Lazy Herring Under A Fur Coat. Step-by-step Recipe With Photo

Lazy herring under a fur coat is a cold appetizer of Iwashi herring. Vegetable salad with Iwashi based on the classic herring under a fur coat is very easy to prepare. Boil vegetables for this recipe in advance and cool to room temperature. Mixing hot foods with herring is tasteless!

Actually, Iwashi is not a herring at all. Iwasi herring is the trade name for the Far Eastern sardine. The name appeared due to the external resemblance of a fish to an ordinary herring, moreover, "Iwashi" in Japanese translation - "sardine". This is a small fish, but very fatty, healthy and tasty, it belongs to the leaders in the content of Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids.

I advise you to mark this simple appetizer in the cookbook as an appetizer from the "guests on the doorstep" category, if, of course, you have cooked vegetables. Although in our time there are no problems with this, in any hypermarket there are already cooked, peeled and packaged potatoes, carrots and beets.

Cooking time: 25 minutes

Cooking lazy herring under a fur coat

We clean Iwashi. We make an incision on the abdomen, remove the insides, then cut off the head and tail, remove the skin.

Separate the ridge from the fillet, pull out small bones.

We clean the ivashi, separate the ridge from the fillet and pull out small bones

Cut the fish into small cubes, put in a salad bowl.

Cut the light part of the leek stalk into thin rings. We leave a little onion to decorate the salad, add the rest of the chopped leek to the fish.

Boil hard-boiled chicken eggs, cool, separate the whites from the yolks. Chop the proteins finely, put them in a salad bowl.

Next, add boiled carrots cut into small cubes.

We also cut the potatoes into cubes, send them to the salad bowl after the carrots. All boiled vegetables should preferably be cut equally.

Cut the beets into cubes, add to the rest of the ingredients.

Finely chop a bunch of fresh dill and season the salad - add chopped dill, mayonnaise, salt and black pepper to taste.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly. By the way, mayonnaise can be diluted with sour cream and a teaspoon of table mustard.

We put a culinary ring on a plate, fill it tightly with salad, tamp it so that the products do not crumble.

Rub the egg yolks on a fine grater, sprinkle the appetizer with grated yolks.

It is always better to use the yolk to decorate snacks, firstly, it is beautiful, and secondly, the ingredients in the salad look better without the yolk.

Decorate the lazy herring under a fur coat with leek rings, frozen cranberries and sprigs of fresh dill. We put the appetizer in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Remove the culinary ring before serving. Bon Appetit.
