Economical recipes for the New Year. Menu for the New Year for every taste and budget

The fiery element of the previous two years will gradually be replaced by the power of an absolutely earthly sign - the Dog. Of course, you need to create a holiday menu taking into account the tastes of this animal, so that the coming year will bring joy. What subtleties should be taken into account, what dishes to prepare, as well as recipes for delicious dishes to celebrate the New Year - all this is below.

How to create a New Year's menu

New Year 2018 will allow you not to worry too much about choosing what to cook for the table. After all, the Dog is a fairly omnivorous animal. You can cook both fish and meat dishes. The Dog is also partial to fruits, especially bright ones. Be sure to put a dish with them on the table.

The symbol of the year also loves sweets. To appease the Yellow Dog, there must be dessert on the table, or better yet several types of it. Also place on the table a bowl of sweets in bright, rustling wrappers. You can make or order a cake based on the dog face idea, and also bake cookies in a similar shape. In the store you can find many suitable molds for this. Involve children in the process - after all, the Dog loves them very much.

There must be a figurine of a four-legged friend on the table. As for the dishes themselves, a couple or three can be arranged or decorated in a given style. For example, bake buns in the shape of a dog's face, arrange vegetables and biscuits in the same way.

And one more rule - the Dog does not like foods that are too fatty and heavy. When creating a menu for the New Year 2018, focus on this.

Gourmet recipes

Of course, an integral part of any holiday feast is snacks. Let's start with their recipes. The dog is quite omnivorous, so the choice of food is, in general, unlimited.

Appetizing snacks

The most popular and simple snack is lavash rolls. They can be made with almost any filling - meat, fish, vegetable, mushroom, and so on. We will dwell in more detail on the option with fish. We assure you that everyone will love this snack!

Lavash roll with salted fish

Ingredients	Quantity
any red lightly salted fish -	500 g
lavash -	3 sheets
cottage cheese -	200 grams
garlic -	1 clove
toasted sesame -	2 tablespoons
green onions -	3 feathers
dill -	1 bunch
eggs -	3 pieces
salt -	taste
Cooking time: 30 minutes	Calorie content per 100 grams: 235 Kcal

We start by boiling the eggs. Fill them with cold salted water and put on fire. Cook for about 12 minutes, then place them in ice water for easy cleaning.

Cut the fish into small cubes. Mix it with curd cheese. Finely chop the onion and dill. As a rule, the filling turns out to be quite salty due to the fish, but if it doesn’t seem right to you, add a little salt to the mixture.

We clean the eggs and chop them finely. Add to the filling. We begin to form a roll - put some of the filling on the first sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Place the second sheet in the same sequence. We finish our roll with a third sheet of pita bread and roll it tightly. Use film or foil. Place the snack in the refrigerator and leave it there for at least an hour.

You can easily replace products. For example, cottage cheese - cream or mayonnaise, red fish - canned fish.

Julienne in buns

A very simple and satisfying snack - an excellent choice for the New Year 2018. We take the following products:

champignon mushrooms – 300 grams;
cream – 1 glass;
flour – 2 tablespoons;
1 onion;
round buns - 5 pieces;
hard cheese – 150 grams;
salt and black pepper to taste.

Time costs – 1 hour. Calorie content – 370 kcal per 100 grams.

We start with the buns. Remove the crumb from the middle. It can be used to make croutons for other salads or soup. Now place the prepared buns in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 5 minutes.

At this time, fry the onion, cut into small cubes, in a frying pan. As soon as it becomes transparent, add mushrooms to it. It's best to cut them finely. Fry the mixture until the excess liquid evaporates. Take the cream and stir the flour into it. This must be done carefully so that there are no lumps left. Now pour the cream over the mushroom mixture and bring to a boil. Salt and pepper to taste.

Take the buns and put julienne into each one. Sprinkle cheese on top and place in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Delicious salads with beautiful decoration

The dog is a fairly omnivorous animal. But still, she clearly prefers meat and fish to all other products. Today we offer 2 recipes for delicious salads that are guaranteed to please guests on New Year's Eve 2018.

Salad "Men's Dreams"

So, to prepare this dish we need to take the following ingredients:

beef without fat and veins – 200 grams;
hard cheese – 130 grams;
eggs – 4 pieces;
vinegar - 4 tablespoons;
sugar – 3 tablespoons;
water – 4 tablespoons;
red onion - a couple of small onions;
mayonnaise – 100 grams; salt and black pepper to taste.

Time required – 30 minutes. Calorie content – 234 kcal per 100 grams.

Men will especially like this salad due to its satiety and the presence of meat. Women can also eat it without fear - if you remove the mayonnaise, the calorie content of the dish is about 190 kcal, which is very low.

