Recipe content:

The most beloved Orthodox holiday is the New Year. When one year gives way to another, many people cherish the hope that a magical night will bring a new and happy life. They believe that the past year will take away old worries and problems, and the new one will allow a lot to start from scratch. Therefore, there is a special approach to the holiday: they put on the most fashionable outfits, put the best appliances on the table, and prepare the most delicious dishes. For this reason, the preparation of the New Year's menu requires a special approach and compliance with a certain number of rules.

To properly compose the menu, one should take into account the tastes of the Red Rooster in order to appease him in every possible way. After all, both children and adults believe in a magical New Year's Eve that works wonders. To satisfy the animal, one should take into account that the creature is not greedy, but moderately economical. However, this does not mean that the feast should burst with abundance. Everything should be on the table in abundance, but the dishes should be prepared simple.

All New Year's dishes should be colorful and bright, like the Rooster himself. The bright ingredients involved in the recipe will help achieve this effect. The animal will be pleased with the presence of fruits and vegetables on the table. It would be useful to have a container with grain in the center of the feast, because. This is the bird's favorite delicacy. The owner of the year will be glad to have a sweet: a cake or a pie. The animal on the New Year's table will not forgive chicken dishes. Another forbidden product of the New Year's menu are chicken eggs. However, adding them to New Year's dishes is not prohibited. In addition, they can be replaced with quail. You should not just use them explicitly - stuffed or in the form of snowmen on skewers.

The New Year's table should be filled with a wide selection of dishes and drinks. Be sure to hot dishes, snacks, salads, dessert and drinks. The rooster, as a native of the village, is used to simple food, so you should not “bother” with complex recipes from chefs. However, this does not mean that it will be possible to get by with Olivier and Shuba on duty. Without them, of course, nowhere, but you need to cook a dish without exotic ingredients.

• hotter. Recall - the feathered symbol will upset if they eat its relatives - the chicken. It is better to choose dishes from fish and seafood.
• Garnish. Stewed and fresh vegetables will look good. And like a true villager, a rooster will be delighted with potatoes.
• Salads. Their circle is rich enough. A salad in the form of a Christmas tree or a New Year's toy will help to emphasize the solemnity of the moment.
• Snacks. Since the rooster is a very bright character, snacks need to be selected bright and expressive. It can be vegetable and meat cuts, canapes, mini-sandwiches ...
• Beverages. Life-giving moisture is only natural: juices, fruit drinks.
• Dessert. Here fantasy allows you to do anything.

How to set the table?

• Tablecloth- monophonic soft tones. The best option is white, pink, gold, made of linen or cotton.
• Service- naturalness: glass, wood, clay, and no plastic. It will be beneficial to shade bright dishes from porcelain dishes.
• Napkins- in the tone of the tablecloth, but can also be bright red - after all, the Fire Rooster. Place paper napkins on a plate, linen and cotton - under a plate.
• Glasses- depending on the type of alcohol provided. Don't forget the water glasses.

There should be more accessories made from natural materials on the table - a wicker basket for bread, a wooden tray or a salt shaker. You can greet the Fire Rooster by placing candles in red candlesticks on the table. This will perfectly complement the New Year's interior, give an atmosphere of mystery and elegance. You can safely take out candles and candlesticks left over from last year, because. the fiery theme remains relevant. Last year's red decorations are suitable: figurines, compositions ... Decorate dishes: The rooster loves elegance and beauty. It is advisable to decorate the treat with something red - tomatoes, red caviar, pomegranate. A small bowl with sprouted grains would be appropriate in the center of the table.

Milk pig in the oven - New Year's recipe

The highlight of the program will be a do-it-yourself pig cooked in the oven. Having prepared it, you will surprise your guests with your culinary skills. Very gentle, soft and tasty piglet will delight you and your loved ones. Moreover, it is not at all difficult to cook a whole pig in the oven.

Ingredients:

• Piglet
• Dry white wine - 2 cups
• Soy sauce - 1 cup
• Carnation
• star anise
• Allspice peas
• Pepper
• Paprika
• Honey - 1 tbsp.

For filling:

• Buckwheat
• Mushrooms
• Butter
• Olive oil

For decoration:

• Potato
• Rosemary
• Thyme
• Pitted olives

Cooking:

Marinating suckling pig

1. First of all, you need to marinate the piglet. We put it in a container of a suitable size. Fill with water so that the piglet is completely submerged in water. Pour 2 cups of wine, 1 cup of soy sauce, star anise, a few clove flowers and a handful of allspice. We leave to marinate in a cool dark place for 1.5 days.
   
