Recipe for raw food "herring" under a fur coat
To prepare a raw food version of "herring" under a fur coat, you will need the following products:
- 1 large carrot;
- 1 large beet;
- 1 avocado;
- 200 grams of champignons;
- 1-2 zucchini;
- 1 large head of red onion;
- 3-4 sheets of dried nori seaweed;
- greens;
- lemon juice;
- sea salt;
- spices to taste.
The main condition for a raw food diet is that food used in food should not be cooked. Therefore, “herring” under a fur coat is prepared exclusively from raw ingredients.
First of all, prepare the main ingredient for this salad - "herring". Her role will be played by pickled mushrooms and nori, which gives the salad a "fishy" taste.
Wipe the mushrooms thoroughly with a damp cloth or towel, chop them finely and soak overnight in salted water, to which add lemon juice, spices to taste and dry Provencal herbs.
Chop the seaweed and, without mixing with the mushrooms, also soak for half an hour or an hour.
Raw-food "herring" under a fur coat will become even more piquant if you mix carrots with a quarter of an apple.
Wash the carrots and beets. Peel all the vegetables used in the salad: onions, zucchini, carrots and beets, and avocados. Finely chop the onions, mash with a little sea salt and a few drops of lemon juice. Grate the rest of the ingredients on a coarse grater.
Prepare a special mayonnaise to dress herring under a fur coat.
Mayonnaise recipe for raw herring under a fur coat
To prepare mayonnaise, you need to take:
- 1 tablespoon of shelled sunflower seeds or cashews;
- 1 tablespoon of mustard powder;
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar;
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice;
- 1-2 cloves of garlic;
- 1 teaspoon of honey;
- sea salt;
- ground black pepper.
Peel the garlic cloves and sunflower seeds and grind them together in a blender. Then add mustard powder, sea salt, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper, pour in apple cider vinegar and mix everything with a mixer or blender.
If you prepare mayonnaise in advance and keep it in the refrigerator overnight, it tastes better.
Put the resulting mayonnaise in the refrigerator for an hour and a half to brew.
Then put the ingredients prepared for raw food "herring" under a fur coat in layers: 1st - pickled champignons; 2nd - avocado; 3rd - nori seaweed; coat generously with mayonnaise, 4th - zucchini; 5th - beets, mayonnaise again, 6th - onions; 7th - carrots; 8th - beets, brush with mayonnaise. If food remains, layers can be repeated.
Garnish the cooked raw herring under a herring coat and refrigerate for a few hours for better soak.