First, let's start cooking the beef. To get tasty meat, you need to put it in boiling water. Add salt, black peppercorns, and bay leaf to it. Skim off the foam and then cook the meat for about 40 minutes. To speed up the process, the beef can be cut into small pieces. Especially tasty meat is obtained in a slow cooker or pressure cooker. Once the beef has cooled, cut it into small cubes.

Fill the eggs with water, place on the burner and cook after boiling for 12 minutes. Fill them with ice water for 20 minutes. At this time, marinate the onions.

Cut it into thin half rings. Mix water, sugar and vinegar. Pour this marinade over the onion and lightly mash it with your hands. In half an hour it will be ready. Please note that the water must be cold!

Grate the eggs. Now we begin assembling the “Men’s Dreams” salad:

Place the beef in the first layer and lightly grease it with mayonnaise.
Add the onion, slightly squeezed.
Grease the grated eggs with sauce.
Now sprinkle the finished salad with cheese.

You can also add other ingredients to this salad - olives, green onions, corn or beans.

Salad “Pomegranate bracelet”

An unusually beautiful dish, it will incredibly decorate the table for the New Year 2018! The salad is very filling and tasty. We take the following products:

potatoes - 3 small tubers;
carrot – 1 piece;
beets – 1 large;
large chicken leg;
walnut – 100 grams;
pomegranate – 1 piece;
eggs – 3 pieces;
1 large onion;
oil for frying;
mayonnaise – 200 grams;
garlic - 2 cloves;
salt, black pepper to taste.

Time costs – 1 hour. Calorie content – 344 kcal per 100 grams.

We begin the preparation of this dish by boiling the ingredients. These are potatoes, beets, carrots and eggs. Vegetables can be steamed, this will have a beneficial effect on the taste. After boiling, boil the eggs for 12 minutes, then fill them with cold water. Leave the potatoes, beets and carrots to cool, then peel and grate them on a coarse grater.

Now let's take care of the onions. Cut it into arbitrary cubes and fry in a frying pan with hot oil. The onion should take on a golden hue. Fry the walnuts in a separate dry frying pan. Then grind it with a kitchen hammer to small pieces.

It is best to boil the leg in salted water the day before to make it easier to cut. Freshly cooked meat falls apart and is difficult to cut. Some people use chicken fillet in the recipe.

Mix mayonnaise with chopped garlic. Next, it is best to place the sauce in a bag, from which we will cut off a corner to make a mayonnaise mesh.

Let's start forming the salad. To do this, place a glass or jar in the center of a large dish. Now we put the products in the following order:

part of chicken plus mayonnaise mesh;
potatoes plus mayonnaise and a little salt;
part eggs plus mayonnaise;
carrots plus mayonnaise;
Walnut;
leftover chicken plus mayonnaise;
remaining onion;
beets with mayonnaise;
pomegranate seeds;

Now carefully remove the jar or glass and add pomegranate seeds to the inside. Salad “Pomegranate Bracelet” is ready!

It is worth noting that many people do not prepare this salad because of the pomegranate. Meanwhile, it adds a special piquancy, and the seeds are especially useful.

Hot dishes

As mentioned above, the Dog loves fish, meat and poultry equally tenderly. Therefore, you are practically unlimited in choosing a hot dish. We offer New Year's recipes for several hot dishes that will take pride of place in the center of the table at the New Year's Eve 2018.

Chicken in flight

To prepare this juicy chicken you will need simple and inexpensive ingredients:

whole gutted chicken - 1 piece;
light beer - 1 bottle;
spices for chicken to taste;
garlic - 1 clove;
mayonnaise - a couple of tablespoons.

Time costs – 1.5 hours. Calorie content – 267 kcal per 100 grams.

So, carefully coat the chicken carcass with spices, salt and mayonnaise. It is best to leave it to marinate for a couple of hours.

For baking, we need a fairly large glass bottle. You can take a container from a mineral water or from another drink. If the chicken carcass is held on a beer bottle, you can use it.

You must first soak and remove the label. Pour beer into a bottle, add a little salt, crushed garlic and black pepper. Now we place the chicken on the bottle and place it in the oven.

Please note that there is no need to heat it up, otherwise the bottle or jar may crack. Now turn on the oven at 200 degrees. The chicken will be ready in about an hour. With this method of cooking, even the driest part - the breast - will be juicy and tasty.

Carbonade "Surprise"

This tender hot pork stew will please all guests. Due to the filling, the meat will be juicy and not tough. We take the following products:

pork carbonate – 1 kg;
cream – 1 glass;
1 large onion;
champignons – 100 grams;
cheese – 200 grams;
olives - half a jar.

