Each hostess has her own tricks in cooking this or that dish. Most often, the most common methods of processing products or replacing ingredients help to improve the taste of the usual food. The same applies to all the famous "Fur coat" salad. Salad, the recipe of which is familiar to absolutely everyone, can be prepared in a new way. And for this it is not at all necessary to completely change its components or use an expensive red fish. So, let's begin.
Ingredient preparation
We need: 1 medium-sized beet, 1 carrot, 1 head of onion, 3 eggs, 2 potatoes, 2 apples, 1 salted mackerel (!), Apple cider vinegar and mayonnaise.
Grind pre-cooked vegetables on a medium grater.
You can safely
cook beets with carrots, the latter will not be painted. But it is more advisable to put potatoes and eggs in different containers, as long-term heat
treatment of eggs is undesirable. Protein will quickly lose its tenderness, which will directly affect the quality of the dish. Pour the chopped onion for 10-15 minutes with a glass of ice water and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. In my opinion, it is ideal to use mackerel as the basis for the "Fur Coat". This fish is more tender, without small stones, and for it a no less tender "fur coat" is necessary. Salad, the recipe of which is good for its simplicity, you can always complicate and prepare for the holiday table, and just for dinner.
"Collecting" salad
The classic sequence of layers in a salad can always be violated. I offer my option. First, we line the bottom of the dishes with a thin layer of beets, and only then we put a layer of mackerel. Lightly flavor the last with mayonnaise. Next, spread the soaked onion, previously thrown into a colander. After onions are potatoes, carrots, eggs, apples and beets. For those who are not worried about their figure, it is permissible to soak each layer with mayonnaise. You can sprinkle a sweet apple with lemon juice, which will add the desired acidity and additionally keep the product color fresh. For a small company, you can collect layers in portioned salad bowls, so you get an individual "Fur coat" salad. The recipe for the latter is similar, only the layers are collected on the contrary, before serving, the portion is simply turned onto a flat plate and decorated.
Little tricks
How to make a salad? "Fur coat" should be as gentle and airy as possible, and therefore it is not worth tamping each layer. To achieve this effect, it is better to use a more liquid mayonnaise, which is easy to distribute on the surface of the layers. Large beets, as a rule, have a less saturated and grassy taste, so it is more appropriate to choose a small root crop. The layers of carrots and apples are juicy in themselves, so do not weight them with mayonnaise. Using red onion will make the salad taste βsofterβ. How to decorate a "fur coat" salad? Photos of the festive and everyday options are best captured and shared with cooking enthusiasts. It is worthwhile to think over the idea in advance, but it is advisable to implement it right before serving the salad. After all, even a very tasty and beautiful, but grounded dish looks unconvincing.
