The correct herring under the fur coat - layers in turn, the order of which depends on the taste of the dish. It is important not only to put the fish and vegetables in a certain sequence. Of great importance is also the preparation of products. Never cook vegetables for herring under a fur coat the day before, they will lose some taste in the fridge overnight, they will become fresh. Cook the vegetables 2-3 hours before cooking and cool them to room temperature. You can also bake carrots, beets and potatoes in the oven in foil.
Herring choose the fattest one. Atlantic herring is fatter, but Pacific herring have fewer small bones and are easier to clean. You can also pickle herring at home, it will take 3-4 days.
Ready-made medium vegetables in the recipe are shown in pieces.