2. After the required amount of time, we take out and dry the piglet inside and out with paper napkins or towels.
3. Pour olive oil over the carcass. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Paprika will give a very beautiful color to the future dish.
   We rub the piglet thoroughly inside and out so that not a single part remains untouched.
   

   Filling for carcass

4. Now let's prepare the filling. Boil buckwheat until half cooked. It will reach the end already inside the carcass in the oven.
5. While the buckwheat is cooking, let's take care of the onions and mushrooms. Cut one large onion and mushrooms. Mushrooms can be used any, at your discretion. In this case, it's mushrooms.
   
6. In a pan, fry the onion in butter until golden brown. Add mushrooms and bring to a boil. You can not spare the oil, as the mushrooms absorb it well.
   
7. Ready-made mushrooms with onions are mixed with buckwheat.
   
8. Now you need to stuff the piglet with the resulting filling. Please note that it is not worth tamping the carcass with the filling to the end, as the buckwheat will increase in volume when it reaches readiness. And in this way it can just open up your piglet.
   
9. Next comes the moment of sewing up the piglet with the filling. To do this, it is easiest to use skewers. We pierce the carcass with them at a distance of about 3-4 cm from each other. We break off the excess ends. Then, with the help of a rope, we make a kind of seam. We draw it crosswise around each skewer. At the very end, we tie the ends of the rope.
   

   How to bake a pig in the oven

10. We put the carcass on a baking sheet and send it to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
    
11. Do not forget to wrap the pig's ears and snout with foil, otherwise they will burn and spoil the whole look of the dish. If you plan to insert something into the pig's mouth after cooking, then you must first insert a foil ball into his mouth, otherwise it will be very difficult to do after baking.
    
12. After half an hour, we take out the carcass and very carefully coat the sauce with a brush. And the sauce is prepared like this: 1 tablespoon of honey is well mixed with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce until smooth. It is the sauce that will give the piglet a beautiful golden crust. Put it back in the oven for about 1 hour.
13. While the pig is cooking, we need to prepare a side dish for it. Let's use potatoes. We clean the potatoes and fry in butter until half cooked, so that a golden crust forms. While frying, salt the potatoes and add rosemary.
    
14. When the pig has been in the oven for another half an hour, we take it out and put our half-finished potatoes next to it. Grease again with sauce and send to the oven for another half hour.
    
15. We take out the finished dish and decorate with greens and tomatoes. Instead of eyes, insert olives. I will not describe how to do this. I think you'll figure it out. You can put a lemon, an apple or a tangerine (yes, whatever) into your mouth.

The result is such a beautiful, tasty dish for the holiday. In my opinion, such a suckling pig with potatoes will look very nice on the New Year's table.

How to celebrate the New Year 2017: what to cook on the festive table of the Fire Rooster

So, the main question of all housewives: what to cook for the festive table and how to celebrate the New Year of the Rooster 2017 hearty and tasty, in abundance, so that, according to popular belief, this is how to spend the whole year.

The Feng Shui festive table looks unusual and fabulously elegant. Red tablecloth with gold embroidery and gold-colored fringe or lace, napkins with the symbol of the year. On the table are figurines of a cockerel. And although the dominant geometric figure of the year is a triangle, the table should not have corners. Ideal for a family or friendly feast will be oval and round tables. But if your table is traditionally rectangular, mask its sharp parts with decorations - colorful New Year's mini-arrangements.

If your tablecloth is white, it doesn’t matter, plates and napkins, salad bowls, gravy boats, candles can be red. It doesn't have to be all pattern. Creativity and individuality are not forbidden. You can just buy red and yellow ribbons and tie them in bows on the backs of chairs - both budget, and bright, and in the style of the New Year.

Another New Year's accessory that you should not forget about is a golden bell. Show your imagination and tie such bells to objects that often move: to the legs of chairs, to door handles. Let the chime drive away evil spirits and fill the house with festive notes.

New Year's menu in the Year of the Rooster

So, we have taken care of the New Year's decor, now let's think about what to cook on the table for the New Year 2017, what dishes are most suitable. And above all, these are those that the Rooster loves. When compiling a New Year's menu, a good hostess will try to please not only her family and guests, but also the patron animal of the coming year.

In all matters, the Rooster strives for the ideal, he is demanding and practical. What dishes will appeal to such a picky guest? Be sure to place a vase with tangerines stacked in the form of a pyramid in the center of the table. The rooster will love this bright accent.

