What to cook on New Year's Eve. Cooking festive dishes for the New Year's table

What is the New Year associated with? With sparkling snow, a fluffy Christmas tree, Santa Claus and gifts in his bag and, of course, with holiday treats. New Year is unthinkable without a hospitable, plentiful table, elegant and satisfying.

The upcoming year of the Yellow Earth Dog is very demanding and brings some culinary contemplation. Let's share some of them.

What does the dog not like?

The list of products that the hostess of 2018 does not favor is quite limited, since the dog is not a picky animal in gastronomic terms and is almost omnivorous. But, nevertheless, its "omnivorous" has some limits.

Some types of meat. There are no dog dishes on the New Year's table-2018. Joke! But in every joke, as you know, there is some truth. And the Koreans, for example, are not far from it. Horse meat is also not recommended for New Year's use. It is said that dogs and horses have a complex relationship. It is better not to upset the hostess of the year. We need her favor!

Fully Vegetarian New Year's menu. The main type of dog food, even ordinary, not even astrological, is meat. And therefore, the New Year's table-2018 without meat dishes will look strange. We will save the carrot and cabbage menu for the Rabbit or Goat.

Fish assortment. Dogs are inquisitive creatures and they can try shrimp and bite the chop with a piece of fish, but, nevertheless, we will not mix sour with fresh, that is, the Dog and the Cat, and move the fish menu aside along with mushroom delicacies.

Fatty meals. Hearty menu does not mean fatty. Heavy food, oversaturated with fats, lies on the stomach with an unbearable burden and attracts with a magnet to the sofa. But what about games? What about fun? What about slides and fireworks? A dog is a very active animal that loves entertainment and fun. No need to turn it into a Pig, which will determine the menu in a year. In the meantime, we welcome 2018 and avoid fatty New Year's treats.

On a note: also do not be zealous with sugar, salt and spices. The Dog has a keen sense of smell and a sense of success and good luck. No need to dull it!

What do we feed the Yellow Earth Dog?

meat! In all its manifestations - rolls, meatballs, aspics, chops, steaks, kebabs, steaks, stews, goulash, roast beef, shank, cuts, sausages, pates, stews, carbonades ... And a lot of other meat yummy. Please the Dog! And she will answer you with mutual love and devotion. She's good at it.

The dog loves bones. You will please her very much if you choose a meat dish on the bone for the New Year's table: a rack of lamb, for example, or a chicken Kiev.

root crops. Do not forget that the Dog will come not simple, but Earthy. To emphasize this feature of it, we put on the New Year's table root crops in various modifications and what ripens in the ground - peanuts, for example. Of course, the most obvious and common Russian root crop is the potato. He has a place on the New Year's table as a side dish for meat. Turnips, rutabaga, carrots, radishes can also take part in the 2018 New Year's meal.

yellow and orange fruits. The dog is expected to be Yellow. We put on the table a vase with fruits - yellow apples, apricots, oranges and tangerines, amber melon and tender pineapple. A great New Year's dessert - easy and healthy!

Conclusion: the main concept of the New Year's table-2018 is hearty, simple, plentiful and varied, with an emphasis on meat dishes.

And now let's make a simple but tasty New Year's menu for the Yellow Earth Dog.

Snacks

Snacks are an important part of the holiday table. They disperse the appetite, prepare guests for the main hot dish and form the first impression of the table. Let's not deceive the Dog's expectations and give her what she loves the most - meat in the form elegantly served cold cuts. Boiled pork, smoked sausage, carbonate, ham, thinly sliced, rolled up in rolls and appetizing roses, delight the eye and whet the appetite.

Tip: for the preparation of cold cuts, you should use a wide knife or slicer. The thinner the slice, the more variations you will have to create voluminous compositions on a plate.

Check out our recipes for delicious hot and cold snacks for the New Year's menu for the Year of the Dog.

Chicken rolls with egg and olives

Delicate, melting in your mouth, beautiful and easy to prepare, these rolls will undoubtedly impress the hostess of the year and will be the first to disappear from the plates of the New Year's table.

We will need:

• chicken breast - 2 pieces of medium size;
• chicken egg - 2 pieces;
• canned pitted olives - 1 can (the color and size of the olives do not matter);
• cheese - 100 g (it is better to buy packaged cheese, already cut into thin slices or sticks);
• mayonnaise - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• flour - 2 tablespoons;
• parsley or dill - for decoration.

How to cook chicken rolls with olives.

