To burn it off
Herring under a fur coat, shuba to anyone who grew up with it, is salted herring buried under layers of potato, carrot, beetroot and mayonnaise. The beetroot turns the top purple, which is the whole look.
A portion is about 300 kcal, with 9 g of protein, 15 g of carbs and 23 g of fat. Most of that fat is the mayonnaise between the layers.
For Russian speakers it sits on the New Year table next to olivier salad, and the table is not complete without it. Outside that world you meet it at a friend's New Year party, or in a Russian or Baltic deli in a plastic tub.
Tips
- 1Spread the mayonnaise thinner, or mix half of it with sour cream or yoghurt. It still holds the layers together.
- 2Take a slice and fill the rest of the plate with something lighter, like pickles or plain vegetables.
