The story behind this recipe
The Shuba salad has a lot to say for itself, both visually and in terms of taste. I find it to be the most successful smoked fish recipe I have ever eaten.
The original recipe calls for marinated herring (though I chose trout), and it is served especially on New Year's Eve. I think it is their version of salad boeuf.
The ingredients needed for this wonderful salad to serve 2 people are:
200 grams of smoked trout (I warmly recommend the one from Valeputna)
half a boiled beetroot
2 medium carrots
half a red onion or 2 stalks of green onion
200 grams of red cabbage
2 medium boiled potatoes
2 boiled eggs
2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
salt
pepper
Mix the chopped red cabbage with the mayonnaise and a pinch of salt.
Assemble in a salad mold and add the grated potato, seasoned with a little salt and pepper.
The next layer consists of grated carrot mixed with chopped onion, along with salt and oil to taste.
Continue with the smoked trout torn into small pieces, then grate a whole boiled egg on top. Decorate with grated, seasoned beetroot, and the salad is ready :)
You can also assemble it in a glass dish or individual serving bowls. The choice is yours. The taste is what matters, and believe me, you won't want to wait until New Year's Eve to serve this wonderful combination.
Enjoy!
