Herring under a fur coat
Description
The recipe won't take much time. In this recipe, I'll show you how to creatively present the classic "Herring under a Fur Coat" salad using gelatin and a springform cake pan. For a richer flavor and extra onion crunch, I recommend marinating the onion in slightly sweetened water with vinegar (you can use lemon juice instead). To make colored gelatin, use beet juice—it will not only give a vibrant color but also enhance the taste. Serve at the table.

2. Strain the mixture, season with salt to taste, and pour it into a container so that the gelatin layer is no more than half a centimeter thick. Refrigerate until completely set. Finely dice the onion, add sugar, apple cider vinegar, warm boiled water, and let stand for 15–20 minutes.
