Herring Under a Fur Coat — Rooster

Dressed herring, but not the usual kind — this one brings good luck in the new year! Herring under a fur coat is a classic dish on the New Year's table. My family loves it, and we make it every single year without ever getting tired of it. This time I suggest serving it in a special way: decorate the salad as a Rooster, the symbol of the coming year. It's sure to bring good fortune in the year ahead :)

Cooking method

Step 1:

Boil the potatoes, carrots, beets, and eggs. Let them cool. Peel the vegetables, shell the eggs, and peel the onion as well.
Step 2:

Clean and fillet the herring, removing all the bones.
Step 3:

Cut the herring fillet into small cubes — but not too small; medium pieces work best. Spread the chopped herring evenly over the bottom of a salad bowl.
Step 4:

Finely chop the onion and layer it over the herring. Set aside a few onion half-rings to decorate the finished salad.
Step 5:

Grate the peeled potatoes on a coarse grater over the onion.
Step 6:

Spread half of the mayonnaise over the potatoes.
Step 7:

Grate three eggs over the mayonnaise.
Step 8:

The next layer is grated carrot. Gently spread it evenly over the egg layer. Set a small piece of carrot aside.
Step 9:

Grate the beets over the carrot, leaving a small piece whole.
Step 10:

Coat the salad with the remaining mayonnaise.
Step 11:

Grate the reserved vegetable pieces on a coarse grater. First, cut two rounds from the carrot.
Step 12:

Grate the yolk and use it to outline the shape of a rooster on top of the salad. Halve the carrot rounds. Arrange three halves on the rooster's head to form the comb. From the fourth round, cut two triangles — one small, one large. Use the small one for the beak, and place the larger one upside down beneath it to make the wattle.
Step 13:

Use beets to form part of the tail and the eye.
Step 14:

Shape the middle of the rooster's tail from grated carrot, and use the onion half-rings for the lower part.
Step 15:

Cut ovals from the remaining egg white to make the rooster's wings. Garnish the salad with sprigs of dill. Your dressed herring shaped like the symbol of the coming year is ready! Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.
