Salad with chicken breast
Chicken salad recipe
First of all, soak the raisins in rum. If you don’t have it, then cognac or brandy will do just fine. Also no? Well then, let there be water. Place the salad mix on a large flat plate. Today I had regular lettuce leaves and arugula on hand (I love it). Chop the onion into thin half rings (I have half a rather small head) and place it on the salad mix. Next come the grapes. It should be of the sweet variety. If the grapes are large and contain seeds, cut each berry into 2 halves and remove the seeds.
I always make this salad if I previously had oven-baked chicken on the menu. Our family is not the most ardent fan of breast, so it always remains partially and its direct path is in salads. Cut the breast into small pieces and distribute over the salad.
On top - raisins. Dressing - just mix vinegar, oil, a pinch of salt and sugar with a fork. If you don’t have fresh tarragon, use dry tarragon like I did this time (you need a couple of pinches). Is there none? Well, we’ll get by, although he’s very much on topic there! About the Provence spice mixture. I have tried a lot in my time and have definitely settled on one company. For a light aroma you literally need 3 turns of the mill.
Drizzle dressing over salad. Bon appetit!
Feta cheese appetizer “Snowballs”
How to make a feta cheese appetizer
Peel and press the garlic. Place the cheese in a bowl, add a tablespoon of fresh oregano leaves (chop if large), a tablespoon of thyme leaves, garlic and mix well with a fork. This time I didn’t have fresh thyme, I used dry thyme and not a tablespoon, but a teaspoon. Of course, you can mix it in a blender, but then the consistency of the cheese will slightly liquefy and the “snowballs” will blur a little. But, if you put everything in the refrigerator, after a while the cheese mixture will thicken again. Next is basil. I suggest taking a mortar and grinding it thoroughly. If you don’t have a mortar, then use a blender again: pour oil into it, add basil and mix until smooth.
Place the basil along with the resulting juice in a bowl, add olive oil and mix. Of course, if you don’t like or don’t have olive oil, you can totally use vegetable oil. In a plate, mix crackers (they should be white) and grated cheese. With wet hands, form small balls from the cheese mixture and roll them. We take a plate in which we will serve the appetizer and pour our food into it through a strainer. aroma oil. I don't always remove the basil. I'm quite comfortable with him too. Serve with sliced baguette, for example. You can dry it a little in a frying pan or oven, or you can just fresh it, with a delicious crispy crust.
Hot:
Fish baked with sauce
Preparation:
Place the fish in a baking dish. Sprinkle the fish with lemon juice on all sides (this is done not only to add flavor, but also to make the fish less boiled). Salt and pepper. Next, let's make the sauce. In a separate bowl, melt the butter and fry the flour in it until golden color. Stirring continuously, pour in a glass of cream or milk. Add mustard nutmeg, pepper, salt and finely chopped parsley. Stir everything continuously and bring to a boil (but do not boil).
The sauce should thicken. Pour the sauce over the fish, add on top of each butter pieces and place in the oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes. It is very important not to overcook the fish, otherwise it will turn out boiled and fall apart. 5. We take out the fish baked in the sauce, everything is ready. Before serving, you can garnish with lemon and tomato slices.
Dessert:
Preparation:
In a small saucepan, combine cream, cinnamon and chili powder. Bring to a boil while heating over low heat and stirring. Add chocolate, broken into small pieces, and butter. Remove from heat and stir until all ingredients are combined into a homogeneous mass. If the mixture cools too quickly and the butter and chocolate do not have time to melt (for example, if you forgot to take the butter out of the refrigerator first to soften it), gently heat the entire mixture over water bath. Then add cognac and stir until smooth. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the mixture is completely cool and firm.
Place cocoa powder in a small bowl. Using a ball scoop or a simple small spoon, “scoop” the frozen chocolate mixture and roll it into a ball. Truffles don't have to be perfectly round. The less perfect they are in shape, the more they justify their name, because truffle mushrooms are precisely irregular in shape. Dip the truffles in cocoa powder and place on a plate or in a special paper mold. Serve immediately or refrigerate in a tightly sealed container. You may need to recoat truffles that have been stored in the refrigerator in cocoa.
Action plan:
A week before the holiday
Chocolate truffles can be made a week before the holiday, or a month before. IN finished form they will wait their time in the freezer. So, in the pre-New Year bustle, we simply choose a day when it would be nice to lift our spirits by working with sweets. chocolate mass and making sweets.

