Despite the popularity of the salad "Herring under a fur coat", few people know the correct order of layers in the dish.
Some amateur cooks are not aware of the importance of this moment at all: they believe that the ingredients can be placed in any order.
Unfortunately, this approach results in the salad not acquiring a bright taste.
Other gourmets know about the desirability of laying out the ingredients of "Herring under a fur coat" in the right order.
But many of these cooks never make beets the bottom layer and rarely combine this brown root vegetable with onions. And in vain, because these techniques are precisely the secrets of the perfect salad.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking, a chef and a fourth-class baker from the online publication Belnovosti, spoke about how to get a perfectly balanced “Herring under a fur coat”.
Secrets of the perfect "Herring under a fur coat"
An important rule for layering a dish is: "Ingredients that go well together should be placed next to each other."
The beetroot, oddly enough, should be the bottom layer. Next should be the chopped onion.
The presence of a beetroot-onion combination is a guarantee that the salad will be fresh and light.
Place the herring on top of the onion: the spicy vegetable component goes well with the fish component.
And herring will definitely “make friends” with boiled potatoes, so the nightshade should be the next layer.
Taking into account the above recommendations, it is advisable to “assemble” “Herring under a fur coat” in the following way (from the bottom layer to the top):
- beet;
- onions;
- herring;
- potato;
- boiled egg;
- carrot;
- beet.
Of course, there should be intermediate layers of mayonnaise. Just don't overdo it with this white sauce!
