Herring under a fur coat Rooster

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Boil potatoes, carrots, beets and eggs. Cool it down. Peel the vegetables. Remove the shell from the eggs. Onions also need to be cleaned.

2. Step 2:

   

   Carve and peel the herring. Remove all the bones from the fillet.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the fish fillet into small cubes. But do not be too small - it is better if the pieces are of medium size. Spread the chopped herring evenly over the bottom of the salad bowl.

4. Step 4:

   

   Chop the onion finely and put it in a layer on top of the herring. Leave a half-ring of onions to decorate the finished salad.

5. Step 5:

   

   Grate the peeled potatoes on a coarse grater over the onion.

6. Step 6:

   

   Smear the potatoes with half of the mayonnaise.

7. Step 7:

   

   Rub three eggs on the mayonnaise.

8. Step 8:

   

   The next layer is grated carrots. Carefully distribute it evenly over the egg layer. Set aside a small piece of carrot.

10. Step 9:

    

    Rub the beets on the carrots, leaving a small part intact.

11. Step 10:

    

    Spread the remaining mayonnaise over the resulting salad.

12. Step 11:

    

    Grate the pieces of vegetables set aside for later on a coarse grater. Pre-cut two circles from the carrots.

13. Step 12:

    

    Rub the yolk and form the contours of a rooster on the surface of the salad. Cut the carrot mugs in half. Put three halves on the head of the rooster - it will be a comb. From the fourth one, you need to cut two triangles - a small one and a large one. Make a beak out of the smaller one, put the second one under the beak in an inverted form - a beard turned out.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put part of the tail and eyes out of the beetroot.

15. Step 14:

    

    From grated carrots, form the middle part of the tail of the cockerel, a half-ring of onions will go to the lower part.

16. Step 15:

    

    From the remaining protein, you need to cut out ovals - the wings of a rooster. Garnish the salad with dill sprigs. The herring under the fur coat with the image of the symbol of the coming year is ready! Put the salad in the refrigerator to cool for at least 2 hours.
