Even classic dishes familiar from childhood can be made lighter if desired. An example of this would be this option on how to cook dietary herring under a fur coat.

How to cook PP herring under a fur coat

Since the salad includes only boiled vegetables and fish, it is worth paying attention to these products, namely the preparation of vegetables and the choice of herring.

As you know, if you cook vegetables in a pan, they lose half of their vitamins and nutrients. Therefore, in order for the salad to have a higher nutritional value, it is preferable to prepare carrots, beets (potatoes, if you add them) in other ways. For example:

• In the oven , thoroughly rinse the root vegetables first. Wipe with a paper towel and wrap each vegetable in foil. Bake at 200 degrees for 30 minutes to 1.3 hours (depending on the size of the tubers). Check readiness with a wooden skewer or toothpick. The advantage of this method is that the dishes are clean, since after cooking the vegetables, a dark residue remains in the pan.
• Steamed in a slow cooker : we also wash the vegetables well beforehand. Pour ⅓ of water into the multicooker bowl, turn on the “cook/steam” mode and wait for the sound signal when the water boils. Then place the vegetables on the steaming insert and insert it into the bowl. Cook until done (about 1-1.3 hours).

Afterwards, we cool the vegetables, clean and chop them in a convenient way; more often, vegetables for fur coats are grated on a coarse grater.

We choose lightly salted herring, preferably fattier. You can cook it from Iwasi or Norwegian herring. If you are tired of this type of fish, you can make a vegetable coat with lightly salted salmon, mackerel or caviar. You can also prepare the salad from canned tuna in its own juice, but the taste will be slightly different.

Recipe for herring under a fur coat with avocado

Many adherents of healthy eating do not eat potatoes. In a salad, you can make do with traditional ingredients, removing only the starchy root vegetable from the composition. But the dish will be much tastier and healthier if you add avocado to it. You will like this “new way” of herring under a fur coat even more than the usual classic version.

Ingredients:

• Lightly salted herring (or 250 g fillet of any other fresh fish);
• 2 beets;
• 1 large carrot;
• 2 eggs + 2 whites (the yolks go into the sauce);
• 2 ripe small or 1 large avocado (I used haas).

For the sauce:

• 250 g sour cream or natural yoghurt;
• ½ teaspoon mustard;
• ⅓ teaspoon salt;
• 2 boiled yolks.

Or choose one of the PP mayonnaise options.

Step by step method:

1. We prepare vegetables in a way convenient for you. I wrapped each root vegetable in foil and baked for 1-1.3 hours in the oven at 200 degrees.

2. Cool the beets and carrots, peel them and grate them on a coarse grater.

3. Boil the eggs hard, and also grate them.
4. We clean the onion. Chop finely with a knife. You can pour boiling water for 15 minutes so that the onion gives off its bitterness.

5. We clean the herring and fillet it. Cut into cubes.
6. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the pulp. Cut into thin slices.
7. Prepare the sauce. Place sour cream, mustard, two boiled yolks and salt in a bowl (blender). Beat with a blender or by hand with a whisk.
8. We collect the salad. I decorated it in the form of a round cake in a ring - it turns out to be a very impressive presentation, especially for a festive table. But herring under a fur coat also looks great in a small oval herring bowl or dish. The sequence of layers is as follows: Lay out the avocado as the first layer, then 2 tablespoons of sauce.
9. The second layer is herring, grease with sauce.
10. The third layer is onion, cover with sauce.
11. The fourth layer is carrots, cover with sauce.
12. Fifth layer - eggs, also saturate the layer with sauce.
13. Sixth, last layer - lay out the beets.

It is not necessary to soak the top with sauce, this will give the salad a brighter, more festive look, but I had some sauce left, so I brushed the top.

We leave the salad to soak for a couple of hours, or better yet, overnight in the refrigerator.

Herring under a fur coat with avocado is ready. Decorate with herbs, red caviar (if possible) and serve. Bon appetit!

If you still make herring under a fur coat with potatoes and without avocado, start the first layer with onions. Then fish, potatoes, carrots, eggs and beets. You can also prepare a lazy salad without laying it out in layers: cut all the ingredients into pieces, mixing them in a dish along with the dressing.

Lazy herring under a fur coat

If you are sorely short of time, but you really want to prepare a salad, then a similar recipe will come in handy:

• boil 200 grams of beets, 200 grams of potatoes, 200 grams of carrots. Then all the vegetables are peeled and cut into cubes;
• 1 herring is also filleted and cut into small pieces;
• chop the onion into cubes;
• combine all the ingredients in one container, add a little pepper, salt and salad sauce;
• the sauce is prepared from 150 grams of low-fat sour cream and 1 teaspoon of mustard;
• After thorough mixing, the dish is ready.

Salad options

• with an apple instead of potatoes;
• with white cheese (ricotta, mozzarella or processed cheese) - an excellent combination with lightly salted fish;
• With cucumber (fresh or salted, it is better not to use pickled ones during PP);
• With fried champignons;
• With nuts - also instead of potatoes.

The ingredients can be interchanged or used in the form of additional layers. In the second case, the herring salad under a fur coat will become taller and have an even more festive look.