Time costs – 2 hours. Calorie content – 400 kcal per 100 grams.

We will serve this dish in portions. In order to do this, we make “plates” with deep sides from foil. For each container, 1 piece of meat is calculated.

Cut the meat into steaks 1 centimeter thick. Salt, pepper and leave to marinate for half an hour. Now put a piece of meat into each foil plate, then a plate of champignons and a large onion ring.

Pour in cream so that it barely covers the meat. Place the meat in the oven for 30 minutes (temperature 200 degrees). Now add olives cut into rings into each container and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for another half hour.

You can replace the cream with sour cream or mayonnaise. A delicious dish is ready to serve on the New Year's table 2018.

Salmon in cream

For fish lovers - salmon.

This hot dish is very difficult to spoil! In addition, we will prepare the side dish right away.

salmon – 1 kg;
cream – 1 glass;
dill - a small bunch;
potatoes - 4 large tubers.
salt and black pepper to taste.

Time costs – 1 hour 25 minutes. Calorie content – 390 kcal per 100 grams.

So, the salmon needs to be cut into steaks. You can also buy fillets. Pour cream over the fish, add finely chopped dill and salt. Leave to marinate for about 30 minutes.

Cut the potatoes into large cubes. Throw them into boiling salted water. Cook the potatoes for 6 minutes until half cooked.

Place the fish in a deep dish and pour off the remaining creamy dressing. Put the potatoes there and send the dish to the oven, preheated to 190 degrees. The fish will cook very quickly, literally in half an hour. Since the potatoes are also almost ready, they won’t take much time.

Of course, salmon is now quite expensive. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase this particular fish, replace it with chum salmon, trout or pink salmon. In general, this recipe can be used to prepare not only red fish, but also white fish, such as cod. In the New Year 2018, all these options will be appropriate.

Desserts for the festive table in New Year 2018

All dogs have a terrible sweet tooth. So let's pamper the symbol of 2018 with dessert! Since you don’t want to cook very complicated dishes on the eve of the holiday, we offer this simple option:

Potato cake

anniversary cookies – 1 kg;
shelled walnuts – 170 grams;
butter – 80 grams;
powdered sugar – 2 tablespoons;
cocoa powder – 2 tablespoons;
condensed milk – 300 grams;
raisins or dried apricots – 1 cup (steamed);
coconut flakes for coating.

Time costs – 2 hours. Calorie content – 450 kcal per 100 grams.

The recipe for this dessert is very simple. We simply pass all the ingredients through a meat grinder or grind them in a blender. Add condensed milk and mix thoroughly. Now we make small cakes from this mass, roll them in shavings and let them harden in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Cake Smetannik

sour cream – 250 grams;
granulated sugar – 250 grams;
butter – 50 grams;
white flour – 2 cups;
cocoa – 2 tablespoons;
soda – 1 teaspoon;
vanilla sugar – 1 sachet.

For cream:

fat sour cream – 500 grams;
granulated sugar – 150 grams;
nuts optional - 130 grams.

Time costs – 1 hour 30 minutes. Calorie content – 345 kcal per 100 grams.

Making this cake for the New Year is quite simple. A food processor will make the task much easier.

Place softened butter and sand in a bowl. Grind until the mass is homogeneous. Now add sour cream and stir again. Now it's time for the flour. It is best to add it in small portions, stirring the dough each time. As soon as all the flour is mixed, add a teaspoon of soda.

It is better to prepare the cream in advance. It's simple - using a mixer, beat sour cream with two types of sugar. Once the mixture is well mixed, place the cream in the refrigerator.

Let's start baking the cakes. To do this, divide the dough into 3 parts. You can make 2 chocolate cakes, or one. You can do without cocoa altogether, but it will be tastier. So, mix cocoa into one part.

Take a baking pan (preferably a springform pan), cover it with parchment and pour out the dough. The oven should be preheated to 200 degrees. Let the cakes bake for about half an hour. The exact time depends on the oven. We check readiness with a toothpick - it should be dry. After baking, the cakes should cool well. You can cut each one in half.

Now we begin to form the cake - generously coat each layer with cream and add the next one. You can use nuts, fruits, jam and other fillings. The top of the cake is decorated with grated chocolate, the same fruits, nuts, or mastic.

What can you drink on the magical night of the Year of the Dog?

What holiday table is complete without your favorite drinks? And it doesn’t matter at all whether they are alcoholic or not. The coming 2018 Year of the Dog does not provide any restrictions on the choice of drinks.

You can choose whiskey, vodka, cognac, wine or champagne. However, do not forget that each drink requires its own special glass! For those who like experimenting, we offer several recipes for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Sangria

dry white wine – 1 liter;
canned pineapples - 1 small jar;
canned peaches – 3 large halves;
orange - 1 piece;
sugar - to taste.

