For that
special day, we are sharing with you our magic: the very
famous โ€œ
????โ€ (Herring
under a fur coat)!


STORY

โ€œSHOUBAโ€ translates to โ€œHERRING UNDER A FUR COATโ€ for short. It is a much-loved
Russian meal popular during Theophany. โ€œSHOUBA
โ€ is a warm
winter fur coat worn in Russia for hundreds of years. Herring Under a Fur
Coatย consists of layered potato, herring, carrots, beets, mayonnaise and
grated egg which makes the dish look like itโ€™s covering the herring by a bright
purple fur coat.

    of a salad dish or mold. Top with the diced onion. Spread mayonnaise on
    top in a thin layer.
  • Once cool, peel and grate the potatoes,
    carrots and beetroot, keeping them separated.
  • Layer the potatoes on top of the onion.
    Spread with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Top with the grated carrot, then
    another layer of mayonnaise. Next add a layer of grated egg, then
    mayonnaise. Finally, top with the beetroot and then a final thin layer of
    mayonnaise.
  • Cover salad with cling film, then chill in
    the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
