Method of cooking fish salad with celery and rye flour biscuits
First, make rye biscuits. For this butter (cold) cut into small cubes, add to it seeds, rye flour, oatmeal and yolk. Knead the dough with your hands until the ingredients are in a tight lump. Thinly roll out the dough on a floured board, cut out the form for Christmas tree cookies.
Place rye biscuits on a dry baking sheet, we pin it with a fork. There are quite a lot of butter in the chops, so the baking sheet does not need to be lubricated. We bake 12-16 minutes. Baking temperature 170 degrees Celsius.
We clean two small mackerels from viscera, cut off the heads, boil 15 minutes in salted water with roots and spices, cool, cleanse from the bones. Mix ready mackerel with onion fried in butter.
Peel off a small piece of celery root, rub on a large grater, fry in vegetable oil for 5 minutes, add to mackerel and onion.
While the fish and vegetables have not cooled down, add melted cheese cut into large pieces in the salad. In a warm salad, the cheese will melt and be evenly distributed between the other ingredients.
How to make homemade mayonnaise, you can read in the recipe “Homemade mayonnaise from quail eggs”.
Add boiled and finely chopped quail eggs, sliced leek, peas, sliced olives and mayonnaise into fish salad.
I advise you to season fish salad with homemade mayonnaise, the taste will be just delicious. Homemade mayonnaise does not contain preservatives, there are no chemical additives, besides, you can independently adjust the amount of salt and sugar.
Mix all the ingredients of fish salad, if necessary, add salt, lay out fish salad slide on a serving plate. We decorate a salad hill with parsley, black olives halves.
Festively decorated fish salad with celery served to the table along with rye flour flaps. Bon appetit and Happy New Year!