Cut the orange into circles. Cut pineapples into small cubes, peaches into half rings. Pour cold wine over the fruit. If you don't have enough sweetness, add a little sugar or fruit syrup. Let the drink brew in the refrigerator.

Ginger lemonade

water - 1 liter;
lemon - half;
ginger - a piece the size of a hazelnut;
sugar – 2 tablespoons.

Bring the water to a boil. Cut the lemon into thin slices, add sugar to release the juice. Grate the ginger and put it in water. Let it cool a little and pour the liquid over the lemon and sugar. The drink tastes especially good after a couple of hours. In addition, you can drink it hot.

Strawberry liqueur

vodka – 750 ml;
package of frozen strawberries – 300 grams;
sugar – 150 grams;
lemon or lime juice - 1 tablespoon.

Sprinkle the strawberries with sugar and let them thaw completely. Add lime or lemon juice. Puree the resulting mixture using a blender. Pour vodka over the puree, shake thoroughly and put it in a dark place for a couple of days.

The liquor can be strained if desired. It should be consumed in moderation, like any other drink. By the way, this recipe is perfect for desserts. For example, you can pour liqueur over a regular ice cream.

It will look very beautiful on the table on New Year's Eve. Of course, this dessert can only be served to adults! Instead of strawberries, you can take raspberries, cranberries, currants and other berries that you have in your freezer.

In this case, it is better to adjust the amount of sugar to taste. For example, when using cranberries, you may need more of it.

Mulled wine

dry red wine – 1 liter;
sugar – 300 grams;
cloves - 2 pieces;
cinnamon - half a teaspoon;
zest of a whole lemon.

Mulled wine will be an excellent choice if you are planning to celebrate the New Year 2018 outdoors. Preparing the drink is as easy as shelling pears – put spices and sugar in a saucepan.

Remove the zest from the lemon using a grater. Add it to the rest of the ingredients. Pour the mixture with wine and bring almost to a boil. Hot mulled wine is ready!

So, the New Year's menu for 2018 has been compiled, recipes have been selected, and dishes have been prepared. One more question remains - how to beautifully decorate the room and the table itself?

Since the Dog is an earthly, calm sign, it is very fond of tones such as beige, sand, brown, and dark golden, green, as well as orange and rich dark red.

You can add several details of appropriate shades to the interior of the room, or you can use them to decorate the festive table.

A dog is a very active animal and loves nature, so it would be useful to pay attention to natural materials. For example, a tablecloth can be made of cotton or linen, and the same goes for napkins.

By the way, to decorate the table, it is best to take two tablecloths of different widths. We lay the main one on the table, as usual. Beige or soft sand tones are suitable. It is advisable to choose an additional (narrower) tablecloth in the following tones - dark red, green, brown.

We lay it in the middle of the table, as if creating a contrasting area for the dishes. This design looks very impressive.

We hope that you, your guests, and the patron of the year will enjoy our dishes. Try to celebrate the New Year 2018 noisily and cheerfully, as the Dog loves. Happy and joyful holidays to you!

As everyone already knows, the coming 2019 will be held under the sign of the Yellow Earth Pig. And therefore, according to the already established tradition, we began to take this fact into account when preparing for the solemn day.

We are trying to find out better what to expect from the coming period. We read horoscopes, trying to figure out how the Symbol of the next 365 days can affect our lives. And of course, we first of all prepare for the holiday, taking into account what the Master of the Year loves! To appease him, and so that he can help make the next part of our lives successful in all respects!

And for this we select the appropriate festive outfit for ourselves. We buy necessary and beautiful gifts for friends and relatives, and of course we set a beautiful festive table.

And there is not a single housewife or owner who would not ask himself the question “What to cook for the holiday table?” After all, this question is by no means rhetorical. On December 30 and 31, we will all put on aprons and settle down in our kitchen for a long time. After all, you need to have time to prepare appetizers, salads, main courses, and desserts.

And in order not to forget anything, and not to prepare anything unnecessary, you need to make a menu in advance. It will help you plan what you need to buy. Purchase items that can be stored for a long time in advance, and buy perishable foods the day before.

When creating a menu for the Year of the Yellow Pig, you need to take into account some features. Let's look at the wishes for the holiday menu.

Firstly, Pig is an omnivore, which means we will prepare dishes that are completely different and tasty.
secondly, Boar is not against different types of meat, and he will be happy with beef, lamb, chicken, fish and seafood. Do not forget that we do not serve pork in any form this evening.
Thirdly, the image of the Master of the Year in the design of dishes will be very useful.
fourthly, the bright, colorful design of the dishes will please Piggy. Who would refuse when such a holiday is organized in his honor?
fifthly, dishes should be homemade, tasty and prepared with love. It is always more pleasant to deal with a calm domestic Boar than with a hungry, angry boar.
Sixth, do not abuse strong drinks. Otherwise, you might accidentally fall asleep at the table, burying your face in the salad. And then everyone will not compare you with the Pig in the best way!!!

