If you love the salad “Herring under a fur coat”, but you are tired of its traditional execution, then you can change it. And then your favorite dish will appear before you in a new quality.
And not in the form of a salad, but as a portioned snack.
We will need:
- herring – 1 piece
- potatoes – 3 – 4 pcs.
- beets – 2 pcs (small)
- red onion – 1 pc.
- parsley
- mayonnaise – 1 tbsp. spoon
- sesame seeds – 1 teaspoon
- olive oil
Preparation:
1. Peel the herring from the skin and bones. It is best to take it lightly salted, so the appetizer will turn out more tender. Cut into small cubes. The smaller you cut, the more neatly you can make the “berries”.
2. Cut the red onion into very small cubes. It is not as bitter as white and is therefore preferred. We don't have many ingredients, and this will play a big role.
3. Mix herring with onion and add mayonnaise.
Mix. Add a little mayonnaise. So that the filling just holds together.
I would like to immediately note that the filling will remain. But it’s so tasty that it won’t last long. If you don’t want it to remain, then use only half a herring carcass and half an onion.
4. Boil the beets, cool and grate on a fine grater.
5. Also grate the potatoes on a fine grater. There should be exactly twice as much as beets, otherwise the berries will not be formed.
6. Mix potatoes with beets.
Let stand for a while until the mixture turns a uniform burgundy color.
7. In order to better sculpt the blanks, you will need to prepare the oil. I take olive. Since we have very little mayonnaise in the salad, the oil will be used as a dressing.
Lubricate your hands with oil. Place a tablespoon on your palm vegetable mixture and flatten it into a cake.
Place a teaspoon of herring mixture in the center.
Form a berry that resembles a strawberry in shape. In this case, all the filling should remain inside.
8. Attach a sprig with parsley leaves and place on a plate.
Do the same with the rest of the “berries”.
9. Once they are all on the plate, sprinkle them with white sesame seeds.
Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to harden the berries. Then serve it to the table and treat the guests. They always eat such a treat with great pleasure.
From this amount of ingredients you will get 10 - 12 “strawberries”, depending on their size.
