Glad to meet you again))
The “tasty” New Year holiday has already ended, but I still can’t stop - I continue to publish recipes))
Although this is easily explained, firstly, months ahead are rich in holidays and today's recipe is sure to come in handy, and secondly, I prepared it for the New Year (as well as in the past, and the year before last, and in .... years 😉) but because I have fresh photos, fresh reviews and fresh comments on the recipe.
Because today about how to cook herring under a fur coat, tasty and detailed))
I advise today's article not only to novice hostesses, but also experienced ones, since I myself prepared a fur coat for the hundredth time and going to make it in the 101st I read a way to make it even tastier. At the same time, the herring under the fur coat retained the classic recipe and layers, the sequence of which remained the same as we love.
As always, I will first give a short recipe for cooking, and in a step-by-step I will write down in detail what needs to be done additionally.
(The photo does not quite correspond to the truth, because I accidentally deleted some of the fresh photos, there was a photo from the last time when I tried to prepare a salad with beets, which are sold ready-made in a vacuum package - I did not like it.)
- Herring - 1-2 pcs.
- Beets - 3 pcs.
- Potato - 2 pcs.
- Carrots - 1 pc.
- Onion - 1 small
- Eggs - 3 pcs. (1 of them for decoration)
- Mayonnaise
- Black pepper
- Vegetable oil
Boil beets, potatoes, carrots and eggs, cool, peel. Peel the herring and cut into small cubes. Finely chop the onion.
Lay out in a salad bowl in layers: potatoes, herring, onions, carrots, egg, beets. Spread with mayonnaise. I repeat the layers again.
Now in more detail.
If you take such a ratio of products as I have written, then the “coat” will be with a slightly sweetish flavor due to a rather large amount of beets (but we love this). If you take beets less, and more potatoes - the sweetness will go away, try to your liking.
Boil vegetables (except onions) over low heat: cook carrots for about half an hour, potatoes for about 45 minutes, beets for an hour and a half, depending on size. We do not forget that
We put the vegetables in boiled water, because we need them to be tasty, and not the water in which the vegetables are boiled.
All cooked, set to cool.
During this time we will prepare a herring. The last time I tried to make with a vacuum packed already chopped and without bones, I must say too well especially the herring in these packages already with salt and vinegar, that is tasty.
This time I bought a Matyas fillet for 300 grams, it turned out to be just as many as needed. Cut the fillet into small squares.
Peel and rub the vegetables on a coarse grater. It’s most convenient to make this salad in a salad bowl with high sides, but it so happened that I put everything in a herring, to put a fur coat in it is still that task, but what to do is what a traditional herring under a fur coat looks like for me))
Now about what I would like to pay special attention to.
A few years ago, I came across advice that grated vegetables should be salted and add a little sunflower oil to them. I tried it and, indeed, it turned out to be tastier, at least for this New Year’s one of the first to eat herring under a fur coat.
To do this, grate the potatoes in a separate plate, salt it, slightly pepper and add a little, somewhere with an incomplete tablespoon, odorless vegetable oil.
Gently mix with a fork (so as not to spoil the "airiness").
I taste, if something seems a little, I add.
Add a little salt and sunflower oil to the beets.
I just pepper the carrots a little.
If the herring is not “matias”, but a whole fish, it is not too salty, I would say that it is even tasteless for this salad, so you can add a little sunflower oil and a little vinegar to cut the herring into pieces.
The question that is most often asked when preparing a fur coat is about layers. Herring under a fur coat, its classic recipe, has layers arranged in the following sequence: - herring; - bow; potato; carrot; - beetroot, in this embodiment a “fur coat” is obtained over a herring, so a “fur coat” is real.
But at this point I retreat from the recipe, try it, maybe you will like it more too.
Now we coat with mayonnaise on top. In general, it is recommended not to smear, but to wait until the mayonnaise spreads out and spreads over the salad, but it never works out for me, usually I don’t have enough time, besides, I take the mayonnaise bold and to have it spread it must be angelic patience)) Therefore, I mayonnaise gently smear with a spoon.
In principle, this can be stopped, but we are not looking for easy ways)) so I am building another layer, it seems to me more elegant and tastier.
Usually I prepare this salad in advance and set it to soak in the refrigerator for the night.
The next day, it remains only to bring beauty. You can cut vegetable flowers and leaves, you can sprinkle with fresh herbs, I decorate with a grated egg.
What else do I want to add. I offered to make a salad “Herring under a fur coat » classic version, in which the recipe is with an egg, but often it is prepared without eggs, while absolutely without compromising on taste. So do not like eggs - feel free to remove them from the recipe. I tried to cook like that, but returned to the usual version, I personally like it more.