However, you can spend the outgoing year with dignity. To say thank you to the owner of the passed part of life is to thank the Yellow Dog for all the good things that she has done for us. Therefore, you can carry it out by making a small salad with her image.

Here are the main wishes for the menu. If you manage to follow them, it will be just great! The Boar and the Pig will not ignore this. They will understand that we show this respect and honor to them.

Well, it’s good for us too. We also want our holiday table to be beautiful and tasty, “at home”, set. Therefore, in this our desires coincide with him!

Let us offer you options for dishes from which you can create an excellent menu for your table without much hassle or long searches.

The menu, as it should be, includes appetizers and salads (and pay attention to the link that will take you to the most beloved and most in demand - there are a lot of them there!).

The main courses are presented with recipes for delicious and beautifully executed meat, fish, and duck.

I also paid a lot of attention to desserts and drinks. After all, we are preparing for a real big holiday. Therefore, we need to think about everything!

For the holiday table, we usually prepare several different types of appetizers, set out meat, fish and vegetable plates, prepare two or three salads, one main hot dish and dessert, it can be a cake, mousse, jelly, soufflé. Pies are often baked, dumplings are molded and boiled. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails and spirits are also served.

Happy New Year! And let your holiday table be the best!

Before we even had time to blink an eye, our favorite holiday – New Year – is already very soon. And, as usual, you want to come up with something so that your guests will be simply amazed by your culinary masterpieces prepared for the holiday. But I want even more not to spend too much on purchasing the necessary products to prepare these masterpieces. After all, the New Year means serious financial expenses: for, for new outfits and decorations, for and, for. Therefore, today we will talk about recipes for inexpensive dishes that can decorate your New Year's table.

In fact, there are a lot of such recipes. They can be easily found in cookbooks and on the pages of numerous culinary websites. But New Year is a special holiday. And it has already become a tradition to prepare for its celebration in accordance with one or another symbol of the coming year according to the Chinese calendar. Some people decorate their home, select outfits and prepare dishes, strictly following the recommendations of astrologers, some try not to break traditions, and some do everything their own way.

According to astrologers and orientalists, 2019 - the year of the Yellow Earthen Pig, which will replace the peace-loving and cheerful Dog - will be special and promises to be marked by family happiness, financial success and prosperity. But on one condition, that you yourself will persistently and conscientiously, with optimism and faith, achieve your goals. The Yellow Pig, although a kind person, really does not like lazy people, cunning people and deceivers.

According to the eastern calendar, the year of the Yellow Earth Pig begins on February 5, 2019 and will last until January 24, 2020.

The new symbol of the year, due to his temperament and cheerful character, loves everything tasty, bright and memorable. And when choosing New Year's dishes, we will focus on the tastes and preferences of the hardworking, active, optimistic and cheerful Yellow Pig, in order to please the patron of 2019 to the best of our ability.

The Yellow Pig simply loves all sorts of goodies and variety, so our festive dinner should not only be hearty with a lot of tasty dishes, but also perfectly suit the tastes of the symbol of 2019. The pig will be very “happy” if your holiday table is decorated with a large number of dishes from vegetables, cheese, fruits, and fish. But what definitely shouldn’t be on the holiday table is pork meat dishes (so as not to offend the symbol of the year).

The 2019 New Year's menu welcomes winter salads, cold appetizers, and hot fish dishes that can be prepared quickly and inexpensively. You can use any natural products, vegetables, tropical fruits, root vegetables with the addition of game meat and olive oil. And don't forget about greens. After all, Pigs occasionally nibble grass with pleasure and very willingly.

The hostess of the year will be pleased with the abundance of oranges, tangerines and other fruits, natural juices, and nut treats. A dish with truffles can be a real gift that fully suits the Pig’s taste. But it is clear that preparing such a culinary delight can fundamentally undermine the family budget set aside for the New Year celebration. As a budget alternative to truffles, you can use any other mushrooms.

In general, food should be healthy, not too heavy on the stomach and not too difficult to prepare. Here are a few recipes for dishes whose presence on this year’s New Year’s menu can truly please the future mistress of the year, the Yellow Pig.

