Layered salad with herring and mushrooms
1. In order to prepare an incredibly tasty and satisfying holiday salad with herring and mushrooms, first of all you need to prepare all the ingredients. Potatoes should be boiled in their skins until tender, peeled and grated on a coarse grater.
2. Unlike potatoes, carrots for this salad do not need to be boiled, but fried in oil, which makes them especially tasty and aromatic. First, you need to grate it on a coarse grater, or even better, on a Korean carrot grater, since the carrots will serve as the topmost layer and, therefore, the main decoration of this salad.
3. Then the carrots should be fried in vegetable oil over medium heat until lightly browned for 10 - 12 minutes. It is better not to skimp on oil for frying, since carrots absorb it well and become very tender, and in addition, vitamin A, which carrots are rich in, is well absorbed in the body only in the presence of fat.
4. We will also fry the mushrooms and onions in oil to get a more piquant and rich taste, and for this you first need to peel and finely chop the onions.
5. The champignons should be washed well, cleaned of dirt and cut into small thin slices.
6. Heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and first fry the onions for 5 minutes.
7. Add mushrooms to the onions and continue to fry everything together, stirring occasionally, for about 10 - 12 minutes. In this case, you first need to evaporate over high heat all the water released from the mushrooms, after which you need to slightly reduce the heat and wait for the mushrooms to brown appetizingly.
8. Boil chicken eggs in boiling water for 15 minutes and cool, then remove the shells and grate them on a coarse grater.
9. Cut the herring fillet into small cubes.
Advice! Ideally, to prepare this salad, you should choose a whole fatty herring in the store, the meat of which has the most juicy consistency and the most correct rich taste. However, such herring requires a certain skill and extra time for cleaning, so it is quite acceptable to use ready-to-eat fillets. It is best to purchase herring fillets without seasonings in the most ordinary oil filling, so as not to add unnecessary flavor to this salad, and before using it, it should be placed in a colander or blotted with a paper napkin to remove excess oil.
10. Now you can start assembling the salad with herring and mushrooms in layers, for which it is convenient to use a wide salad bowl, a large storage container or a baking dish measuring approximately 20 x 20 cm. However, if your priority is the beauty of presentation, then lay out layers of salad best served on a large serving platter or plate. The first layer and reliable base of the salad in this case will be grated potatoes, which must be salted and coated with mayonnaise. Since the potato layer in such salads often turns out to be a bit dry, I advise you to first mix the potatoes well with mayonnaise and only then put them on a dish or in a salad bowl.
11. Then you need to put chopped herring on the potatoes.
12. Sprinkle the herring with grated eggs, which should be salted and generously greased with mayonnaise.
13. After this, you need to lay out the mushrooms fried with onions and salt them.
14. And the last layer should be fried carrots, which should also be salted and coated well with mayonnaise.
It is advisable to refrigerate the finished layered salad with herring and mushrooms for at least 1 hour, so that all layers are well saturated with vegetable juices and mayonnaise, and the tastes and aromas of the ingredients are combined into a single harmonious composition. You can decorate the salad at your own discretion, without hesitation to show your imagination; for example, I decorated it with fresh herbs and grated egg whites. Now you can start tasting!