He will be very grateful for the variety of dishes. A buffet table is the most appropriate way to decorate a table in order to provide easy, relaxed communication, which our hero cherishes so much. Vegetable salads, both fresh and hot or canned, with the addition of meat and fish. Even an ordinary vinaigrette, laid out in small baskets, will be transformed and become an original dish. Fruit salads or just fruit mixes strung on skewers. All kinds of whole grain bread canapés with pastas, pâtés and cheeses, as well as beautifully presented cuts.

Plenty of fresh vegetables and herbs not only decorate the table, but also appease the Fire Rooster. When choosing salads, give preference to vegetables and fruits.

For hot small triangular-shaped dumplings and cabbage rolls are suitable. Prepare them ahead of time and freeze them. Thus, you will free yourself more time in the New Year's fuss, when there will be no time to prepare such time-consuming dishes.

Fish and meat dishes will also be appropriate, but their number in the total mass should not prevail. And although the host of the holiday is far from being an ascetic, chicken and other poultry should be completely abandoned. Chinese zodiac signs cannot stand cannibalism. The same requirement applies to eggs. So the traditional "Olivier bowl" is not this time.

Dishes from cereals and cereals, of course, will please the patron of the year. But ordinary oatmeal or buckwheat are not options for the New Year's table. You can make gozinaki with seeds, nuts and honey, caramelized popcorn, halva, baklava heavily sprinkled with sesame seeds and nuts, Christmas tree-shaped oatmeal cookies sprinkled with coconut flakes.

For dessert it is good to serve ice cream with jam and fruits, mousse, multi-colored puff jelly. The rooster loves variety, but does not tolerate excessive extravagance, so the table should not be “bursting with food”, choose the best options for dishes so as not to burden the stomach and be easy to climb, the same as a cockerel flying up to the roof or perch.

As for drinks, then here, too, you have to show imagination. Cocktails are well suited to the festive mood and will suit the New Year's table. They are available both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. If you really want to impress your guests, then you should practice in advance and learn how to pour drinks in layers. Otherwise, just mix the ingredients right in front of the public, according to your own recipe or at the request of the guests. This will add originality to the holiday. Berry fruit drinks and compotes of bright red color will also be good. And, of course, champagne is a symbol of celebration and vibrant life!

Did you know that the very word cocktail in translation from English means cock - rooster, tail - tail, that is, "cock's tail". The first written description dates back to 1806 and is mentioned in The Ballance as a stimulant drink consisting of several spirits, tinctures and sugar.

And the most important component of the New Year's festive table is the wonderful mood of the hostess, who created all this beauty. Do not forget to season with it dishes that will delight both the family and guests, and the fastidious host of the coming year.

So, here: what to cook for the New Year's table 2017, what to celebrate the coming year of the Red Rooster, what 2017 will be like, what awaits us, the general forecast for 2017 is the year of the Fire Rooster.

On New Year's Eve, even the most inveterate skeptics, raising a glass of sparkling champagne, make wishes and believe that they will come true. Perhaps that is why we are checking with the eastern horoscope, which has existed for more than one thousand years. After all, I want the new year to be better than the previous one. And for this, according to astrologers, you need to “correctly” meet the owner of the year - in 2017 it will be the Red Fire Rooster.

How to celebrate 2017?

The question of what to wear for the New Year worries all women without exception. After all, a New Year's dress should be stunningly beautiful, fashionable, stylish, and even like the symbol of the year - the Rooster! How to choose the “right” outfit?

Color. Everything is simple here. Our Rooster is Red, and even Fiery. So we look at the palette of red, yellow and orange shades. In addition, astrologers "allow" the colors of a dying fire - brown and gray shades. And, surprisingly, purple. Although there is nothing to be surprised - you just have to look at the burning spark - purple is also there!

Materials. Rooster - dandy and. He loves everything shiny and iridescent, so the fabric should also be shiny and shimmering: silk, satin, taffeta, organza, velvet, brocade, etc. Fashionable fabrics with a metallic effect and sequined materials are also suitable. The Rooster also likes brilliant decor - embroidery with gold threads, beads, rhinestones and Swarovski crystals - and, of course, feathers.

Style. Epatage and extravagance. Originality and courage. Only in this way - and not otherwise! Let your favorite little black dress wait until the next holiday - on New Year's Eve you should shine, conquer and be the center of attention. Neckline in front or on the back, high slit to the thigh, extreme mini, asymmetry, bare shoulders, curly cutouts and original cut - that's what the Rooster will like. But there is one “pitfall” here: the owner of the year, although he is an extraordinary person, has an impeccable taste. So in an effort to impress his imagination, do not overdo it. He will not forgive bad taste and lack of sense of proportion!

