Herring under a fur coat rolls

Step-by-step recipe

Step 1:

Boil the vegetables and eggs until tender. Cool, peel, and cut the potatoes, carrots, beets, and a quarter of the onion into four equal pieces—this will make it easier to evenly distribute the ingredients between the four sheets of nori.

Step 2:

Remove bones and skin from the herring. Cut it into small pieces or leave the fillets whole.

Step 3:

Wrap a bamboo mat tightly in cling film and prepare a sheet of nori. Finely grate the prepared beetroot quarter and place it on the nori, leaving a portion of the sheet free.

NOTE: You can replace the nori sheets with thin slices of beetroot, peeled with a vegetable peeler. Lay them on a bamboo mat, overlapping them to form a continuous sheet. These rolls are a little more difficult to form, but they look very impressive.

Step 4:

Grease with mayonnaise.

Step 5:

Place a layer of grated carrots on top and spread with mayonnaise.

Step 6:

Add a layer of grated potatoes.

Step 7:

Place cucumber (optional), herring fillet, egg, and onion in the center. Top with a strip of mayonnaise.

NOTE: These ingredients can be left in large strips or cut into small pieces and laid out in layers.

Step 8:

Using a mat, carefully roll everything into a tight roll. Press it firmly with your hands.

Step 9:

Before serving, cut the roll into portions.

NOTE: Wet the knife before cutting. To ensure a clean cut and prevent the layers from separating, wipe the blade with warm water before each cut.

Step 10:

Place the rolls on a plate. Serve immediately.

Cooking tips

For a richer flavor, you can add a little mustard to the mayonnaise or use sour cream as a dressing.

Use fresh, completely cooled vegetables. Boiled potatoes, carrots, and beets should be well cooled before slicing—this will prevent the layers from spreading and maintain the crisp structure of the rolls.

Don't add too much mayonnaise - it should bind the layers together, but not soak them completely, otherwise the roll will fall apart when cut.

Substitute ingredients: If you don't have nori, you can use lavash or thin flatbread. Canned tuna or crab sticks can be used instead of herring.

Serving: Serve the rolls on a beautiful flat plate garnished with herbs.

Make it easier: All the vegetables can be boiled in advance and stored in the refrigerator, allowing you to assemble the rolls in just 5 minutes before serving.