• We cut the chicken breasts in half - “booklet”, that is, not completely. We need a wide and flat piece so that later we have something to roll into a roll. We beat off the resulting piece - without fanaticism! Chicken meat, in itself, is quite tender and does not require such efforts from the hammer as pork.
• We pepper the beaten chicken fillet, salt, grease with mayonnaise and leave it alone for a while - marinate.
• Break the eggs, beat, add flour and fry a thin omelette cake. There is one “highlight”: in order to give the omelette some piquancy, we crumble some olives into a beaten egg.

Important: do not combine the eggs! 1 egg + 0.5 tablespoon flour = 1 omelette.

• Let's start assembling. Put an omelette on the beaten chicken breast. Attach a stick of cheese to the edge of the breast. If the cheese is in slices, then put slices of cheese on top of the omelet.
• The resulting composition is tightly rolled up with a sausage. We fix it with a toothpick so that it does not turn around. The result should be 2 rolls - one from each breast.
• Frying is the final step. Roll the rolls in flour and fry in sunflower oil in a heated frying pan. We fry over low heat and under a closed lid - for a more uniform heat treatment. On each side - 15 minutes, that is, only 30 minutes.

You can replace the frying stage with baking. In this case, the oven temperature should be 180 °, cooking time - 30 minutes.

We serve: we wait for the rolls to cool down and cut them into rings, 3-4 cm thick. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.

God! What a flavor! The dog is already scratching at your door!

In this recipe you can use cheese mixture feta and cream cheese.

Hot appetizer "Meat nests"

An original and extremely easy-to-prepare recipe for a hot New Year's meat appetizer. The crispy texture of baked dryers filled with meat and cheese should please the Dog.

We will need:

• minced meat - 0.5 kg (beef, pork or chicken mince - at your discretion);
• drying - 0.5 kg;
• chicken egg - 1 piece;
• cheese - 200 g (fat content does not matter);
• mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon;
• salt and spices - to taste;
• lettuce leaves - for decoration.

Cooking method

• We bring minced meat to perfection. This means that we make it more fragrant and tastier - add salt, spices, mayonnaise and an egg to the minced meat. We mix everything well.
• We start drying. The minced meat brought to perfection is placed inside the dryers. On average, 1 teaspoon of minced meat with top is placed in one dryer. But don't be greedy! Put the minced meat with a slide, otherwise the Dog will think that you feel sorry for the minced meat for her.
• We bake. The filled "nests" are sprinkled with grated cheese on top, laid out on a baking sheet covered with a sheet of parchment paper, and sent to the oven. At an oven temperature of 200 degrees, the "nests" will be ready in 25 minutes.
• We serve. We lay fresh lettuce leaves on a flat plate and there are already “nests” on them, ruddy and terribly appetizing.

This appetizer is served slightly chilled so that the Dog does not get burned by swallowing them one by one.

• red sweet pepper - 2 pieces;
• lettuce leaves - a few;

Cooking method.

• Lay cling film on the table. On film - lettuce leaves. On lettuce leaves - a sheet of pita bread. Then the crucial stage - a sheet of pita bread along with lettuce is cut lengthwise, along the length - into 4 strips.
• Cooking flavored stuffing. Parmesan is rubbed on a fine grater, the olives are cut into small pieces, the basil is chopped and chopped, the pepper is cut into small squares. We combine this "crumble" with curd cheese and mix. It turns out a white mass with multi-colored splashes.
• Creation of a Christmas tree. We spread the finished filling-mixture in an even layer on the strips of pita bread and roll it up with a tight roll. This step needs to be careful. We make sure that the cling film does not climb inside the roll.
• Next, we give the roll a triangular shape with our hands and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  We cut the cooled roll into isosceles triangles 3-4 cm thick. We pin a piece of olive to the base of each with a toothpick or skewer.

All! The Christmas tree is ready! We spread our coniferous forest on a plate and send it to the New Year's table!

• We stack middle layer. It will be almond-egg. First, chopped roasted almonds are sprinkled. Then, on top of it - boiled eggs grated on a coarse grater.
  The second layer can also be smeared with mayonnaise. But you can skip this step.
• We make the finishing layer - cheese. Grated cheese is laid out on top of the eggs and leveled with mayonnaise.

We bring beauty. Grapes will represent the Christmas tree. To do this, we wash it, dry it, cut each berry in half and “cover” the top of the salad with grape “flakes”.

The main dish of the New Year's table - hot recipes

Before proceeding to the recipes for New Year's hot hits - 2018, let's outline the general concept.

1. Of course, the central dish in the Year of the Dog should be meat. It’s great if yellow fruits or vegetables join the meat - a tribute to the Yellow Dog.
2. It is excellent if it is not a simple civilized chicken, but, say, a wild duck or a rabbit. Game is a canine specialty by definition.
3. Double pleasure for the Dog, if the meat is on the bone - this is a delicacy squared! And finally, full compliance with the New Year's concept-2018 - meat with a potato side dish - a vegetable grown in the ground. This is already a culinary nod to the Earth Dog.

