In the New Year's articles of this series, we have already written a lot about what dishes to prepare for the holiday table. But the main focus has always been on meat, poultry and fish in all forms. But at the same time, we forgot that there is a certain percentage of people who do not eat such food in principle, and it is difficult to hope that they will make an exception for the New Year.
Respecting their tastes and traditions, today we have prepared vegetarian menu for the New Year. And don’t let meat-eaters imagine a meager meal consisting of a pile of cabbage and a few pieces of boiled carrots. Vegetarian dishes for the New Year, prepared without the use of animal products, can be even tastier and more varied, the main thing is to show your imagination.
Let’s immediately agree that we are talking about vegetarianism, in which not all products of animal origin are prohibited, but only flesh. That is, we can easily use milk, eggs, sour cream, etc.
Snacks
Vegetarian will begin New Year's table, as always, with snacks. Nobody canceled the small ones sandwiches
for one bite. As a basis, you can take already proven recipes: avocado mousse with lime juice and hot pepper, beet puree with garlic and natural yoghurt, diverse vegetable caviar(zucchini, eggplant and any other to taste). 
In the same way, vegetarians will not give up deviled eggs,
in which many traditional types of it are suitable as a filling: mushrooms fried with onions, grated raw carrots with garlic and melted cheese and so on. 
Also, you don’t need to ignore the variety of traditional vegetarian recipes for the New Year of Russian cuisine: sauerkraut, a variety of vegetables, soaked apples and so on. They will not only add variety to the table, but will also make all guests remember their roots. 
Even traditional herring under a fur coat
can, after a little modernization, take its place on the vegetarian table. For it you will need potatoes, carrots, beets, processed (or Adyghe) cheese, seaweed, walnuts and mayonnaise. The salad is laid out in layers as usual, with each layer coated with mayonnaise. But, taking into account the absence of herring, the sequence looks like this: potatoes, seaweed, cheese, carrots, beets, mixed with crushed nuts. The layers can be repeated, then the salad will become even more interesting.
Main course
As a main dish on a vegetarian New Year's table, you can prepare vegetable skewers in batter
. For them, you need to prepare the batter in advance according to your favorite recipe (for example, water, kefir, flour, salt and spices) and cut into small portioned pieces vegetables: zucchini, eggplant, bell pepper, tomatoes and Adyghe cheese. Everything except cheese and tomatoes should be mixed, sprinkled with spices and salt and left for half an hour to soak. You need to string all the ingredients onto bamboo sticks, dip in batter on all sides and fry in olive oil or sunflower oil(there should be quite a lot of it, a layer of 2-3 centimeters). Fry the kebab on both sides under a closed lid for 6-8 minutes. When it is cooked, you need to place it on a layer of napkins or paper towels so that they absorb excess oil.
Dessert
In principle, most desserts already comply with the principles of vegetarian cooking (it is very difficult to imagine a cake with meat). The only exception is food gelatin, which is made from animal cartilage tissue, which means it is prohibited. But if you still want to pamper yourself and your guests with such a dish, then you can use agar-agar, for the production of which special algae is used. 
But as an example of beauty New Year's dessert, which will appeal to both vegetarians and meat-eaters, can be cited baked apples.
To prepare them, you need to select several beautiful red apples of the same size, cut out the middle of them and fill the free space with the mixture butter, sugar and cinnamon. Then each apple must be wrapped in foil or special film and steamed or in the oven until soft. The dessert can be decorated with a cinnamon stick and caramel.
This fairly simple menu does not contain anything forbidden for a vegetarian, but it will suit everyone else’s tastes. Perhaps after such a dinner they will even think about changing their culinary orientation.
