Herring under a fur coat Rooster

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Boil potatoes, carrots, beets and eggs. Cool. Peel the vegetables. Remove the shell from the eggs. The onion also needs to be peeled.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut and clean the herring. Remove all bones from the fillet.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the fish fillet into small cubes. But don’t make it too small - it’s better if the pieces are medium in size. Distribute the chopped herring evenly over the bottom of the salad bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Finely chop the onion and place it in a layer on top of the herring. Leave a half ring of onion to decorate the finished salad.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grate the peeled potatoes on a coarse grater over the onion.

6. STEP 6

   

   Brush the potatoes with half the mayonnaise.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grate three eggs into mayonnaise.

8. STEP 8

   

   The next layer is grated carrots. Using gentle movements, spread it evenly over the egg layer. Set a small piece of carrot aside.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grate the beets onto the carrots, leaving a small part intact.

10. STEP 10

    

    Coat the resulting salad with the remaining mayonnaise.

11. STEP 11

    

    Grate the pieces of vegetables set aside for later on a coarse grater. First cut two circles from the carrots.

12. STEP 12

    

    Rub the yolk and form the contours of a rooster on the surface of the salad. Cut the carrot slices in half. Place three halves on the rooster's head - this will be the comb. From the fourth you need to cut out two triangles - a small one and a large one. Make a beak out of the smaller one, place the second one under the beak upside down - you get a beard.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place part of the tail and eyes from the beets.

14. STEP 14

    

    Use grated carrots to form the middle part of the cockerel's tail; a half ring of onion will go to the lower part.

15. STEP 15

    

    From the remaining protein you need to cut out ovals - rooster wings. Garnish the salad with dill sprigs. The herring under a fur coat with the image of the symbol of the coming year is ready! Place the salad in the refrigerator to cool for at least 2 hours.
