Fish Salad “Mimosa”

It’s a popular festive dish in Ukraine. Many friends of mine (including me, of course) cook this dish for birthdays and other holidays.

1 tin of sardines
1 jar of mayonnaise
1 onion
100g of butter
100g of cheese
5 hard-boiled eggs

It’s a dish that consists of several layers of food in a in a bowl. Separate the whites and yolks of the hard-boiled eggs. Grate the whites into the bowl. It’ll be the first layer. Grate the cheese (the 2nd layer). Put the tinned sardines on a plate and crush them with a fork until they get soft. Then divide the crushed sardines into two halves, and put a half into a bowl, making the third layer. Cover it with half a jar of mayonnaise. For the next layer grate the frozen butter into the bowl. Chop the onion. Put the chopped onion onto butter. Then put the rest of the sardines, and cover with half a jar of mayonnaise. Finish by grating the yolks onto the top of the salad. Put into refrigerator and let it stay for half an hour. Then you may serve it, putting into each plate a piece of salad so that there are all the layers in it.
