We rub the carcass on all sides with salt and ground pepper (salt is not needed if you previously soaked the goose). Use wooden skewers or toothpicks to cover the throat of the goose with the skin. We stuff the goose with apples and onions with cumin and sew up the hole (skewers or toothpicks will do). We tie the legs with a non-synthetic thread. Using a skewer or other sharp object, we make punctures in the skin of the carcass so that fat is better rendered from it. We send the goose with apples to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 50-70 minutes. The goose should lie on the breast, back up.

After the specified time, carefully turn the carcass over and fry the same amount more, periodically pouring the goose with melted fat. Next, bring to readiness (when the meat is punctured, the juice from the carcass should flow transparently), depending on the oven and the size of the bird.

We let the finished bird stand for 10-15 minutes, covering it with foil to make it juicier. Serve to the table with sauce, and the filling can be used as a side dish.

Put onion in it and fry, add garlic, ginger and apple. Cook for 5 more minutes. Add cranberries, pour in water.

And I hope that those who have tried these dishes, appreciated them. Today we will take a look at delicious recipe, from the series - fish dishes - which can be prepared even for a holiday. This recipe is especially useful for those who cannot eat fried foods.

In the pre-holiday bustle, they devote a lot of time to choosing gifts, decorating their homes, they begin to plan an outfit for the celebration in advance, and they do all this, taking into account the features and requirements of the symbol of the upcoming New Year.

It cannot be said that the table receives little attention, but when buying expensive products, housewives are more likely to focus on the preferences of their family, from year to year they cook even their favorite, but the same dishes. This is a big mistake. Treats at the meeting of the New Year should be given special attention.

What to put on our beautiful table?

When deciding what to cook for the Year of the Rooster and what menu to choose for the New Year, we will take into account the preferences of the future symbol - elegance, simplicity, naturalness. To appease the Fire Rooster, remember that this is a bird that cannot be called greedy. That's why the main wish for the New Year's table is prosperity, not excess. Do not try to excel in culinary delights - dishes should be understandable, not too pretentious, but suggest a choice for a wide variety of tastes.

The traditional set - appetizers, salads, cuts, sandwiches, hot dishes and dessert - will provide a tasty and plentiful feast worthy of a fiery representative of birds.

What has no place on the table

In order not to upset the proud bird, think about what dishes on your menu the Rooster would not be happy about. The answer will come immediately - prepared from his relatives!

Rule number 1 for the New Year's table 2017: no chicken! If you really like roast poultry, it’s better to cook some competitor in the poultry yard: duck, goose or turkey.
Too frankly served egg dishes can alert a Rooster who is responsible for its offspring: stuffed, aspic or used entirely in a salad, for example, in the form of mushrooms or snowmen. At the same time, eggs may well be part of other dishes: it is no secret that chickens willingly feast on them.

Preferred products for New Year's dishes

When thinking about compiling a menu, choose products that are to the taste of your family and guests, while not contradicting the symbolism of this year.

A maximum of vegetables, the most diverse, better multi-colored, especially "fiery" shades.
Fish and other seafood: a representative of oriental culture (Chinese calendar!) is sure to please.
Side dishes are always to the taste of the feathered symbol. Of course, cereal dishes may seem rustic for the New Year's table, but the same rice can be prepared in a very unusual and festive way.
Salads shouldn't be too complicated, with large quantity Ingredients: Rooster loves "clear", simple, traditionally favorite tastes. Prepare your family's favorite holiday salads.
For dessert, take care of baking, because the grains from which the flour is made are the first delicacy for the Rooster, and then they will remain so tasty crumbs! It is better that the dishes are prepared with your own hands, and not bought ready-made: Domestic bird will appreciate the invested family energy and increase it. Highly a good option – painted gingerbread hung on a Christmas tree. The village bird will be pleased and cottage cheese desserts like a cheesecake.
Do not skimp on the greens: what could be better for a rooster than fresh grass? Use it in salads, as well as when decorating dishes.
When choosing between homemade and store-bought, opt for more natural products. For example, mayonnaise for salads home cooking much tastier than store-bought, and milk for custard it doesn't have to be powdery. To that New Year's table you need to put your hands on it: believe me, the result will be worth it!

Chicken meat can always be replaced with turkey, or any other, and chicken eggs with indo-duck, or quail.

For drinks Rooster special requirements does not show, but still, as a male representative, stronger options will be to his taste, although you should not refuse traditional champagne under the chiming clock.

Hot dish. What is the main dish to choose for the year of the Rooster

There are two options here: either a traditional chicken, or quails prepared in the same way, a duck, or a goose. They will yield in terms of taste to the chicken, and maybe the guests will like it more.

You can also cook a beef roll as a main dish, or a home-style roast with pork. It does not hurt to bring the dish to a crisp during cooking, and decorate brighter when serving.

We offer a choice of several New Year's hot dishes.

So it's time to do what you love - to prepare a selection of recipes for New Year's menu. It’s better to think everything over in advance, make a list of dishes, buy ingredients, so that you don’t hang around for hours in lines.

This time, a selection of photo recipes will be interesting, since 2017 is the year of the fiery rooster, and this obliges us to something. I can’t say that I truly believe in all sorts of such signs. Rather, it's just a game - to create a menu for the New Year's table that will help you to spend the coming 2017 happier, more successful and more fun!

And everything has to do with it. Let's see what he is - the Fire Rooster, that he loves and pamper him and ourselves. Let's check which gastronomic moves Petya disapproves of. This year we'll have to pretend we don't eat chicken. Yes, I really will not cook chicken, turkey and traditional duck in apples.

In the casting of recipes for the New Year's menu-2017, I checked whether the dish falls under these simple requirements:

The dish should be bright and elegant, like the iridescent plumage of a bird.
The recipe should be simple and affordable - after all, a rooster is not an exotic bird, dear
No feathers on the menu
Necessarily - a dish of cereals (pie, cake, legumes in salads, etc.)
More recipes with vegetables.

These were the requirements dictated by the "year of the rooster". Now I’ll add a couple of wishes from myself as a chef:

All recipes should be simple, because you don’t want to smoke at four burners all day
If possible - without expensive ingredients, here I agree with the cockerel one hundred percent.

So, if you approve of such "input data", read on for my selection of photo recipes for celebrating the New Year.

A few simple New Year's salads

A logical continuation - what to do with a fur coat? I think this year - to be a fur coat! Inexpensive, bright, loved by everyone and not subject to the sanctions of the Rooster, since there is no chicken meat. By the way, there is no ban on chicken eggs, right?

I have one interesting recipe fur coats. My friends recently gave me a very sensible variation of the salad. It differs in that it has a minimum of mayonnaise and there is an apple. Now I will briefly describe the layers. All ingredients, except for herring and onions, are rubbed on a grater and laid in layers in the following sequence:

Boiled potatoes
Herring or salmon cubes
Finely chop the onion (pre-scald with boiling water)
Drizzle with a little refined vegetable oil
Boiled potatoes
Mayonnaise with a light mesh
Apple
Mayonnaise with a light mesh
boiled carrots
Mayonnaise with a light mesh
Beet.

Note that mayonnaise only goes at step 7. I recently tested this fur coat recipe and everyone liked it. The apple fits perfectly, makes the salad spicier and juicier. This is probably now my favorite version of the main winter salad.

Snacks for the New Year's table

First of all, let's think about how we can put a legume recipe on the table. And therefore - just "must have" (eng. - "should be") on the New Year's table.
