There are several types of fish that occupy a special place in Russian cuisine. This is exactly what herring belongs to. As a rule, it is served as a separate dish, supplemented with thin rings of fresh onion and a piece of crispy rye bread. Another common option is a salad with a name that is incomprehensible to foreigners, “Herring under a fur coat.” These undoubtedly tasty and healthy fish snacks are so popular in Russia that many local chefs consider this fish almost a national treasure of their country. However, herring is also quite actively used in other cuisines, for example, Norwegian, Swedish or Dutch. We will try to cook the latter dish today.
Set of products for preparing herring salad:
- pickled herring (200 g);
- potatoes (8 small root vegetables);
- mustard (30 ml);
- salt;
- sour cream (45 ml);
- garlic (3 cloves);
- apple (2 fruits);
- hot peppers;
- onion (1 root vegetable);
- lemon (1 fruit);
- dill.
Herring salad recipe
- First you need to boil small potatoes, preferably round ones. However, in the absence of one, it is quite acceptable to use medium-sized root vegetables, which should be carefully cut into small pieces before cooking. At this stage, do not forget to salt the water where our potatoes are cooked, and also add a little garlic and hot pepper.
- After cooking, transfer the potatoes to a separate plate and allow them to cool. It is important to remember that the pieces should not become overcooked, so it is recommended to carefully monitor this process.
- Next, we begin to create a spicy sauce that will decorate our future salad with unusual flavors. To do this, mix sour cream, mustard and fresh lemon juice, as well as a pinch of salt and just a little hot pepper in a small but deep bowl. Place the finished dressing in the refrigerator.
- Now cut pickled herring fillets into approximately equal pieces, preferably red onions and peeled green apples. We combine the prepared ingredients, add chopped dill, cooled potatoes and infused sauce. You can decorate the Dutch herring salad with chopped rosemary in combination with ground pepper. And a glass of dry white wine will certainly help to emphasize the refined taste of this cold appetizer.
Herring has a positive effect on brain function and improves vision. It is easily absorbed by the human body and is an ideal source of protein for it. Meanwhile, doctors advise hypertensive patients, people with diseased kidneys and those who suffer from edema not to get carried away with herring.