Bake the chicken breast for the salad and quickly mix the sauce. We remove the finished product chicken fillet into the refrigerator, where the sauce is sent in a small jar with a tightly screwed lid. Soak raisins in cognac, rum or other strong alcohol. We will need it for the salad. In the evening we bake the fish; on a holiday we will only need to heat it up, and transfer the truffles from the freezer to the refrigerator. We also prepare the cheese appetizer sauce in advance, which we store in the refrigerator for up to an hour.

Cut the champignons into thin slices.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the spinach in it for two minutes.
Add the mushrooms and cook until the moisture has completely evaporated. Salt and pepper to taste. Cool completely.
Grind cottage cheese with horseradish and sour cream. Carefully separate the baked dough layer by layer (it crumbles, but that’s not a big deal). You should get 4 layers. Moreover, the convex upper layer will be the base, and the lower flat one will be the top.
Lubricate the bottom layer with half curd filling, lay out thin slices of smoked salmon.
Cover with a second layer. Place spinach and champignons on top. On top is the third layer and again a layer of curd cheese(put 2 tablespoons aside) and salmon. Cover with the remaining dough.
Wrap the resulting “cake” tightly in film and put it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Then unwrap it, grease it with the remaining cheese and horseradish, sprinkle almond petals and cut into 4 cakes with a very sharp knife.
Cheese sticks made from puff pastry
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Lightly beat the egg with a fork or small whisk. Brush it onto a sheet of puff pastry (previously defrosted). Then cut the dough into strips 1 cm thick.
Twist them into spirals and place on a prepared baking sheet (greased, lined with baking paper or silicone mat). Sprinkle with grated cheese and sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown crust for about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
Salad with bell pepper, cucumber and cheese
Wash the lettuce leaves, dry them and tear them with your hands. We cut everything else: cucumbers, cheese, peppers into thin, short strips. bell pepper I like the green one in this salad. Its bitterness harmonizes perfectly with the cheese. We cut the onion into thin half rings. Hard cheese does not particularly want to be cut into strips, this is possible, but not essential).
Next we make the salad dressing. To do this, mix and beat the juice, vinegar, vegetable or olive oil, sugar and salt until the consistency of the emulsion. Season the salad, sprinkle lightly with pepper (to taste) and serve immediately.
Hot:
Puff pastry roll with turkey
Wash spinach or chard leaves and blanch for a couple of minutes in boiling water. Remove and place on a towel to blot off excess water.
Mix ground turkey with two raw eggs, ground breadcrumbs (I never use ready-made breadcrumbs, I always grind dry bread myself in a blender), mustard, salt and pepper well. In principle, you can add a little finely chopped and fried onion to the minced meat if you want. Mix the minced meat thoroughly.
Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and place a layer of ready-made, defrosted puff pastry. I usually transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator in the evening and in the morning the dough is ready to use.
Place the minced meat on the dough in an even layer, stepping back one centimeter from the edge. Place a layer of blanched spinach leaves (if using) and 4 hard-boiled, peeled eggs on top of the minced meat.
Talk one out raw yolk with one tablespoon of cream. Use a brush to brush the edges of the dough and roll it up. Pinch tightly and turn seam side down. Brush the entire roll with yolk and bake in an oven preheated to two hundred degrees for 25 minutes. If the top starts to brown too much, cover it with parchment paper. Ready roll Let the puff pastry cool slightly, cut into pieces and serve.
Recipe for roasted meat in pieces
Dessert:
Ice cream cake
Preparation:
First, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it melt at room temperature. You want it to be at least soft.
Meanwhile, grind the cookies into fine crumbs. All methods are good here. You can put it in a bag and roll it several times with a rolling pin. Or just grind it in a blender. Add butter. Then combine all this with condensed milk. You should end up with a soft sticky mass that can easily take any shape.
And we begin to spread this mass into a mold covered with cling film. The edges of the film must hang down.
Try to spread the layer of cookies evenly; to do this, use a smaller pan. “Tamp down” the cookies as much as possible. Next, simply whip the cream according to the instructions on the package and combine it with the melted ice cream. Also add to ice cream chocolate syrup and mix everything again. Now you can safely pour the sweet mass into the bowl. Cover it with the hanging ends and place it in freezer for the night. In the morning, carefully pull the ends of the film and turn the cake over onto a plate, then remove the film. Decorate as desired fresh berries or nuts.

We also cut the legs. You should get a layer of chicken meat on the skin. If you damage the skin somewhere when removing bones, it’s not at all scary. Beat the meat a little and add salt. Separately, stir 5-6 eggs with a fork and fry a thin omelette in a wide frying pan. Transfer the omelette to a layer of chicken meat and roll it up. Wrap the roll in two layers of cloth or gauze.