Salad “Confusion in Florence”

It will take a little time to prepare this simple but delicious holiday salad with a strange but memorable name:

Place 2-3 lettuce leaves on a plate, covering its entire surface with them.
Prepare a mixture of pickled champignons cut into small pieces (150-200 g), red tomatoes (3 pcs.), yellow and red peppers (2 pcs. each), diced, and grated 3 hard-boiled eggs.
Salt all the ingredients, season with vegetable oil, mix and place on lettuce leaves.
Sprinkle lemon juice (1 tsp) on top and sprinkle with grated hard cheese (100 g).

All! The salad, which will become a real decoration of the festive table, is ready.

Polish salad

This is a very simple salad to make and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. To prepare it you will need fresh white cabbage (500 g), fresh cucumbers (100 g), ham (100 g), herbs (parsley, dill, green onions), salt, mayonnaise or sour cream.

The cabbage needs to be finely chopped, salted, mashed, add cucumbers cut into strips, ham and chopped herbs. Mix everything and season with mayonnaise or sour cream. Salad ready!

Salad “New Year's Nocturne”

Cabbage salad called “New Year's Nocturne” can be prepared much faster if you use household appliances.

Take chicken (200 grams), which we grind in a blender. Shred 200 g of white cabbage and chop 200 g of fresh cucumbers in a food processor. Then mix everything, add salt, add herbs and olive oil, and decorate with pear slices. Cooking time is literally a few minutes.

Tangerine salad with cheese and persimmon

This fruit salad with cheese will appeal to gourmets who are tired of the monotonous and traditional set of dishes on the New Year's table. The highlight of this dish, which makes it a great addition to a holiday dinner, is the red onion.

To prepare you will need:

1 large ripe persimmon;
2 juicy tangerines;
1 red onion;
soft or hard cheese (65 g);
a small bunch of lettuce leaves;
salt, black pepper - to taste.

We cut the washed and peeled persimmons (peel them in a thin layer, remove the seeds and stems) into small cubes and put them in a deep salad bowl. There we also add slices of peeled, white fibers and seeds of tangerines, finely chopped red onion, pre-washed and dried lettuce leaves torn into medium-sized pieces, spices, olive oil. Mix everything and sprinkle grated cheese on top.

All is ready!

Nostalgic vinaigrette

You can make a very healthy and undeservedly forgotten classic vinaigrette from vegetables. Maybe it’s not so exotic, but it’s tasty and inexpensive.

Everyone probably knows how to cook it. But just in case, let me remind you. You can boil the vegetables in advance. Cut carrots, beets and potatoes into cubes, mix with pickles, sauerkraut, onions, green peas, season with vegetable oil, sprinkle with dill and mix everything.

Hot meals and snacks

On the New Year's table in 2019, a worthy place will be taken by dishes prepared from rabbit meat, beef, lamb, poultry, delicious fish dishes from pike perch, perch, trout, salmon, salmon or exotic seafood, seasoned with delicious sauces of cheese, sour cream and herbs.

Snacks are very helpful in the pre-New Year bustle; they are prepared extremely quickly and simply and leave a lot of time for other pre-holiday activities.

To prepare this dish you will need potatoes, which need to be wrapped in foil and baked in the oven at 180 degrees. Cut the top of the potatoes, put in a slice of smoked salmon, pepper and finish the composition with a spoonful of sour cream.

Approximate cooking time is 40 minutes.

Chicken fillet pieces should be salted, peppered, seasoned with paprika and fried for 15 minutes in hot fat. Cool and cut into cubes.

Fill the tartlets with cottage cheese, put chicken on top and decorate with lemon balm leaves.

Mini rolls

For mini rolls (you can call them Russian rolls), lavash or pancakes are suitable. And for the filling - anything you like: salmon, ham and cheese, cod liver and eggs, greens, crab sticks, lettuce and mayonnaise

Stuffed snacks

Another way to decorate the New Year's table with inexpensive but tasty dishes is to prepare stuffed appetizers. You can stuff boiled potatoes, eggs, sweet peppers, eggplants and tomatoes.

For example, you can prepare bell peppers of different colors (red, yellow and green), stuffed with stewed vegetables or mushrooms with rice and grated cheese. Or cook eggs stuffed with red caviar with a sauce of yolks and mayonnaise.

Red tomatoes stuffed with any filling (cheese mass with garlic and mayonnaise, fried mushrooms and onions seasoned with mayonnaise, cod liver with a boiled egg and mayonnaise), laid out on a dish and decorated with herbs, are very decorative for the festive table.

Traditional jellied meat is also suitable as a snack. A very tasty and cheap dish.

And stuffed eggplants are not a treat for the New Year? This is how a dish called “karniyarik” is prepared in Turkey.

Eggplants (you need to take about six medium eggplants) are cut lengthwise, the core is removed (but not completely), rubbed with salt outside and inside, fried in sunflower oil on both sides, constantly turning.

