• large sweet and sour apple - 1 pc.
• pickled cucumbers - 4-5 pcs.

Directions

1. Prepare the ingredients for the herring under a pickled cucumber coat. Place the eggs in a small ladle, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then drain the water. Cover the eggs with cold water and let cool.
2. Heat the oven to 180 ° C. Wash the beets for herring under a fur coat with a brush and wrap in a sheet of foil. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour.
3. While the beets are baking, wash the potatoes thoroughly and boil until tender in their skins. Let cool completely, then peel and grate on a coarse grater.
4. Put the beets out of foil on a plate and let cool completely. Peel and grate on a coarse grater. Cut the herring into small cubes.
5. Wash the apple for herring under a fur coat, peel and cut in half. Core with seeds. Grate the pulp on a coarse grater in a bowl. Can be mixed with lemon juice to keep it from darkening.
6. Peel and grate the eggs on a medium grater or chop with a crush. Toss with prepared apples in a bowl. You can pepper a little.
7. On a large flat plate, place half of the grated potatoes in the form of two large fish. Brush with mayonnaise. Spread the herring over the top, then lay out the beets, apple mixture and remaining potatoes in layers, brushing each with mayonnaise.
8. Cut the pickled cucumbers into thin slices. Lay them on top in the form of scales. Use the green leeks to make tails and fins. Put the herring prepared in this way under a fur coat with pickles in the refrigerator before serving.