So, it's time to decide what to cook hot and tasty for the New Year 2018.

• While the meat is marinating in the refrigerator, turn on the oven and prepare the sleeve for baking - we tie it at one end.
• We put the pickled meat in a sleeve and tie it from the other end. Lay the sleeve on a baking sheet. To release steam, we make several holes in the sleeve. The baking sheet is placed on the middle shelf of the oven and left for 1 hour at a temperature of 200 °.

Every housewife strives for the New Year to prepare an excellent festive dinner and serve a magnificent table. How to prepare and serve the perfect gala dinner on New Year's Eve 2030?

New Year 2030: we set the festive table

The perfect New Year's Eve dinner is a well-coordinated and excellently prepared dishes and served. Even the simplest dish, beautifully decorated and placed on a well-served table, makes a New Year's impression and seems tastier. Therefore, serving in preparation for a festive dinner for the New Year should be given no less attention than the actual preparation of dishes.

The table must be covered with a tablecloth. To celebrate the New Year 2030, it is better to choose a linen tablecloth, classic white with a silver border, or a tablecloth in gray, beige or pearl colors. Napkins for guests should be made of the same fabric as the tablecloth and harmonize with it in color. If you use napkin rings when serving, then give preference to wood products this year.

Place a small composition in the center of the New Year's table to create a festive mood. For example, take a glass dish and fill it with cones, golden balls, and decorative gift boxes. You can make a wreath from a spruce branch, decorate it with beads and golden cones, and place a beautiful candle in the middle. Another option for the New Year 2030: take a small tray and arrange on it an arrangement of a spruce branch, a few cones, golden glass balls, tangerines and small helium candles.

For each guest, you need to put a substitute plate on the New Year's table, and a snack bar on it. On the left is another plate - pie. Next, cutlery is laid out and wine glasses and glasses are placed. To place drinks, a supply of napkins, clean plates, glasses and cutlery, it is better to put a separate table. Remember that for salads and for hot dishes, two different forks are placed in front of the guests, and before the New Year's dessert, the table is completely set anew.

What should be on the table in the year of the White Dog

The coming year 2030 according to the Chinese zodiac calendar will be held under the sign of the White Metal Dog. What to serve on the festive table to please the hostess of the year?

Let's start with the fact that this year's New Year's Eve dinner should be plentiful. And all the dishes served to him are quite simple and satisfying. And, of course, for the New Year 2030 there should be a lot of meat, among which there must be beef or lamb. This year, housewives are advised to serve several meat appetizers, meat and cheese cuts, and there must certainly be a hot meat dish. You can also serve fish, but certainly sea.

Be sure to serve vegetables with meat, and put apples and oranges from fruits and add these fruits to desserts. If you want to cook pastries for New Year's dinner, then give up yeast dough products, preferring puff, unleavened or shortbread.

Cold and hot snacks for the New Year 2030

Any festive dinner begins with appetizers. This year on the New Year's table must be present cold cuts. The classic cold cut consists of roast beef, thinly sliced ​​boiled veal, ham and boiled tongue.

For the New Year's table in 2030, you should also serve herring with pickled mushrooms, jellied beef or jellied fish. Complete your holiday table with eggplant, zucchini and ham rolls, stuffed eggs, assorted sauerkraut, pickled tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and mushrooms.

From salads in the New 2030 year, it is best to serve traditional Olivier and herring “under a fur coat”, vinaigrette, “Capital” or salad with salmon or tuna. This choice of snacks is determined by the tastes of the hostess of the year - the Dog. And she loves, as already mentioned, hearty, traditional and quite simple food.

In addition to cold snacks, relatives and guests can also be pampered with hot ones. For example, noble mushrooms stewed in cream, envelopes stuffed with puff pastry meat or potato nests with eggs and ham.

"Potato Nests"- this is a very tasty hot appetizer that can become the "highlight" of your New Year's table. The preparation of the dish takes about 20 minutes. Peel the potatoes in advance and boil the eggs. To create potato nests, peeled potatoes must be grated on a coarse grater and salted, then put a portion of the mashed potatoes in a small sieve so that a “nest” is formed and dip the sieve with potatoes in boiling olive oil. Remove the fried nests from the sieve and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. In the center of each nest, add bechamel sauce or mayonnaise, put half an egg, sliced ​​\u200b\u200bham and a pitted olive. A dish for the New Year should be served hot on lettuce leaves. If you prepared it in advance, then you can just hold the potato nests in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

Hot dishes in the New Year of the White Dog

This year, we will certainly prepare a meat dish for the hot dish. It is best if it is veal, beef or lamb, although you can also serve a pork dish to the table.

