What to make Fur Coat with instead of herring: here is a budget option

No New Year's Eve is complete without the Fur Coat salad. The main ingredient in this dish is herring. But if you don't really like this fish and want to replace it, you can use sprats.

The idea of preparing Fur Coat salad with sprats was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Alex Mil (mil_alexx). You don't even have to clean the fish: just put it on a plate and mash it with a fork.

Ingredients:

• 3 pcs (400 g) of cooked potatoes
• 3 pcs (300 g) of boiled carrots
• 4 boiled eggs
• 100 g of onions
• 2 cans of sprats
• 100 g of pickled cucumbers
• 200 g of boiled beetroot
• 4-5 tbsp of mayonnaise
• salt, pepper

Method of preparation:

1. Boil carrots, potatoes, eggs, and beets.

2. Divide all the ingredients for the salad into 2 parts because there will be two layers.

3. Finely chop onion, grate pickled cucumbers and add sprats.

4. Mash everything well with a fork and mix.

5. Put grated potatoes in the ring in a thick layer, brush with a thin layer of mayonnaise, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

6. Tamp each layer well and grease with 1-1.5 tbsp of mayonnaise.

7. Put eggs, sprats, and carrots as the next layer.

8. Repeat the layer of potatoes, eggs, and sprats.

9. The last layer is boiled grated beetroot, which should be greased with mayonnaise.

10. Remove the ring. The salad is ready to serve.