Accessories. Any woman knows that a dress is not everything. The integrity of the image is given by accessories: a handbag, shoes, jewelry, etc. For New Year's Eve, you should opt for gold - this metal will perfectly complement a red dress. If you like jewelry with stones, red ones are best - ruby, coral, garnet.

A feather boa, a light chiffon scarf (especially with the image of the owner of the year), and a luxurious evening bag - a clutch or midonier - will successfully complement the image.

Menu for the New Year 2017: what can and cannot be cooked

On the New Year's table there should be not only the housewife's specialties, the traditional "Olivier" and the family's favorite menu, but also something that the owner of the year will definitely like - because if you do not please him, luck will turn away from you for a whole year! Like it or not - but, paying tribute to traditions, we will still "ask" the Rooster about his culinary preferences.

Well, the hostesses can breathe a sigh of relief: the Rooster will be pleased with a variety of salads, and vegetable snacks, and meat, and fish, and seafood.

The only thing that can upset him- baked chicken (all a relative, after all) and stuffed eggs. At the same time, chicken meat or eggs as ingredients for salads or other dishes will not cause any negative feelings in him. However, if you really want to see a baked bird on the festive table - take any other: duck, turkey, goose or quail.

He loves Rooster and sweets very much. Therefore, a dessert must be provided in the New Year's menu. And even if you don’t know how to bake, you shouldn’t run to the store for a cake - this is perhaps the only strict prohibition for the New Year’s table: there should be no purchased or prepared dishes from semi-finished products! Bake simple Christmas cookies, make jelly or fruit salad - the Rooster will definitely appreciate it, even if the dessert is very simple!

But what should be given special attention is the serving of dishes. A great original and aesthete, the Rooster will pay special attention to this. What can surprise him? Try laying out any layered salad (for example, "Mimosa") in the form of a cockerel or chicken, make rolls with salmon in the form of burning candles or cheese "chickens", cook stuffed mushrooms and decorate them with "young cockerels", cut a biscuit into portioned triangles and decorate it a la tree.

As a "decor" you can also use greens, red pomegranate seeds, flowers from tomatoes, carrots or beets and red caviar. In a word, turn on your fantasy to the fullest - and the owner of the year will certainly encourage you!

2017: what awaits us, what will the year be like?

What will the Year of the Rooster bring us? 2017 promises to be difficult: after all, the character of the Rooster is complex and cocky, the favorite color of the owner of the year is red, and his element is fire. In addition, the Rooster is a symbol of renewal and the beginning of a new stage in life. And this will concern both each of us and entire countries! So we are getting ready for a bright, turbulent and turning point year, full of high-profile events and changes.

What, however, what these changes will be, largely depends on us. After all, the Rooster does not help everyone.

Fate will favor those, who never looked for an easy way in his life, who achieved everything on his own strength and diligence, who speaks little, but works hard, does not violate the laws of being, human and legal, and who, even grain by grain, bit by bit, but slowly, slowly, rakes paws in a pile their fate and their well-being.

To make the Year of the Rooster a good year for you, the main thing is not to be lazy, you just need to work on yourself first of all. The rooster is assertive and will not tolerate lazy people. He does not like those who do not want to develop.

You need to change as much as possible and bring something new into your life. You can radically change your image, work, in which case luck will definitely be on your side.

This year will be successful for self-realization and transition to a new job, getting a new profession or advanced training, changing the type of activity and career growth.

As for finance, The rooster will incline you to risky operations - so be extremely careful, especially at the beginning of the year. Avoid taking on large amounts of debt.

In 2017, there will be no super profits, but there will be enough money to live on. For those who will strive for more, be active, diligent and initiative, the Rooster will help find ways to achieve this and improve their financial condition. Perhaps it will be a good side job or a new, higher paying job.

Personal life. The general horoscope 2017 promises many bright moments and emotions. This is a good year for starting a family and having children.

Lonely hearts can safely count on meetings and acquaintances, one of which will become fateful. Therefore, feel free to count on a meeting with your soulmate. The main thing is to choose the right path to meet her. Couples will also not be bored, they will be able to survive the second honeymoon, and the children will delight and surprise. For those couples who have not yet had children, it's time to think about it. After all, 2017 will give a happy and successful fate to children who will be born in the coming year.
