Herring on the festive table. Cold appetizer with red fish

To prepare a festive snack, we need a large, fatty herring.

Cut off the head of the herring. We cut the abdomen and clean it.

Cut the fish lengthwise along the spine. Remove bones with tweezers. We will get 2 boneless herring fillets.

We spread the fillet on food film. We got herring with caviar. Caviar can also be used to prepare this snack. Cut the caviar lengthwise and lay it on the herring.

Let's start preparing the filling. We pre-boil the carrots for 5-7 minutes, then send them under cold water. Peppers, onions, carrots, eggs cut into small cubes. Cucumbers are cut lengthwise into thin slices.

Gelatin diluted in 40 milliliters hot water. Do not boil! When boiled, gelatin loses its properties. We filter. Combine gelatin with sour cream and mix thoroughly.

Gelatin with sour cream should stand for about 10 minutes, until the mass begins to thicken. The resulting mixture of sour cream and gelatin is lightly salted, peppered, seasoned to taste lemon juice, add carrots, onions, peppers, eggs and herbs, mix. We apply half of the mass of sour cream and vegetables to one herring fillet.

Lay cucumber slices on top.

Spread the remaining mass of sour cream and vegetables on the cucumbers. Cover with the second fillet.

The next day, we cut and enjoy a very tasty, spectacular herring snack. The perfect dish for your holiday table!

Enjoy your meal!

This spectacular and tasty herring appetizer for the festive table will decorate any celebration. But, you need to do it in advance, because it is prepared on the basis of gelatin, which takes time to solidify. It is best to prepare an appetizer 12 hours before the start of the feast. very satisfying, from one herring and the amount of products indicated in the recipe, 7 - 8 large servings are obtained.

Ingredients:

- salted herring - 1 pc. (large),
- fresh cucumbers - 1 pc. (long thin)

- turnip onion - 1 pc.,
- boiled carrots - 1 pc.,
- dill and parsley (greens) - a little,
- mayonnaise - 4 tbsp. l.,
- gelatin - 1 tbsp. l.

How to cook with a photo step by step

Boil an egg and a carrot in advance (1 each). While they are cooking, soak a spoonful of gelatin in seven tablespoons of cold boiled water.




While the gelatin swells, cut the herring. Cut off the head and tail, open the belly, take out the insides. Cut the skin on both sides along the spine of the herring. Starting from the head, hook the skin and pull it off first from one side, then from the other. Cut the fillets off the bones with a thin knife. Take out the remaining small bones with tweezers, because it will be unpleasant to stumble upon a bone in a finished snack. You got two pieces of herring fillet.
Cut the cucumber into several thin slices. Cut half a sweet pepper into small squares. Chop parsley and dill.




Cut the onion into very small cubes. Set aside 4 tbsp. l. mayonnaise. Peel the boiled carrots and eggs, cut them into small cubes. Mix carrots with egg and herbs with mayonnaise. Heat the swollen gelatin in the microwave for 5 seconds without boiling, and pour into the mayonnaise.






Everything is ready for assembly. In a long narrow dish (herring box) place a wide strip of cling film so that it hangs wide on all sides.
Lay one part of the herring fillet on the bottom of the herring box. Pour half of the resulting mayonnaise mixture on top. Then lay flat two plastic cucumbers, sprinkle half of the total amount of red pepper on the cucumber. Now pour the remaining mayonnaise mixture, put two more plastic cucumbers on it, on the cucumber - the rest of the sweet pepper. And finally, lay the second part of the herring fillet on top of all this splendor. Now ask you for help, because you need to contrive and wrap all this splendor in a roll, first bending the film along the long side, then twisting it from the ends. My assistants and I did not have enough hands to photograph this process. If you have coped with this task, feel free to put the resulting "sausage" in the refrigerator or take it out to the balcony for 12 hours, in short - at night.




And in the morning it remains to unfold the frozen roll, remove the film and cut the snack into portioned pieces. Believe me, you will not regret that you spent a lot of effort on the construction. The appetizer will raise questions and surprise guests not only with its appearance, but also with its unusual taste.
