overly salty sample, we advise you to soak it in milk. And if, on the contrary, it is too lightly salted, after cutting and cutting the fish into pieces, add additional salt and mix it.
4. Typically, recipes contain a fairly small number of ingredients, but if you expect a lot of guests to come, feel free to double or triple them. This will allow you to cook “Shuba” on several dishes.
5. You can reduce the fat content and, accordingly, the calorie content of the salad by lubricating not all layers with mayonnaise, or using a minimal amount of it.
6. Finely chopped pickled cucumbers will help add some piquancy to the herring under a fur coat. Place them between a layer of carrots and eggs.
7. The taste of the fur coat is significantly improved if you marinate not only finely chopped onions, but also grated beets.
8. Finely chopped boiled meat placed on an onion layer will help add satiety to the herring salad.
9. It is better to use our tips for decorating herring under a fur coat immediately before serving, otherwise the beets will turn bright purple all other products and edible decorative elements.
