We make the Pechenkin salad step by step
This appetizer is particularly nutritious. After all, it contains such a useful offal, like chicken liver.
So how is the Pechenkin salad prepared? To create such an appetizer you must purchase:
- fresh chicken liver - about 350 g;
- medium-sized pickled cucumbers - about 8 pcs.;
- large chicken eggs - 4 pcs.;
- a small carrot - 4 pcs.;
- bulbs of medium size - 3 pcs.;
- high-calorie mayonnaise - about 200 g;
- sunflower oil (for frying) - about 2 large tablespoons.
Product processing
Where should you start cooking Puffkin salad? Chicken liver is thoroughly washed in cool water. In the process, all veins and other inedible films are cut off from it. Next, the offal is boiled in salt water until fully cooked. This can take you about ¼ hour.
As soon as the liver becomes soft, it is removed from the broth and cooled. Subsequently, the product is chopped with a thin straw.
As for the remaining ingredients, they are also subjected to heat treatment. Carrots are boiled in a peel, cooled, peeled and rubbed on a large grater. Chicken eggs do exactly the same. However, they are rubbed on a small grater (individually, proteins and yolks)
The onions are also peeled separately. So that they lose their bitterness, they are chopped into cubes and fried until golden brown in a hot frying pan with oil.
At the very least, they start processing pickled cucumbers. They are removed from the brine, washed thoroughly and navels are cut. Subsequently, vegetables are chopped into small cubes.
How to form?
Salad "Pechenkin" should be formed in layers. To do this, you must use an oval or rectangular dish with not very high sides.
First, half a serving of boiled chicken liver is spread on a plate. It is covered with mayonnaise net, after which golden fried onions are added.
The next layer should be pickled cucumbers. They are also laid out in half portion. After that, the whole carrot is boiled and grated on a coarse grater. It is carefully smeared with high-calorie mayonnaise and covered with egg whites.
After the described actions, the remaining offal, fried onions and pickled cucumbers are spread in the Pechenkin salad. At the same time, each layer is copiously greased with mayonnaise.
In conclusion, the snack dish is beautifully sprinkled with egg yolk. Outwardly, this salad is very similar to Mimosa.
How to serve at the dining table?
As soon as all layers of the salad are laid out on a plate and smeared with mayonnaise, it is sent to the refrigerator. To soak dishes, it is kept in the cold for about 4-5 hours. Next, the salad is decorated with greens and distributed on plates.
If you comply with all the requirements described, you should get a very aromatic, tasty and nutritious snack.
