The recipe for an unusual New Year's dish was shared by the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
How to cook sprats under a fur coat
First, start boiling half a kilo of jacket potatoes. You also need to hard-boil 7 chicken eggs.
Next, you need to prepare the sprats. Throw the entire contents of the can into a colander and leave the fish like this for at least a quarter of an hour: you need to make sure that all the oil drains off.
While the vegetables and eggs are boiling (and the oil is draining), you need to cut one peeled onion into cubes. The resulting mass should be sent to a heated frying pan. After 5 minutes, add one grated carrot.
Mix the vegetable components and fry them for five minutes. Stir the mixture with a spatula all the time. Then reduce the heat and heat the carrot-onion mixture for another couple of minutes.
How to "assemble" the salad? Take a large flat plate and place the forming ring on it. It is advisable to observe the following order of layers (from bottom to top):
- grated potatoes;
- sprats mashed with a fork;
- grated pickled cucumbers (400 grams);
- cooled carrot and onion mixture;
- grated boiled eggs.
Mayonnaise should be used as an intermediate layer. Cover all layers with it, except for the sprat and egg layers.
The “formed” salad should be placed in the refrigerator for a short time to let it infuse.