For the filling, cut tomatoes (4 pieces): two into cubes and two into slices, one onion, a little hot pepper. Onions and peppers are fried in olive oil. Then minced meat is added there. Everything needs to be salted, peppered and simmered over low heat. When the meat is browned, add the tomatoes. Place the finished minced meat with vegetables in the eggplants and garnish with herbs.

Snacks from home supplies

On the festive table, pickled and pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, sauerkraut and mushrooms are always in demand, that is, everything that is prepared with your own hands from inexpensive seasonal products.

New Year's desserts

It’s hard to imagine a festive New Year’s table without an abundance of delicacies, sweets, all kinds of cakes, pies, pastries and delicious cookies. The Yellow Pig loves everything sweet. Therefore, nuts, homemade baked goods, sweets and baked goods with New Year’s symbols will be a good addition to the holiday table. And your imagination will tell you what to cook.

Delicious honey-ginger cookies in the shape of small Christmas trees, decorated with snow-white icing, almond cookies in the shape of stars, vanilla crescents and ginger balls, chocolate, nut, fruit pastries - all this is suitable for a fun holiday. The main thing is that in the year of the Yellow Pig all this is juicy, bright and appetizing.

If you have time left in the pre-New Year bustle, you can offer your guests delicious and fluffy chocolate muffins for dessert. Even a cook with no experience can prepare them. And it won’t take much time.

Melt 100 g butter and 100 g chocolate. If we use milk chocolate, we exclude sugar from the recipe. If we take dark chocolate, then beat eggs (3 pieces) with 40 g of sugar until it is completely dissolved.
Add a teaspoon of baking powder and flour (2 tablespoons) there. Mix. You can also add to taste: ground nuts, cinnamon, ground coffee.
Pour melted butter and chocolate into the prepared mixture and mix everything quickly.

The muffins turn out more tender the less flour they contain, so even if it seems like this ingredient is missing, you shouldn’t add more than in the recipe. Chocolate acts as a thickener in this recipe.

Fill silicone or paper molds with the prepared dough and dip pieces of white chocolate into the dough (the total mass will require from 50 to 100 g).
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 190 degrees.
Remove the dessert from the oven and serve warm (you can sprinkle with powdered sugar).

A simple recipe for delicious jelly

To prepare this delicious delicacy, we use any berry compotes, fruit juices and gelatin (at the rate of 15 g of gelatin per 400 ml of juice).

First dissolve the gelatin in 50 ml of hot water until a thickened, homogeneous mass is formed, which is poured into the juice. After mixing everything, pour into molds and put in the refrigerator. The jelly hardens in about 5 hours (the time depends on the quality of the gelatin).

If you prepare multilayer jelly, then the next layer can be poured only after the previous one has completely hardened. Before serving, the dessert can be decorated with mint leaves or grated chocolate.

You can decorate your holiday table by creating delicious compositions of fruits: oranges, tangerines, grapes, kiwi, pears and apples. Especially if you use the carving technique. This will help make the dish appetizing and memorable.

What drinks should you serve your guests?

In the Year of the Yellow Pig, the festive New Year's table can be decorated with any drinks. Although the abundance of strong alcohol may not be to the liking of the symbol of the year. It is enough to limit yourself to one or two of its types. In all other respects, rely on your choice and the preferences of the guests. These can be light wines, sweet liqueurs, delicious cocktails and, of course, sparkling champagne.

Natural juices, berry fruit drinks, fruit compotes and mineral water will not be superfluous on the New Year's table in 2019.

Making product lists

As you know, the degree of success of any business is determined by the degree of preparation. And even more so when it comes to celebrating the New Year. In order not to waste too much (this applies to both time and money), you need to draw up a menu in advance and a detailed list of all the products that may be needed to prepare New Year's dinner.

It is better to make two lists: for perishable products and products that can be stored for a long time. First of all, we buy shelf-stable products, long before the New Year. In this way, we save money (because food prices tend to rise closer to the New Year) and time, which is always in short supply on the eve of the holiday.

We use proven recipes

Each family usually has its own favorite New Year's dishes, recipes for which are passed down from generation to generation. Year after year, many of us, despite the huge number of new recipes that appear, traditionally prepare Olivier salad or herring “under a fur coat” for the festive New Year’s table.

In general, there is nothing wrong with this. And if you really can’t part with traditional New Year’s dishes, then you can try to modify them a little by adding some new products instead of the generally accepted ones. For example, instead of boiled sausage, you can try adding lightly salted salmon to the Olivier salad.

You should not experiment for the New Year with complex and exotic dishes that you have never tried or cooked before. It may simply not work out, or the dish will turn out to be not at all as tasty as you expected. Therefore, it is better to take proven recipes for your favorite dishes or try in advance to make what you plan to cook for the New Year's holiday table.

