Herring under a fox fur coat

6 servings

40 minutes

Herring under a fur coat is a variation of the classic Russian salad 'Herring under a Fur Coat,' enriched with fried mushrooms. This recipe draws inspiration from traditional cuisine where herring was paired with vegetables to create a rich flavor ensemble. The tender, salty fish meets caramelized onions and mushrooms, while layers of potatoes, eggs, and stewed carrots add softness and balance to the dish. The finishing touch is mayonnaise that unites all components into a single harmony. This dish is perfect for festive gatherings as it not only looks beautiful but also has a bright, rich taste that evokes nostalgia and comfort.