A sectional view of a fur coat is probably not the most aesthetic, but it is bright, colorful and mouth-watering.
And further. I tried the most delicious “coat” from my work colleague, and the secret of the “taste” turned out not to be in the products and not in their special location, but in the fact that she used a hand grater when chopping vegetables, I think from Mulinex. Rubbed directly into the salad bowl, the layers were more voluminous, fluffy and better impregnated. So if you have a similar device in your arsenal, be sure to use it.
“Herring under a fur coat” is a regular on our New Year’s table along with “Olivier”, although sometimes it doesn’t have the most festive dishes like eggs stuffed with onions (everyone loves them, but I just cook quickly 😉 they can be seen in the corner in the photo). your attention if you think what a snack to prepare for your dinner or lunch tonight.
Well, from the more festive versions of the dishes, I strongly advise you to cook. When the days before the New Year holidays fall on weekends and there is more time for cooking, then I’ll definitely prepare something that requires more than my “attention”))
Bon appetit 🙂

Salad “Herring under a fur coat” is a traditional dish, without which it is difficult to imagine any kind of holiday. Without it, even with Olivier, it’s as if the table is empty. I also really like to eat this salad, but somehow I didn’t really like to cook. Due to the presence of herring many thin bones.
At home, we always make the classic recipe for this salad without eggs. And visiting a friend I tried this salad in a roll and with unusual ingredients for me. In anticipation of the holidays I want to make some delicious recipes for this salad in my culinary piggy bank.
Tasty salad with herring
By the way, even in winter and summer, having prepared according to one recipe, you can get different tastes from this salad. It depends on the fact that in summer herring Saline solution is saturated, so that it does not deteriorate during transportation at elevated temperatures. In winter, it is less salty and it is very felt.
If you buy preserves for salad, then remember that herring is stored only in oil, it should not be in vinegar filling. If there is one on the shelves of the store, perhaps they are trying to hide something from you. Better choose in oil with herbs.
Ingredients:
We clean and grind herring.
Boil the vegetables in advance until cooked.
We will cook without onions, because the salad can stand in the refrigerator for a while, and the onions will quickly begin to deteriorate.
It is better to grate vegetables, rather than cut, so the salad will turn out more uniform and tender.
Now we begin to lay out the layers in order, they may vary slightly, but usually do as described below.
1 row (layer): Herring.
2 row: potatoes and mayonnaise.
3 row: eggs.
4 row: carrots.
5 row: beets and mayonnaise.
By the way, onions can not be pickled, but simply scalded with boiling water. But in the classic recipe, according to which our family prepares, onions have no place in this salad.
But various modifications of this salad have already gone, for example, with the addition of eggs. We take five of them, but only three go to the salad, the remaining two are used as decoration.
Take small-sized vegetables, it’s easier to adapt to the proportions. By the way, perhaps you are lucky and know where the herring fillet is sold near you! Then you will reduce the time for preparing the salad.
Ingredients:
We clean and chop the herring. Try to remove all the bones.
All other boiled foods should be grated and put in different containers.
The plate on which you plan to spread the salad, pre-grease with mayonnaise.
The first row or layer is pickled onions. It was cut in advance and filled with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon. Sahara. After half an hour, the onion is ready, drain the liquid.
The second layer we will lay herring pieces.
The third layer is potatoes and mayonnaise.
Fourth row: eggs.
Fifth row: carrots and mayonnaise.
Mix the beets immediately with mayonnaise, so that it is more convenient to apply it to the salad, because it goes with the finish layer.
You can decorate with eggs or pieces of greenery.
After boiling the beets in water, cool them with cold water. It has the property of being boiled in cold water.
Now the housewives are competing in the unusual presentation of dishes. For example, a salad in the form of a roll will look royally on the table and will cause a lot of curious looks, and it will disperse much faster than other dishes, you will see.
You will need cling film to help curl the edges of the layers. To taste good, take 2-3 herring fillets.
Ingredients:
Rub all the ingredients and chop.
To form the roll, we need a cling film. We spread it and lay out layers on it.
After beetroot, each subsequent layer goes a centimeter less than the previous one, so that the products then do not fall out of their roll.
1 row or layer: grated boiled beets and mayonnaise.
2 row: salted boiled carrots with mayonnaise.
3 layer: grated potatoes, salt and mayonnaise.
4 row: grated chicken eggs.
5 row: Herring.
The photo shows that all layers are of different sizes.
First, wrap one edge of the salad.
Then, right next to it - the second edge.
Put the roll on a plate with the seam down. We release it from the film and decorate.
You can see how to wrap edges in a video in more detail.