Stew lamb with prunes, lamb ribs baked in the oven are very tasty. And if you cook lamb with rosemary and spicy seasonings in a baking sleeve for the New Year 2030, marinating the meat overnight in a mixture of dry white wine and pomegranate syrup, you will get a gentle hot dish without a specific aftertaste characteristic of lamb dishes.

There are a lot of options for cooking veal or beef. If you want to serve something special to the New Year's table, then stew veal or beef with dried fruits or serve lingonberry or cranberry sauce with the roast.

This year's pork can be cooked with White Dog's favorite oranges.. Offer guests, for example, pork medallions in oranges. To prepare the dish, salt and pepper the pork medallions, fry until golden brown, and then add freshly squeezed orange juice and finely grated zest, shallots, veal broth, a couple of spoons of honey and a little turmeric to the pan with meat. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meat over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This hot New Year's dish will make guests ask for the recipe.

New Year's side dishes

The most traditional side dish for meat is potatoes. It can be simply fried with onions and spices, baked in the oven with cream and aromatic herbs, fried in an air grill or in boiling olive oil, and served with stew. But mashed potatoes are good for meat cooked for the New Year with dried fruits. It can be squeezed out with a Christmas tree-shaped pastry syringe and baked a little in the oven. Decorate with a tomato star on top.

Oven-baked meat dishes can be paired with mixed vegetables such as onion, bell pepper and tomato stew, or with grilled vegetables. A very light New Year's side dish: steamed Brussels sprouts or battered cauliflower will go with just about anything.

But with lamb, such a side dish as rice with bell peppers and beans will go well. To prepare it, bell peppers and onions need to be cut and fried, then washed rice and herb seasoning are added to the vegetables, lightly fried again, and then peeled tomatoes are added. Pour the contents of the pan with vegetable broth and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Then add tomato paste, canned red beans, pepper and salt. Simmer another 10 minutes. Sprinkle the finished side dish with finely chopped parsley and cilantro.

Desserts and drinks for the New Year 2030

For desserts this year, be sure to use the Dog's favorite fruits: apples and oranges. A traditional New Year's dessert, which is recommended to be served in the coming year 2030, is baked apples. They can be prepared with honey, cottage cheese and raisins, honey, raisins and nuts, blackberries and ice cream or vanilla sauce. You can serve puff pastries with apple filling, apple strudel or marshmallow for dessert. No less New Year's desserts can be prepared with oranges. For example, donuts with oranges, charlotte, orange mousse or orange soufflé.

"Orange Soufflé"- This is a very tasty and original New Year's dessert, which is served hot. To prepare a soufflé, make syrup from 200 grams of sugar and two glasses of water. Then cut 6 oranges in half, select and cut the pulp, and boil it in syrup until it becomes transparent. Whisk 5 egg whites into foam, add ready-made orange jam to the whites and continue beating. Then carefully add 2 tbsp. spoons of sifted starch. Put the resulting mass into halves of orange peels. Bake the soufflé in the oven for 15 minutes, serve hot, sprinkled with powdered sugar.

For dessert, you can also offer guests homemade shortbread cookies, cherries with creamy mousse, wafer rolls with boiled condensed milk and curd cream. And the final chord of a festive New Year's dinner can be a light yogurt cake or a magnificent chocolate roll with nuts.

Choose drinks for the holiday based on the dishes that you will cook. It is customary to serve cold appetizers with dry or semi-dry white wines, if they are fish appetizers, and dry or semi-dry red wines with meat appetizers. Chilled vodka is suitable for salty and spicy snacks. Meat dishes are usually combined with red dry or semi-dry wines. Dessert wine is served with fruit desserts, while tea and coffee are served with liqueurs and brandy.

From non-alcoholic drinks, buy several types of juices, mineral water with and without gas. This year, it is recommended to remember the not so long ago tradition of preparing homemade cranberry juice for the holiday. If you manage to find lemonade prepared according to the Soviet recipe in stores, buy a few bottles for the holiday. The mistress of the year really likes when old traditions are respected.

All drinks should be served chilled to a temperature of 12-15 degrees. When serving, one glass of water, juice or fruit drink, a glass of champagne and a glass of wine are usually placed on the table for drinks. On the additional one, a stock of glasses for wine and wine glasses, glasses for vodka and liqueurs, glasses for cognac is displayed - they are served to guests depending on which drink they choose to accompany this or that dish.
