Delicious canned food called "sprats" can become even more interesting in salads. If you have not tried such an original dish, be sure to experiment with recipes and replenish your piggy bank of delicious foods with these salads. Of course, you cannot name them light and dietary, but they are worth it to forget about all diets at least for the evening.
Salad with sprats has many options - perhaps, like all other salads. The compositions are similar in terms of the products used. In this article, we will consider one of these recipes, with which everyone can please themselves and their family.
One of the most interesting recipes is "Cat with a Fish". It is remarkable not only for taste (although everything is fine with this item), but for its appearance. If only taste is important to you, then you are unlikely to spend your time mastering this recipe. However, if you want to surprise someone, whether it be a contest of beautiful dishes or just a family dinner, a salad with sprats "Cat with a Fish" will be an excellent decoration for the table. There are no clear proportions here, the number of ingredients used depends on what size the selected plate or tray will be on which your cat will be laid out. Therefore, we will take products based on a flat plate of the usual (average) size. You will need one carrot, a glass of rice, two jars of sprats, green peas - one can, mayonnaise, 6 eggs.
Boil the rice, mix it with mayonnaise, not thickly, but so that it does not fall apart. From it you need to lay out a flat cat figure on a plate. Not ideal, the main thing you need is a head shape with triangular ears; a body that is made just like a trapezoid, you just need to round its edges and make small paws at the bottom; and a tail extending to the side. At this moment, the figure is not much like a cat, let it not scare you. Then mix the peas with mayonnaise, also not a lot. We spread the second layer - from peas. The third layer is finely chopped sprats. Set aside two or three neat, not broken fish - they will come in handy for decoration. All layers should be approximately the same height.
This sprat salad will require patience in cooking. Further work on it is painstaking, requires restraint and accurate movements. Suffer only a few minutes, the result will justify the effort! Now you need to divide the eggs cooked in advance into yolks and squirrels. Rub the squirrels on a fine grater, and knead the yolks with your fingers until they become “crumbly”. Sprinkle the whole cat with protein. The layer thickness does not matter here, the main thing is that this layer does not shine through. The yolk is distributed only on the legs, ears, tail and edges. Try not to make a sharp transition from yellow to white, do it smoothly - it will look more natural. Remember, this salad with sprats should resemble a cat, and not a faceless mass.
Pre-boiled carrots should be cut into several geometric shapes. For the ears you will need two carrot triangles. Remember, they must be smaller than the ears themselves! Also make a triangle for the nose. Bear with it a little more and our salad with sprats will be ready.
Set aside the carrots briefly. Take those 2-3 fish that are left. Lay them across the cat where the upper legs are supposedly located. Now you have to make 2 legs of carrots. First cut just a long foot, then at the end make three claw cloves. With this foot, he should, as it were, embrace the fish. The second can be made smaller, auxiliary.
That's all! You just have to give it a look: to correct the edges, eliminate minor flaws, you can decorate with greens if desired. It looks great, even a pity to eat! Your guests and loved ones will be delighted. Of course, you can make something beautiful and simpler, for example, a salad with sprats "Fish in the Pond", but the cat is still much more original.
