Nurlan Montoev, brand chef of Smolenka Cafe (OW Group), presented various alternatives to herring in the popular New Year’s Eve salad.
The main thing in “Herring under a fur coat” is the taste of the sea. If it is not possible to use herring, it can be safely replaced with another fish: lightly salted salmon, pink salmon or canned tuna.
According to the brand chef, you can replace the fish with a bird if you wish. You can also use white poultry – boiled chicken or turkey fillet. Even if the fillet comes out dry while cooking, don’t worry, mayonnaise takes care of everything.
Montoev advised vegetarians to use avocados and edamame beans. “Of course, there is an option to make the Under Herring Fur Coat vegetarian – I recommend adding avocado or edamame beans instead of fish or chicken. But remember, in this case we need to make up for the lack of salt in the snack – pickled cucumbers, pickled mushrooms will be fine, and nori seaweed is added to the supplement. it can be used as a nautical accent,” he added.
