Herring under the fur (Seliodka pod shubi).I cooked this special Russian salad for last New Years Eve, so I dedicate this recipe to Ventislava, who asked me how to make it. herring under the fur is a salad suitable for parties and composed of ingredients easily available in winter time. Little known, ideal as an appetizer; with this recipe you will certainly make a good impression, given that this dish was present on the aristocratic tables since two centenaryes ago!

1 large beetroot

1 onion

1 tube of mayonnaise

1 egg

Vinegar, sunflower oil, salt, pepper and parsley

Total preparation time: 5 hours     Working time: 1 hour

Peel the vegetables and boil them until cooked. Potatoes and carrots must be placed in a different  pot from the one used for beetroot, otherwise they will be colored with scarlet red. Let the vegetables rest and cool.

Boil an egg until it becomes firm and let it rest.

Marinate the raw herrings by dipping them in vinegar and oil in equal quantities for a couple of hours. If you do not find herrings, you can substitute them with fresh anchovies.

Finely chop the onion and dip it in water and vinegar for about 15 minutes. Raise and squeeze it. Arrange it in a large bowl, adding the herrings cut into coarse pieces. Mix with salt and pepper. This is the basis of our salad.
