Herring Under a Blanket

Śledzie pod pierzynką

This herring salad has few layers of ingredients with herring on the bottom of it, that is why it is usually called Herring Under a Blanket. This is one of my favorite herring dishes for Christmas Eve and Christmas.

  3. Thank you so much for this recipe! I had this several years ago at a Russian/Georgian restaurant where they called it “Herring Under A Fur Coat”. I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy the pickled herring or the beetroot (not common ingredients here) but all of the flavors in this salad were so delicious together. I will save this recipe so I can make it for our next festive occasion.