To please the symbol of the New Year, experts advise this year to decorate and serve the festive table in accordance with the general style of holiday home decoration. Unlike the noble Dog, the predecessor of the Pig, who prefers modesty over excessive pomp, the symbol of 2019 adores luxury and splendor, has a keen sense of beauty and has a somewhat pretentious taste.

But the main thing here is not to overdo it and not to overload the interior with sparkling attributes of the New Year's holiday. The festive table should look rich, varied and elegant: beautifully decorated salads, decorated fruit and vegetable slices will harmoniously complement golden candles, crystal, place settings and snow-white napkins. Rely on your intuition. The main thing is to create an atmosphere of a real holiday. Try it, experiment.

Happy New Year holidays to you!

To celebrate the Year of the Fire Rooster, it is best to include fish in the New Year's menu for 2017 and not use poultry. Cooking fish is as easy as poultry, and the meal is light and delicious.

This delicious dish will take you about half an hour to prepare. Cut the fish into thin narrow strips (no wider than 5 cm). Each piece must be sprinkled with lemon juice and fried a little in butter in a frying pan, twisted into a spiral of any shape. Prepare a sauce from onions and garlic: finely chop and fry in oil, pour in the wine and evaporate the alcohol, add cream. Grind the finished sauce in a blender. Eggplants and zucchini are cut into slices and fried in butter. Since this is a portioned dish, you should prepare pieces of foil in the form of baskets, put vegetables, grated cheese inside one by one, a fish roll or spiral on top, and place in the oven before guests arrive so that the cheese melts. Top with a bunch of greens, a cucumber pinwheel or a slice of lemon - to taste.

Serve the dish only with white wine; you can please your guests with Chinese chopsticks: stick them in each foil cup. It looks original, and at the same time you will find out which of the guests knows how to use Chinese chopsticks.

Sprinkle each slice of cooked pork with white pepper, tarragon or basil and let sit (marinate) for a while. Dip the finished pork slices into sour cream, place in a mold lined with foil on the inside, pour in the remaining garlic-sour cream mixture, carefully close the edges, and roll to form a closed box. Now you can bake in a preheated oven (about 200 degrees).

The meat will be ready in 1 hour 30 minutes, take out the foil box, let it stand for about five minutes, place it in the middle of a large dish, arrange boiled cauliflower florets, potatoes, and tomatoes around it to make a bright dish. You can put a bunch of dill or parsley on the meat - this is according to the hostess’s taste. The result is a very tasty, aromatic dish, your guests will be delighted.

Please note that a baking sleeve is required to prepare this dish.

Gently dry the cooked carcass with a paper towel. Next, you should rub the carcass very thoroughly with salt, preferably from the inside. The carcass is also rubbed with the spices you chose, if only pepper, then with pepper.

The next step is preparing the fruit. Carefully peel the apples and remove the seed pod. You can simply cut the lemon into half rings; you can peel it in the same way as apples and chop it.

The goose has been well salted and peppered, now it’s time to stuff it very tightly with fruit. It is advisable to mix apples and lemon, this will make the meat tastier. When the goose is full, place it in the roasting bag. Do not use foil; in the sleeve it languishes in its own juices, the meat turns out tender. Don't forget to sew up the belly with white thread!

The oven should be heated to 160 degrees. At this temperature the goose simmers for about 4 hours. Then carefully drain the fat from the sleeve and send the goose to finish frying - a beautiful crust will form on it.

Any vegetables are served as a side dish: potatoes, cauliflower. Don’t forget about apples, they look very beautiful and are incredibly tasty!

Grease the finished cakes with plum and apple jam, place on top of each other, cover and place a weight on them. The cake (gingerbread) is prepared in advance so that it has time to soak in the jam.

Beverages

In the year of the Fire Rooster, decorate your table with bright drinks. The best container for such drinks is completely transparent, preferably shallow. Striped cocktails with a high stem look beautiful. Before you start pouring the ingredients into the glass, cool it, so the stripes will be clearer and the pattern will look brighter and more expressive. In addition, you will need a flat knife to pour the drink into the glass.

Each “striped” cocktail always has several words, the bottom one should be the densest, and therefore the sweetest. The top ones are usually alcoholic; for children it is worth replacing them with milk or cream. Such cocktails can be prepared in advance; with the correct recipe, the layers will not mix. Such cocktails with fire look interesting - you need to set the top layer on fire before serving and bring the glasses into the room with the guests in the dark. A great idea for the year of the Fire Rooster, you will agree.

Cocktail “Dream”

Orange liqueur 30 ml
Cream liqueur 20 ml
