Description
Once, in the late 80's, that salad I was treated to my neighbors – two friendly older Kazakh women, mother and daughter. I only remember that the salad was an unusual Golden color and very tasty! Looking for a recipe, I "shoveled" the whole Internet but couldn't find one. Had memory to restore the forgotten old, but so warm and dear memories of their young years! "Elton" is a more modern name of the salad, and the old fashioned way it sounded - "Altyn-Nur" or "Altan-Nuur", which translated from Mongolian means "GOLDEN LAKE". This name in the old days, was called the miraculous healing of the lake, the bottom of which, according to ancient legend, hid their gold Khan Mamai...

Cooking
A special highlight of the salad is that it is only in a yellowish-Golden tones...like placer gold of Khan Mamai, the legend of which I will explain at the end of the recipe. Carrots grate on a coarse grater, add sugar, a pinch of salt, squeezed garlic and lemon juice. Stir and leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
In a glass of hot water with a pinch of salt and 1/3 teaspoon turmeric. Pour the rice and cook on slow heat for about 15 minutes until the water has evaporated. Cool. Slightly frozen meat is cut into thin slices. The original should be veal, but you can try to cook with other meats – pork, duck or chicken. I only had pork. Then I decided to experiment and make a salad with pork.
Plates of meat finely chopped, onion cut into strips.
In a pan pour vegetable oil, slightly warmed. To breed in the remaining turmeric. Spread the meat and onion, fry on slow fire to readiness. It is necessary periodically to stir. At the end add salt, a pinch of black pepper, stir and leave on heat for another 5 minutes. To cool down a bit.
Eggs boil, to separate proteins from the yolks. Protein RUB on a small grater. And now, to strictly act within the Golden-yellow tones, it is necessary to overcome the pickled carrots and the resulting juice pour grated proteins, literally for 10 minutes. Proteins will acquire a nice, soft peach color.
To assemble the salad should take a deep bowl or salad bowl, in the shape of a trapezoid. I have a bowl height 7 cm, diameter 18 cm On the bottom put the carrots, to flatten, to press, to grease with mayonnaise.
Then comes a layer of cheese, grated on a coarse grater. To grease with mayonnaise.
Grated proteins wring out the juice and flatten them the next layer. For squirrels to put meat with onions, flatten, press and grease with mayonnaise.
The last layer is the rice, which should be the same flatten, squeeze well. To grease with mayonnaise.
The salad, cover with cling film and put in the fridge for an hour to impregnate. Before serving a bowl of salad to lay flat dish. Carefully turn the top layer was carrot. To be honest, then something else to do with a salad I hadn't, I mean a sprinkling of grated yolk... the salad was just gorgeous! But, you have to go through, once I wanted to bring to life forgotten old!
All this extraordinary beauty sprinkle, "loose gold" yolk, grated on a fine grater.
The salad turned out juicy, unusual and very tasty!
