The origin of the name of this wonderful salad was a revelation for me. I was sure that “under a fur coat” is because the herring is “dressed” with various clothes on top. Imagine my surprise and even disappointment when I learned that the name SHUBA came from revolutionary times and means “Chauvinism and Decadence - Boycott and Anathema!” And the salad was invented in the tavern of merchant Anastas Bogomilov in 1918, when famine and devastation reigned in Russia. According to legend, the cook Aristarkh Prokoptsev, from a meager set of products at that time, came up with puff snack, where herring meant the proletariat, potatoes meant peasants, and beets meant the red banner. This dish instantly became popular, so much so that more than a century has passed, and we are happy to prepare this salad for our dear guests.

There are various variations of this dish with the addition of apple or cheese, but today we will prepare that classic herring under a fur coat that we have known since childhood.

The main ingredient is, of course, the herring itself or its fillet. I prefer to use, so to speak, natural product, and not a semi-finished product, because the more effort and soul you put into a dish, the tastier it turns out.

The herring must be cut, bones removed and cut into small pieces as in the photo.

Boil the vegetables in their jackets for about half an hour until they are soft enough.

Peeling beets, potatoes and carrots is very simple, you don't even need a knife.

Place potatoes as the first layer. To do this, grind it on a medium grater and distribute it in an even layer, and then grease it with mayonnaise. Here it is necessary to make a small clarification, if you use a little mayonnaise, then the layers: potatoes, carrots and beets need to be slightly salted - I did just that.

On potato pillow lay out finely chopped onions and also coat with mayonnaise.

The next layer is the cooked herring fillet, which must be distributed over the onion in an even layer.

Grate the boiled carrots, as well as the potatoes, on a medium grater, place them on top of the herring and coat with mayonnaise.

The final layer is grated beets, which also need to be soaked in mayonnaise and leveled as in the photo. For leveling, it is best to use a regular tablespoon.

So we have prepared our most real herring under a fur coat, which is not a shame to serve at any holiday table, and especially on New Year. Bon appetit!

Ingredients (for 3-4 servings):

• Beetroot - 1 pc.;
• Potatoes – 1 pc. ( potatoes and beets should be taken in equal quantities);

• Mayonnaise - to taste ( about half a glass);
• Onion – 1/2 small onion ( about 50 g.);
• Herring – 1 pc. ( can be replaced with herring in oil 150-200 g.).

1. Boil beets, carrots, potatoes and eggs until tender, then cool. It's best to do this in the evening. All vegetables must be boiled in their skins.

• Beets are cooked from 35 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size of the tubers. How can you tell if beets are cooked? Pierce it with a knife. If the blade easily passes through the peel, then it’s time to remove the vegetable. However, it is best not to cook beets for salad, but bake them in foil for 20-25 minutes at 190 degrees. This way you can save time and avoid staining the pan.
• Boil hard-boiled eggs for 10 minutes after boiling.
• Potatoes and carrots can be boiled in one pan. Cooking time: 20 minutes after boiling.

1. While the vegetables are cooking, shred the herring and then cut it into cubes. The herring pieces should not be too small, otherwise the chopped fish will turn into puree.

How to cut herring for salad? Here's one way:

• Cut off the head and pectoral fins;
• Use a knife to cut the belly from the head to the tail;
• Also use a knife to remove the caviar and giblets, scrape off the black film;
• Using your fingers, pull the skin off the fish;
• Holding the fish flat towards you, divide it into two parts by pulling the tail in different directions;
• Remove the backbone and bones;
• Cut the tails off the two fillet halves.

If you don’t want to bother with cutting fish, then you can buy herring in oil. In this case, the fish pieces need to be blotted paper towel to remove excess oil.

1. Peel the boiled and cooled carrots and potatoes and cut them into cubes, grate the beets coarse grater, and the egg - on shallow. Place each vegetable in a separate bowl (this is important!).
2. Chop the onion (rather finely) and mix it with the herring. The mixture can be peppered a little.
3. Mix potatoes, carrots and beets with mayonnaise (to taste). We don't touch the eggs yet.

• We added a medium amount of mayonnaise (0.5 - 1 tablespoon to each bowl).
• Why do you need to mix each ingredient with mayonnaise? The fact is that this way the salad will soak in much faster. If necessary, it can be served immediately after cooking.

1. We begin to lay out the salad in layers in the following order:

• Potato;
• Herring with onions;
• Carrot;
• Beet;
• Layer of mayonnaise;
• Sprinkling with egg. Ready! The salad can be decorated with a sprig of herbs or green peas.

Many people put herring in the first layer and carrots in the second. Of course, this is a matter of taste, but in our opinion it is the combination of herring and potatoes makes the “shuba” especially tasty!

If you have time, let the herring stand under the fur coat and soak for at least half an hour to achieve maximum juiciness. If you don’t have time, feel free to serve the salad, because each layer is already mixed with mayonnaise.

And here is our recipe in video format:

A true classic for all time

Herring under a fur coat has been a favorite dish of residents of Russia and the CIS countries since the times of the Soviet Union. Traditionally, this salad is associated primarily with the main holiday of the year - New Year. Today, few people remember where the tradition of betting on New Year's table herring under a fur coat. Probably the reason is in analogy with an element of outerwear - a fur coat. Just as a fur coat keeps you warm in severe frosts, so does delicious herring, cooked according to original recipe, “warms up” while covering itself with numerous layers of vegetables. Usually the question is how to decorate this dish, occurs infrequently. Any type of greenery is suitable for decoration; it contrasts well with the bright surface of the salad.

There are many variations on how to cook herring under a fur coat. Moreover, this is relevant both to the order of laying the layers and to the ingredients used. Sometimes the recipe for herring under a fur coat involves preparing a salad even with an apple. But final top layer always beets. So classic herring under the fur coat, no matter what sequence the layers have, it always has a dark pink color: the beets color the final layer of mayonnaise. Firstly, beets perfectly represent winter clothing, and secondly, the brown color of boiled beets makes this stand out a traditional dish among other dishes of the New Year's festive table. However, it can increasingly be found on any holiday, regardless of the occasion or time of year.

• 350 g herring
• 500 g potatoes
• 250 g beets
• 100 g carrots
• 2 chicken eggs

Replaceable Ingredients

The first thing I would like to mention is that the dish requires use large quantity mayonnaise, so it is quite appropriate to replace high-calorie mayonnaise with low-fat mayonnaise. Using low calorie or dietary mayonnaise will reduce the calorie content of the entire dish to a record 1100-1750 calories. It is also recommended to choose the least fatty herring possible. The right fish- no less important point than compliance with layers. I highly recommend not purchasing cut and sliced ​​herring in oil. As a rule, such facilitation of the process affects taste qualities dishes. Moreover, oil usually contains additional spices that will give the dish an unusual traditional herring taste under the fur coat. Classic version The salad should not contain any spices. But the abundance of greenery is welcome. The final photo shows one of the options for decorating a herring under a fur coat.
