Mandarinka herring appetizer

1 . Stage

For this appetizer, the vegetables are better baked, so they will be less watery and more flavorful. And it will improve the final taste, and in addition, all sorts of browning will give natural color transitions. I do this ahead of time, put the vegetables to bake in the evening and then leave them in the oven to cool until morning. By the way, it is better to take carrots of bright color if possible.

2 . Stage

The vegetables should be grated by hand or in a food processor, as I did. In different containers.

3 . Stage

Cut the herring into small cubes.

4 . Stage

For the final result to be tasty - each component must be tasty. Add salt, pepper and mayonnaise to the potatoes. Add mayonnaise gradually: the mass should remain plastic, not liquid, but juicy. In the carrots add only a little mayonnaise, so as not to remove the color and salt it, let it be naturally sweet. And add mustard with grains to the herring: this will give a spice and sourness, and visually it will be beautiful.

5 . Stage

Begin to form our "tangerines". Put in the palm of your hand, greased with vegetable oil, about a tablespoon of potatoes kneaded into a cake, put more herring and cover the top, forming a ball.

6 . Stage

Carefully seal the layer of potatoes with a layer of carrots, forming tangerines. Place the finished products on a dish lined with lettuce leaves or dill sprigs.