Apple makes salad taste more diverse. You need to choose a solid juicy green variety. Some of the apples squeeze the juice a little more, but I think this is superfluous. So just peel it and peck it.
Ingredients:
Boil vegetables or bake in the oven in foil.
The first is potatoes.
So that the salad is not very greasy, we will lubricate it through the layer.
Second layer: Herring slices and mayonnaise.
Third layer: grated apple with lemon juice. The apple is previously peeled.
Fourth layer: eggs with mayonnaise.
Fifth next to lay carrots with mayonnaise.
Finish: grated beets.
Garnish with parsley, green onions, eggs.
Often I see this salad as a snack. Then a piece of herring is laid out on top. But you need to cook it before serving so that the pita bread is not soaked from juices and mayonnaise. You need to cut the pita bread with the filling thicker, 3-4 centimeters, then it will be more stable and the filling will not fall out of the layers.
Ingredients:
In order not to paint the entire kitchen in beetroot color, we will use cling film. We cut pita bread into 2 parts. If you have it big, then you can divide it into four.
Turn it on pita bread. It is very dry, so we will coat it with a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise.
Put grated beets on pita bread and be sure to squeeze a little with your hands.
Another layer of pita bread on top.
Remember that we fatten its surface with mayonnaise, on top of which we lay out the grated carrots.
Again a layer of pita bread and mayonnaise, on which lay grated potatoes.
Now we turn our whole “cake” and tie it into cling film and put it in the refrigerator.
We did not put herring in it, because we will cut it portionwise into each piece of pita bread with salad.
But you can lay it between the carrots and potatoes with a middle layer.
Here we have no carrots, no onions, no eggs. Make a simpler variation of the salad. But he still turns out very nutritious and tender.
Each product can be separately mixed in plates with mayonnaise or sour cream, so that it is more convenient to spread and spread on the surface.
Ingredients:
First mix 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 on a flat plate.
Decorate with herbs and mayonnaise net.
Another interesting option is to use pickles. The sharpness and sweetness of the salad depends on them.
Ingredients:
As they did before: everything that can be boiled is boiled and chopped.
It’s tastier to spread potatoes with mayonnaise first. To make it tastier, salt and pepper this layer.
On it we evenly lay out slices of pickled or pickled cucumber. Surely soak.
Soak the top with mayonnaise sauce.
The sourness in such compositions of nutritious salads has never bothered. Often it is added using a pickled cucumber, but you can add a pickled onion instead. It is laid either immediately on a herring, or separately mixed with a herring and then laid out.
It is better to put the potatoes first so that the juice from the onions and mayonnaise are missed and it is not too dry in the salad.
Ingredients:
Pour onion slices with boiling water to completely cover them and add a spoonful of 9% vinegar and a spoonful of sugar.
The first row is stacked with potatoes.
Mix the pickled onions without liquid with herring cubes and mayonnaise. She laid out the second layer.
Third row: egg whites and grated carrots.
Fourth row: beets with mayonnaise.
Finish line: crushed yolks as a decoration.
And just one ingredient allows you to make a masterpiece from a salad, for example, to form it in the form of a cake or a regular circle. And all this without fear that the salad will fall apart. All the highlight in the addition of gelatin. The downside is that the prepared salad should stand in the refrigerator for half a day so that the gelatin freezes. Not everyone will want to wait.
So, to the diluted gelatin you need to enter all the mayonnaise that you plan to spend on the salad. And then add to each crushed product a few tablespoons of this gelatinous mixture.
Ingredients:
Pour gelatin in half a glass of cold water for swelling.
Pickle the onions in advance in a solution of water with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar in advance.
Grind or juic all boiled vegetables.
Finely chop the herring fillet and mix with the pickled onion slices.
We cover the form with cling film.
We dilute gelatin using a water bath or microwave. Remember that we do not bring it to a boil!
350 g of mayonnaise mixed with gelatin and mix. Mix all vegetables with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise with gelatin.
First row: Beetroot with a gelatin mixture. 
Second row: potatoes with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise-gelatinous mass.
Third row: herring with onions and the same sauce.
Fifth layer: carrots with mayonnaise mixture.
Cover with a film and put in the cold for 4-6 hours.
Then we remove the film and turn it on a flat surface. We decorate and enjoy the interesting shape.
When preparing dishes, I want them to be not only tasty, but also pleasing to the eye with their beauty. The most common salad on the festive table is a herring under a fur coat. Making a menu - this dish comes first on the list.
Every hostess at least once in her life was faced with the question of how to lay layers in this traditional dish correctly and in what order? Over the years, many changes have been made to this recipe, new ingredients have been added. But the very first, classic recipe for cooking herring under a fur coat still remains tasty and desirable on the table.

