Lazy herring under a fur coat is a cold appetizer of ivasi herring. Vegetable salad with Iwashi based on the classic herring under a fur coat is cooked very easily. Vegetables for this recipe boil in advance and cool to room temperature. Mixing hot products with herring tasteless!
Actually, Iwasi is not a herring at all. “Ivasi Herring” is the trade name of the Far Eastern sardine. The name appeared because of the resemblance of the fish with the usual herring, besides “ivashi” in Japanese, “sardine”. This is a small fish, but very fat, healthy and tasty, it belongs to the leaders in the content of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids.
I advise you to note this simple snack in the cookbook as a snack from the category “guests on the threshold”, unless, of course, you have boiled vegetables. Although nowadays there are no problems with this, in any hypermarket there are already boiled, peeled and packaged potatoes, carrots and beets.

The method of cooking lazy herring under a fur coat
Clean iwashi. Make an incision on the abdomen, remove the insides, then cut off the head and tail, remove the skin.
Separate the ridge from the fillet, pull out small bones.
Cut the fish into small cubes, put in a salad bowl.
The light part of the stem of a leek is cut into thin rings. We leave a little onion to decorate the salad, add the rest of the sliced leek to the fish.
Boil hard-boiled chicken eggs, cool, separate the whites from the yolks. Squirrels chop finely, put in a salad bowl.
Next, add the boiled carrot, cut into small cubes.
Potatoes are also cut into cubes, sent to the salad bowl after the carrots. All boiled vegetables, it is desirable to cut the same.
Beetroot cut into cubes, add to the rest of the ingredients.
Finely chop a bunch of fresh dill and season the salad - add chopped dill, mayonnaise, salt and black pepper to taste.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly. By the way, mayonnaise can be diluted with sour cream and a teaspoon of table mustard.
We put a culinary ring on a plate, fill it with a salad tightly, tamp it down so that the products do not fall apart.
We rub the egg yolks on a fine grater, sprinkle the appetizer with grated yolks.
It is always better to use yolk to decorate appetizers, firstly it’s beautiful, and secondly, the ingredients in the salad look better, without the yolk.
We decorate a lazy herring under a fur coat of leek onions, frozen cranberries and sprigs of fresh dill. We remove the snack in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Before serving, remove the culinary ring. Enjoy your meal.
“Ivashi Herring”, along with Olivier, sprat in tomato sauce and many other products, became a symbol of the Soviet era of the eighties.
Remember from Leonid Filatov:
“What the grandees don't ask -
He, like the ass, “si” yes “si”, Well, and everything leans
Iwashi herring! ”
