How to cook cold snacks. Quick appetizer with crab sticks

Snacks are probably the most interesting type of food, and since childhood. True, when we ran home in childhood, grabbed a piece of bread with sausage or lard, we did not even suspect that we were already using snacks, but these were real snacks.

I have already given you several recipes, but there are so many of them that we will not try them in our entire lives. They are always needed. If it’s easier to approach, salads are also snacks, but about, we also already talked about.

In the old days, all cold dishes served before the main hot meal were considered snacks. And the appetizers could be very complex. Some contained up to 50 ingredients.

But we will look at simple, easy to prepare and delicious snacks.

Step-by-step recipes for making simple, light and tasty snacks

Let's start with the most favorite snack for most people - with herring.

The approaching holiday excites and makes you wait impatiently. Here it is already close, we figure out what will be hot, buy a bottle of wine ... But neither one nor the other will decorate the table and will not give it such refinement as cold appetizers. There is truly scope for creativity for any hostess.

A cold appetizer and a salad decorate the table, they are usually decorated with figures of vegetables or just greens, it is on them that the gaze of a guest approaching the table falls, they are designed to impress all gourmets.

What cold appetizers should be prepared for the festive table?

Let's start with the classics - aspic .

In Ancient Rus', this dish was always prepared on and. It was believed that pork was supposed to be cooked on this holiday, because the pig, the only farm animal, did not come to congratulate the newborn Jesus.

• Pork knuckle;
• pork legs - a couple;
• beef broth - per kilogram;
• salt, peppercorns, bay leaf;
• garlic - 3-4 medium heads;
• carrot.

Rinse the meat thoroughly, cut out everything that you do not like. Cut or chop the bones and rinse again. Peel carrots. Put in cold water and cook on the smallest fire for a long time. If you cook in a pressure cooker, it will be much faster, but the broth will not be as clear!

Carrots are designed to give a beautiful color to the broth, so that when everything is cooked, you can take it out. She is no longer needed here.

Strain the broth very carefully, not even through a strainer, but through a strainer with gauze: otherwise a small bone may get into the finished dish. From the bottom, do not drain into jelly at all, give it to the dog. The animal will be delighted, but he will not care about the bones! We pour two spoons of broth into a saucer and put it in the refrigerator: this is a test - whether it will harden. And we go to disassemble the meat.

The main thing here is not to skip the bones, on the one hand, and not to overfeed the dog, on the other. And then here she is sitting, with all her doomed appearance showing that it will be hard for her to help deal with the contents of the pan, but the dog is a friend of man because he is ready to take a risk ...

The meat is disassembled and chopped (can be passed through a meat grinder), finely chopped garlic, can be passed through a press; put in hot broth. Boil garlic is not worth it, he does not like too high a temperature.

We check if our broth has frozen in the refrigerator. If yes - fine, if not - add a little gelatin, it will help the jelly to harden. Gelatin is now what you will not meet! We read the instructions and act according to it.

If you want, you can somehow decorate the jelly. If you are against such excesses, lay out the meat in forms and fill it with broth. Set to freeze in the refrigerator.

Before serving, depending on your idea and the appearance of the tins, you can take out the jelly by carefully turning the tins on the dish. Or you can submit it directly in the form, especially if the form is beautiful, and the holiday is “for your own”. The most delicious jelly is always obtained from. Don't forget to serve a good horseradish!

Another traditional cold appetizer - diner "Napoleon" .

• Ready puff cakes;
• mayonnaise in a solid amount;
• hard-boiled eggs - 5 pcs;
• ham - about 300 g;
• cheese - 500 grams;
• pickled mushrooms - half a can.

This dish is prepared very quickly, and looks very impressive.

We literally grease the cakes a little with mayonnaise, cover with a film and set aside. They need to soften up a little.

Three eggs on a coarse grater, add grated cheese and mayonnaise to them - so much so that it is not too cool. The mass should be smeared, not molded. Stir and set the bowl aside for now.

You can choose another filling. For example, champignons with onions (lightly fried) and cheese; boiled chicken with cheese and champignons, salted or canned fish, vegetables (eggplant, sweet pepper, herbs) finely chopped and stewed with vegetable oil.

We cut the ham into neat strips, set aside in another bowl. We look through the pickled mushrooms and leave the most beautiful ones to decorate the "Napoleon".

Let's start assembling. Lubricate the first cake generously with egg-cheese mass. On top we put a little mushrooms.

We put the second and press. We grease this one only slightly, then put the ham and level it.

We put the third cake, again we press. Not him - the remains of cheese with an egg. Decorate with mushrooms. Our cake is ready, but it is advisable to keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Prepare such a cake in.

Let's cook some more rollmops And that's it for the classics.

Rollmops were invented by the Germans, adored by Poles, Swedes, Estonians. And we will try to serve them for the holiday as an appetizer for vodka - especially for patriotic people who do not drink wine.

There are over a dozen rollmops recipes. Let's try an assortment of two types.

In essence, a rollmops is a herring roll with a small amount of filling. Rollmops are supposed to be lightly marinated.

• So, herring - 10 fillets;
• carrots - 2 pcs;
• onions - 3 heads;
• garlic - 2-3 cloves;
• capers - to taste;
• pickled cucumbers - 2 pcs (large);
• wine vinegar - 500 ml;
• sunflower oil - 100 ml;
• honey - a tablespoon;
• mustard - a tablespoon;

Carrots should be grated on a coarse grater, chop the garlic, mix them and salt. Heat the oil to a boil, pour a tablespoon of vinegar into it. Pour over the carrots and let it stand until it cools down by itself (or longer).