5. Take a piece of salted fish out of the freezer. After 15 minutes it will be thawed enough for slicing. Cut into thin pieces and place on a plate. Decorate with lemon slices and herbs.
6. Valovany. We take out the puff pastries. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off the top of each roll. Place 10 valovans on one dish. Place a small piece of butter in the center of each. Add two-thirds of a teaspoon of red caviar on top of the oil. One can of 120 grams is enough for 10 valovanov.

Place the skewers on a baking sheet. You need to bake them for 10 minutes at 200 degrees in a preheated oven. Therefore, I advise you to put them in the oven when the guests are already at the table. And don't forget to set the timer!!! To avoid drying out the kebabs.
9. Tartar. The simplest version of the sauce. Served with fish skewers. Mix grated cucumbers, sour cream and mayonnaise. Add grated garlic and finely chopped dill.

Mandatory foods on the table in the year of the yellow earthen dog
- Beef, veal, lamb or rabbit should be included first when compiling your grocery list. It is recommended not to fry the meat, but to boil or bake it. In this form, the meat will be easier to digest, then everyone will feel light and active, which is what is needed. But the choice, of course, is yours! :)
- Poultry meat can also be present in holiday dishes. You can use not only chicken, but also goose, turkey, duck and other types of birds.

Salads based on boiled meat can diversify the menu. Any cuts of meat, which may include any sausage, balyk, ham, jamon, basturma, jerk chicken And so on. Each ingredient must be thinly sliced so that the slices can be formed into a voluminous composition. It would also be useful classic sandwiches with red caviar or salted red fish. Pickled mushrooms, olives, etc. can complement the gastronomic variety.
The New Year 2018 will undoubtedly be remembered by the representatives of the stronger half who love meat dishes. But even for fragile girls there are many interesting recipes that will not affect their figure.
What should not be present on the holiday table
The future housewife of the year will not appreciate fish dishes that contain a lot small seeds, therefore from holiday menu It is worth excluding pike, carp and other river fish. The animal will not like the “herring under a fur coat”, beloved by many. Preparing cold cuts, make sure that it does not contain horse sausage. It is known that dogs do not like to eat these animals. For admirers Korean cuisine worth giving up exotic dishes and do not prepare food from dog meat. If you believe Feng Shui experts, you should remove broken noodles from the menu, since it turns out that their length affects longevity. You should not tease your dog with fast food dishes (hot dogs, burgers).
It is not advisable to serve overly carbonated drinks - kvass, lemonade, beer. An earthy dog will not be delighted with strong drinks.
New Year's menu for the New Year's festive table 2018
So, as cold appetizers you can serve “Christmas balls”, small sandwiches with boiled pork and cucumbers, meat rolls with cheese, eggs stuffed with red caviar, profiteroles with crab, mushroom or cheese filling, meat fingers with lard or cheese, boiled pork, etc.

Don't forget to use jellies and creams to complement desserts. Decorate finished products with fruits and nuts.
You can serve vegetables and fruits on the table in any quantity and in any form. An earth dog willingly eats vegetables and will not refuse to enjoy fruits.

