Number of servings: 6Cooking time: 1 h 10 minDifficulty: EasyMeal: Snack

Herring under a fur coat with mushrooms is an improved version of the classic salad, in which aromatic fried mushrooms are added to the traditional layers. This touch makes the dish even more rich, with a deeper flavour and a pleasant aftertaste. Mushrooms go well with herring and beetroot, creating a harmonious balance of saltiness, sweetness and tenderness.


Variations

You can use both champignons and wild mushrooms for a more pronounced aroma. Instead of classic mayonnaise, try a lighter version based on yoghurt or sour cream. For freshness, add finely grated apple or a little lemon juice between the layers.


Secrets of tenderness and taste

The herring should be lightly salted and fresh — this is the basis for a harmonious taste. The mushrooms should be fried until golden brown to get rid of excess moisture. Grate the beetroot on a fine grater — this will make the layer more tender and saturated.


Tips on ingredients

Choose medium-sized beetroot — young beetroot has a brighter colour and a more delicate texture. Do not overcook the carrots and potatoes so that they retain their shape when sliced. For convenience, use ready-made boneless herring fillets.


Small culinary nuances

After laying out all the layers, leave the salad in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours — this will help the layers ‘merge’ with each other. Before serving, decorate the surface of the beetroot layer with greens or mushrooms. It is best to cut the salad with a sharp knife cooled in the refrigerator.