Despite his rich history, he still remains the most desired delicacy not only on the New Year's table, but also on all family holidays. During cooking, a festive mood is created. Each housewife has a secret to cooking. Cooked with carrots, apples. Change the order of the layers. But the favorite is the classic herring recipe under a fur coat, collected in layers.

To create a beautiful salad, resourceful housewives use a split mold for baking a cake. The location of all layers is clearly visible. On the festive table, it takes the form of a cake and decorates the table. It looks original salad, laid out on a dish in the form of a rectangle or square.
The herring under a fur coat, cooked according to the classic recipe with an egg, twisted into a roll, will certainly cause guests' admiration. For this design option, all products are collected on cling film and arranged in reverse order. This means that the first layer will be a beetroot. Herring, unlike the classic version, does not need to be distributed over the entire surface, but to lay out the entire portion only in the center. Then, gently pressing with your hands, roll into the shape of a roll. Without removing the film give a couple of hours to infuse in the refrigerator. Then they remove the film and decorate the holiday table with a beautiful dish.
A less common option is to serve in large glasses of red wine. This portioned option looks amazing. All layers are clearly visible, causing appetite, and the desire to try a colorful dish as soon as possible.
The classic version of the decoration of the dish is a mesh applied mayonnaise on a layer of beetroot. Sometimes decorated with grated eggs or chopped herbs. Use tomatoes, cucumbers, onion rings or olives. There are many options to give a beautiful, unique look to the familiar dish. Of course, you will have to spend more time and effort, but the result is worth it.
For decoration, you can use the usual cookie cutters. Cut animals from any products, delighting children.
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 depict a real aquarium by adding algae from dill.
If you have a silicone cake mold with a beautiful pattern, for example, a rose or a bear, use it, you won’t regret it. When you turn the salad on the dish, it will take the form of a shape and will look like a cake.
It is very easy to shape the fish. To make scales from beetroot, onion, carrot cut into rings.
From boiled beetroot and carrots, flowers are made by laying out on a grid drawn by mayonnaise. Parsley leaves are ideal for foliage flowers. By the new year, it’s beautiful to decorate with a clock, on which the arrows indicate twelve hours. To do this, evenly distribute mayonnaise over the beetroot layer. From boiled carrots cut Roman numerals and arrows. Arrange in the correct order. This dish is placed in the center of the festive table. You may not draw numbers and arrows with mayonnaise, because they will always turn red in beetroot.
Many hostesses add during cooking, something of their own, new and in this way, we gradually move farther and farther from the source itself.
Someone likes to add apples, someone prefers eggs, and someone likes cheese. But the taste all the same of this favorite dish does not get any worse from this, and only it acquires additional notes.

Herring under a fur coat, prepared in layers - a traditional and beloved winter salad, a rare feast without it. Cooking a salad is better on the eve, because it should be soaked well and, in addition, a salad is much tastier when chilled.
Ingredients:
Cooking:
First, wash and boil vegetables for a "fur coat" - separately beets, in another pan - potatoes and carrots. We check readiness with a knife or fork, they should easily enter vegetables. We also boil the eggs - after boiling over medium heat, cook for at least 10 minutes.
When the vegetables are ready, drain the water, cool them and clean.
This salad can be made on a dish, it can be in a deep form, and today we will cook it in the form of a ring. To do this, set the inverted glass in the center of the dish and lay layers of lettuce around it. And I will tell you in detail how exactly I make a herring under a fur coat in layers, in what order I spread them.
Three potatoes with the first layer and evenly distribute along the bottom of the dish around the glass. This layer is slightly salted, we will not salt all the rest.
Cut off the corner of the bag with mayonnaise and apply a thick mayonnaise net over the potatoes. I do this when cooking most salads, such as, for example, or. If you like a lot of mayonnaise, squeeze out more and smear it with a teaspoon on the surface.
Herring fillet cut into small cubes, stack on top of the potatoes. Peel the onion, cut it as small as possible and evenly sprinkle the herring on top. If you don’t like the bright onion flavor, you can put it in a small strainer after cutting and rinse boiling water from the kettle. You can not put onions at all, but then the taste of the salad will be different.
We make a mesh of mayonnaise.
Three eggs on a coarse grater, we correct the shape of the salad with a fork and again we make a net of mayonnaise.
Three carrots on a coarse grater and again - a mayonnaise net.
Three beets on top of carrots and evenly distribute it over the entire surface of the salad. In grated beets, if desired, you can add chopped garlic, 1-2 cloves.
Finally, we correct the shape of the salad, apply mayonnaise and gently spread it on the surface of the beets. Then carefully remove the glass, turning it in a circle and trying not to damage the layers, and decorate the herring under a fur coat to your taste.