Festive table decoration
If you want to decorate your holiday table in accordance with the preferences of the main symbol of the year, then you should pay special attention to detail. Each element should be festive, evoke pleasant emotions and create a New Year's mood.
As I previously mentioned in other articles, the New Year is the most fun, the most beloved by everyone, the most, most holiday. Well, for kids, this is probably the only celebration that they remember from their childhood. For everyone, both adults and children, it is important what the festive table will be like. Everyone is waiting for something new and very tasty.
For the New Year, a jar of red caviar, Olivier salad, Herring under a fur coat and, of course, meat have always been considered a mandatory dish. We have tried to present you with a menu so that you can choose what you like. That's not all, of course. There will also be new dishes, drinks and other articles. Follow our publications and you will know and be able to do everything.
Festive menu for the New Year. Recipes, photos, annotations
So we have already prepared for the festive table. They are usually displayed together with appetizers, and to be honest, it is now difficult to distinguish a salad from an appetizer. In general, this is all - snacks.
We have also prepared a table in which you can choose the ones you like and start arranging the table with them.
Let's add a few more snacks
Hot dishes:
At the end of summer, eggplants, in my opinion, are the most common food. They go as a main dish, as a side dish, and as an appetizer. And although they themselves are neither fish nor meat, they go very well with both fish and meat. Eggplant caviar is especially good, which people usually prepare for the winter. But we eat it right away, fortunately now you can buy eggplants at any time of the year, of course it is more expensive and it would be better to prepare it yourself for the winter, but not everyone has the conditions for this.
Eggplants quickly and tasty in a frying pan
We have already prepared several eggplant dishes. These include eggplants baked in the oven, a meat and eggplant dish called “Moussaka”, eggplant salads and an appetizer. So we already know a lot about eggplants. What an amazing product it is, no matter what recipe you make from it, everything turns out quite simple and tasty.
Baked eggplants with mussels, in rolls
You should definitely try it. This is so delicious! At first you can’t even understand what kind of dish this is, what kind of delicious food it is, what it’s made from?
Eggplant in red sauce
Eggplant is also a vegetable. True, it is less versatile than zucchini, but it can also be added to almost any salad, and in many salads it itself is the main character. Taste fried eggplant It resembles the taste of mushrooms, sometimes you can even be deceived.
Eggplant in white sauce
Of course, you can eat dry eggplant without sauce. But it’s still better if there is sauce, and even better to cook them in sauce.
Marinated red fish
This dish is prepared completely differently, which I wrote about in the previous article “Pink Salmon with Orange Sauce”, which can be prepared from red fish different dishes, fried, steamed, salted, pickled, etc. We have been using this recipe for pickled fish for many years and it seems to me that every time the fish becomes tastier and tastier.
Fish in batter
Everyone certainly loves this fish. Fast, tasty, even dinner, even a snack. It's good everywhere, this red fish.
Meatloaf with green peppers and carrots in the oven
Meatloaf It's always a table decoration. It is prepared both on weekdays and on holidays, served for breakfast, dinner and lunch. The preparation process is quite labor-intensive and takes a lot of time, so rolls are still prepared more on holidays and on weekends.
Well, now the hot dishes:
French-style meat with broccoli in the oven
Well, we finally get to the meat. Of course, they are very important for the New Year, but meat is meat. We used to always serve it after the clock struck 12, we would drink champagne, and then the hostess jumped up and wailed: “oh, meat, meat,” and ran to the kitchen to take the meat out of the oven or off the stove.
Potatoes with sour cream baked in aluminum foil in the oven.
Potatoes baked in foil are not only very tasty, but also healthy dish. The taste of potatoes baked in the oven is not much different from those baked on coals. This dish Housewives in America love it very much for its taste and ease of preparation. The dish turns out juicy and tender, and at the same time retains everything useful microelements and vitamins.
Veal entrecote with bananas
Entrecote was one of our most famous restaurant meat dishes. I remember back in the 60-70s. In restaurants, one could order beefsteak and entrecote as the main meat dishes. Well, it’s true that there were also chicken Kiev, but the sound of the words beefsteak, entrecote, seemed to bring us into the atmosphere of something unusual, foreign.
Baked lamb back with potatoes in the oven
As I already wrote in other recipes, lamb is my favorite meat, and well cooked, with good sauce, a side dish, saturated with the smells of all the ingredients that we add to it, I cannot describe it, you have to try it. Well, today we will cook lamb back with potatoes and pineapple puree, I have seen many similar recipes and each has something different.
Beef with champignons and new potatoes with photo
For some reason, here (in Russia) it is customary to apply for festive feast meat either in the form of a minced cutlet or chop, or in boiled, or by sticking it somewhere, for example, in dough (dumplings). But there are thousands of recipes for cooking meat and each one is original in some way. So I decided to give you a recipe for beef with champignons. A delicious dish.
How to cook moussaka
Moussaka sounds not like the name of a dish, but like music, although it is just a casserole, like the well-known lasagna. But of course there are differences. Moussaka is a dish known throughout the Mediterranean, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, where the main product of consumption is not dough, but vegetables. IN in this case- eggplants. This is the principle of moussaka.
Recipe for seafood noodles with photo
They think that pasta, noodles are almost... National dish Italy. (there, by the way, they call it pasta). Well, maybe, although in Russia it is no less a national dish, on a par with potatoes. Of course, the Italians prepare hundreds of dishes from pasta, but for some reason we mostly use it only as a side dish.
Pink salmon with orange sauce
Pink salmon is probably the least presentable, but the most numerous, and therefore the cheapest, salmon fish in our markets. Despite the above, this fish is very tasty, and its usefulness cannot be compared with artificially farmed Norwegian salmon.
Peking cabbage stewed with mushrooms and baked in the oven
Chinese cabbage is difficult to compare with any other. It is distinguished by the fact that it is juicy and crispy at any time of the year. It occupies a special place in cooking and even begins to displace our usual white cabbage. It adds tenderness to any dish, whether baked or in a salad.
Recipe for peppers stuffed with meat and rice with photo
I understand that of course everyone knows how to stuff peppers. Everyone does it in their own way. I had a chance to try different cooking options. In some places, peppers stuffed with vegetables are more common, in others with meat, there are many more filling options.