We will analyze the herring into fillets. We pull out all the bones (you can use a magnifying glass and tweezers). Cucumbers cut into cubes, capers, if they are large - into quarters or less. Chop the onion and lightly sauté. Spread fillets with mustard, and half of them with honey.

Serve, of course, with potatoes and as an appetizer for vodka.

In one filet (without honey), we wrap pieces of cucumber and caper. In others (with honey) - spicy carrots and passivated onions.

Fasten all rollmops with toothpicks or skewers, put in a bowl and pour marinade: wine vinegar, peppercorns, brought to a boil and cooled to room temperature. Sprinkle with onion rings and leave to marinate for about a day in the refrigerator.

If you decide to have a buffet, ordinary snacks will not work. Let's try to cook baskets or vol-au-vents with salad .

Baskets can be bought at the store: messing around with them before the holiday, when there are so many things to do, is irrational.

Flounces do not take long to make yourself. To do this, we slightly roll out a layer of puff pastry, cut out several larger circles from it, and then cut out small circles from half of it with a glass to make “bagels”. Lightly grease large circles with an egg, put a “bagel” on top and bake for 7-10 minutes.

During baking, the dough will rise and you will get dough cups that can be filled with salad.

You can take any salad for filling (look), but it’s better not to be “raw”: from crab sticks, from avocados, from boiled beets. And you can also fill them with caviar, herring, chopped and mixed with butter, and so on. Surprise your parents by cooking rolled on.

To decorate the buffet table, snack cakes are perfect.

crackers

• Butter;
• soft processed cheese like "Viola": creamy and with herbs;
• you can have several slices of cold-smoked salmon;
• tomato paste;
• parsley for decoration.

In the melted cheese with herbs, add a spoonful of tomato, mix thoroughly. If you don't like the color, add a little more tomato.

We fasten the crackers in pairs, layering with butter.

Put a small piece of fish on some cakes, and squeeze beautifully creamy cheese on top with a confectionery syringe. For others - tomato cheese, decorate with parsley.

And as a light snack - stuffed chinese cabbage .

There are a lot of recipes for stuffed Chinese cabbage. We will do the simplest.

• Chinese cabbage (we need inner, softer leaves);
• cottage cheese;
• red sweet pepper;
• greenery.

Finely chop the pepper, mix with curd cheese and chopped herbs.

We will wrap it in Chinese cabbage leaves, as you like: even in envelopes, even in rolls.

And now a few more simple recipes that will delight both children and adults.

Vegetable "sticks" with sauce

• Young celery stalks;
• young carrot;
• cucumbers;
• soft processed cheese;
• Greek natural yogurt;
• garlic;
• mayonnaise;
• dill;
• radish.

Wash the petioles thoroughly and clean from coarse elements. Cut the cucumber lengthwise into 4-8 "sticks", depending on the thickness of the cucumber. We wash and peel the carrots, if it is thick, we will also cut it lengthwise, and if it is thin, we will leave it like that.

Let's make sauces:

1. Mix the melted cheese with mayonnaise, chop the dill and add it there. Pass the garlic through a press and add it to the sauce as well. Let's mix.
2. Add finely grated radishes to Greek yogurt. If it is very liquid, you can put a spoon or two of hard cheese grated on the smallest grater.

We dip the "sticks" in the sauce and eat with pleasure. Delicious sauce, instead of celery, can be spread on bread or potatoes.

Tiny sandwiches - canapes - can be prepared with anything. It is better to make 5-10 different pieces.

1. Crackers spread with curd cheese and a pitted olive.
2. The same, but sprinkled with a mixture of herbs.
3. Pieces of white bread smeared with mustard, cucumber and smoked meat.
4. The same, but grease with melted cheese and top with a slice of tomato.
5. A piece of black bread smeared with horseradish, and boiled pork on it.
6. A piece of black bread, dried in a toaster, lightly rubbed with garlic, and a sprat.
7. A slice of toaster-dried whole grain bread and finely chopped, stewed eggplant, bell pepper and tomato (cool beforehand!).

boats

This dish is very popular with children.

• cucumbers;
• crab sticks;
• canned corn;
• some mayonnaise;
• red bell pepper.

Wash the cucumbers, cut in half lengthwise, take out the inside with a spoon.

It is not required, it can be cut somewhere in.

Finely chop the crab sticks, mix with corn and lightly season with mayonnaise and salt.

Wash the pepper, remove the seeds.

We cut out sharp triangles from it - these are the sails of our "boats".

We insert a wooden skewer into each boat, pricking a “sail” on it.

The boats are ready to sail for the children's party.

And finally cheese balls .

• Cheese hard or semi-hard - 500 g;
• mayonnaise;
• quiche-mish;
• almond;
• hard-boiled eggs - 3 pcs;
• sesame;
• frozen crab sticks;
• cherry.

Grate the cheese on the smallest grater, mix thoroughly with mayonnaise. Peel the eggs, grate on a fine grater. Crab sticks are also grated, without defrosting.

We divide the cheese mass into three parts. We take a little mass in the palm of our hand, make a “cake”, put the almond kernel on it, form it into a ball and wrap it in sesame seeds.

The last four dishes are perfect for a children's party.

From the second part of the mass we will make balls stuffed with quiche-mish, wrapped in crab sticks, and from the third - stuffed with cherry tomatoes, wrapped in egg and salt.

Put the balls mixed on a dish, decorate with lettuce leaves.
