Tiger Fish Salad

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a New Year's Tiger Fish Salad for the New Year 2022? Prepare the products. Instead of saury, you can take other canned food — sardine, pink salmon, tuna. Choose fish in its own juice, without adding oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   Open a can of canned food, drain the liquid and put the fish in a bowl. With a fork, mash it to the state of pate. If there are large bones in the fish, then it is better to remove them.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel and slice the onion as small as possible.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the pre-boiled carrots and grate them on a medium grater. How to cook carrots? Wash the root vegetables well, put them in a saucepan and pour cold water over them. Cook the carrots on low heat for 20-30 minutes after boiling, depending on its size. Determine readiness with a knife — it should easily pierce the root crop. Drain the water and cool the carrots.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel boiled eggs and grate on the same medium grater. Set aside the white of one egg for decoration. How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

7. Step 6:

   

   Start spreading the salad in layers on a plate in the following sequence — fish-onion-eggs-carrots. For accuracy, brush each layer with a grid of mayonnaise (to do this, put it in a tight bag with the tip cut off). To form a tiger muzzle, spread the salad in the shape of a circle, on top of which make two ears.

8. Step 7:

   

   Repeat the layers again, also smearing them with a mesh of mayonnaise. Do not lubricate the carrot layer anymore. Also put carrots on the sides of the salad. Gently shape the ears by lightly pressing your fingers into their middle.

9. Step 8:

   

   Cut out the eyes from the deposited protein, chop the remaining finely. Place the eyes and the central part of the muzzle on top of the salad.

10. Step 9:

    

    Cut two olives in half, put two halves in the ears, make a spout from one. Cut thin strips from the olives for the pupils and cilia. Chop the remaining olives finely and make strips of them on top and on the sides.

11. Step 10:

    

    Make a tongue out of a piece of sausage or sausage, and a mustache out of cheese. Put the salad in the refrigerator for a couple of hours for impregnation. And then serve it to the table. Bon appetit and Happy New Year!
