Pomegranate seeds are used for decoration in this recipe. Therefore, they can be replaced if desired. For example, cherry halves, small cubes of sweet pepper or fresh herbs.
Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- This salad will be assembled on a large flat plate using a cooking ring. Suitable not only salad, but also separated from the baking dish. It is best to choose a design with a diameter of 16 cm.
- To prepare the appetizer faster, you should clean the beef liver of all excess in advance, fill it with salted water and cook the offal for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
- It is advisable to prepare carrots and eggs in advance. They are also boiled. Eggs until the yolk is hard, carrots until soft. You can then clean both products. They rub on a medium or coarse grater.
- The onion must first be peeled, then chopped into half rings and finally poured into a frying pan with heated oil. It will cook until soft and lightly browned. It is important to ensure that the onions do not burn, otherwise they will taste bitter in the salad.
- The selected hard or semi-hard cheese is processed with a grater with the largest divisions. It will become the penultimate layer of the treat, on which decorations will be laid out.
- When all the ingredients are fully prepared, you can start assembling the snack. To do this, lightly grease the plate and cooking ring with salted mayonnaise.
- The first layer of the treat will be boiled liver. It is pre-processed with a grater. Next is laid out: fried onions - boiled grated eggs - grated carrots - cheese shavings. Each new layer should be coated with salted sauce to taste.
- The finished salad can be placed in the refrigerator to steep together with the cooking ring. After about 40-50 minutes, you can carefully remove it and correct the shape of the treat with a fork.
All that remains is to sprinkle the resulting dish with pomegranate seeds on top of the cheese layer. You can also decorate the side parts of the structure with them. This ingredient will not only decorate the treat, but also add a pleasant sourness to it.
Rules for serving dishes, decoration
Pomegranate seeds are scattered randomly over the appetizer for decoration. But you can add fresh parsley leaves, whole pickled mushrooms or olive slices to them.
