As everyone already knows, the upcoming 2019 will be held under the sign of the Yellow Earth Pig. And therefore, according to the already established tradition, we began to take this fact into account when preparing for the solemn day.

We are trying to find out better what to expect from the coming period. We read horoscopes, we try to figure out how the Symbol of the next 365 days can affect our lives. And of course, we are first of all preparing for the celebration, taking into account what the Master of the Year loves! To appease him, and to help him make the next segment of life successful for us in every way!

And for this we select for ourselves the appropriate festive attire. We buy necessary and beautiful gifts for friends and relatives, and of course we set a beautiful festive table.

And there is not a single hostess or host who would not ask himself the question “What to cook for the festive table?” After all, this question is by no means rhetorical. All of us on December 30, 31 will put on aprons and settle down in our kitchen for a long time. After all, you need to have time to cook appetizers, and salads, and main dishes, and desserts.

And in order not to forget anything, and not to cook anything superfluous, you need to make a menu in advance. It will help you plan what you need to buy. What can be stored for a long time, buy in advance, and buy perishable products the day before.

When compiling the menu for the Year of the Yellow Pig, some features must be taken into account. Let's look at the wishes for the holiday menu.

• Firstly, Pig is omnivorous, which means we will cook completely different and delicious dishes.
• secondly, the Boar is not against different types of meat, and he will be happy with beef, lamb, chicken, fish and seafood. Do not forget that pork in any form is not served this evening.
• thirdly, the image of the Master of the Year in the design of dishes will be very useful.
• fourthly, the bright, colorful design of the dishes will please Piggy. Who will refuse when such a holiday is arranged in his honor.
• fifthly, dishes should be homemade, tasty and cooked with love. It is always more pleasant to deal with a domestic calm Boar than with a hungry furious boar.
• sixth, do not abuse strong drinks. And then by chance you can fall asleep at the table, burying your face in a salad. And then everyone will not be the best way to compare you with a Pig !!!

However, you can spend the outgoing year with dignity. To say thank you to the owner of the passed segment of life is to thank the Yellow Dog for all the good that she has done for us. Therefore, you can spend it by making a small salad with her image.

Here are the main wishes for the menu. If you manage to comply with them, then it will be just great! The Boar and the Pig will not leave this unattended. They will understand that this respect and respect we render to them.

Well, it's good for us too. We also want our festive table to be beautiful, and tasty "home-style" is covered. Therefore, in this our desires coincide with him!

Let me offer you options for dishes from which you can create an excellent menu for your table without much hassle and long searches.

The menu, as expected, includes snacks, salads (moreover, pay attention to the link that will lead you to the most beloved and most sought after - there are a lot of them!).

The main dishes are presented with recipes of tasty and beautiful meat, fish, duck.

I also paid a lot of attention to desserts and drinks. After all, we are preparing for a real big holiday. Therefore, you need to think about everything!

On the festive table, we usually prepare several different options for snacks, put out meat, fish and vegetable plates, prepare two or three salads, one main hot dish and dessert, it can be a cake, mousse, jelly, soufflé. Pies are often baked, dumplings are molded and boiled. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, strong drinks are also served on the table.

Salad "Rooster"

What's a New Year's table without salads?

Since it has already become a tradition to cook a hundred with a focus on the Eastern calendar, then 2017 of the Fire Rooster will not be an exception. The rooster is a zealous owner. He likes natural and simple dishes. It is very good to decorate the table with plentiful pastries, for example, pies.

Herring under a Fur Coat

Greens with vegetables - special attention. And for a snack - small sandwiches with vegetables and meat ingredients. For drinks - wines, tinctures or cocktails. And it is advisable to add liqueurs or fruit wines to all dishes with alcoholic dressing.

If there is a small plate with grain on the table, then such a move will make the festive composition more interesting, and the owner of the year will like it. To create the appropriate atmosphere from the very beginning of the feast - a cocktail salad.

After all, holidays are not complete without salads. And in addition to the usual options for the New Year 2017, you can cook new, not yet tried recipes.

So, air salad is a dish that is both hearty and unusual. Fry half a kilogram of champignons in hot oil with finely chopped onion, pepper and salt are added to taste.

Cut into cubes a dozen crab sticks. Tinder on a fine grater six boiled eggs and mix the ingredients. For dressing - mayonnaise. The salad is laid out on a large dish in a slide and decorated with soft cheese on top.

A spicy Korean salad will appeal to those who prefer dishes "with character". In cooking, consistency is important. Start with one hundred grams of green beans. It is fried in hot oil until golden brown. Lay out on a paper towel, cool, relieve excess oil.

Meanwhile, sauté six mushrooms and place on paper towels to cool. The components are combined and one hundred grams of Korean carrots and eight olives are added. Salt and pepper the salad as needed, and insist before serving for about an hour in the refrigerator. The finished dish is decorated with pine nuts and herbs.

Snowman from eggs and vegetables

For a salad with garlic-cheese sauce, three boiled eggs are cut into strips. So many de tomatoes and one hundred and fifty grams of crab sticks, cut into strips, are added to them. Hard cheese completes the list of ingredients, you will need to rub one hundred grams.

For a fragrant sauce, lettuce raisins, squeeze a couple of cloves of garlic, mix with cheese. Spread the finished dish in rings or figures. Decorate with lettuce leaves, herbs or pine nuts.

Salad "Delight"

It is advisable to refuse chicken on the table: the Rooster does not like eating his relatives! And in the usual form, chicken eggs should not be on the table. But they are not forbidden in salads either, and in the form of snowmen with skewers (see photo) they are quite appropriate. To really please the Rooster, you can replace chicken eggs with quail. And for the main dish, it is better to take less fat and oil. Appetizers with vegetables, herbs and lean meat look great. And you shouldn't overdo it with spiciness.

The best foods for a festive meal are olives, spices, cheeses and fish. Baked fish, salmon or trout are very good. And garnished with potatoes.

Cocktails - Host's Choice of the Year 2017

Cocktail, cock's tail - a drink more relevant than ever. That's why it should be on the table! To prepare the “Mood” cocktail, lay the bottom of an elegant tall glass with ice, mix three parts of cherry wine and one dark rum. Coca-Cola is added to the mixture.

Various vegetables

Decorate the drink with a slice of lemon or a berry. The straw will also look great. Yes, it will take a little time to cook.

It takes longer to prepare the Champagne cocktail. For him, vermouth, champagne and sugar are mixed equally. Add lemon juice to the mixture and stir. The drink is cooled in the refrigerator and poured into glasses. Decorate each with umbrellas and lemon slices. It is advisable to pour the drink into glasses with a New Year's theme, you can even draw snowflakes by hand, and do not forget about the ice.

Originality and simplicity - the trend of 2017

Pedantry is what distinguishes the owner of the upcoming 2017. He likes the classic, he loves simplicity and appreciates elegance. But no, no, and something extravagant will flash in the usual course of events. So there must be a “highlight” on the table!

Quail eggs instead of chicken!

Side dishes, vegetables, cuts, fruits - there should be as many of them on the festive table as possible. And the place for salads! The Rooster does not like heavy meals. Not for him and fried with salt, and strong alcohol. A good idea for a feast - sushi. Meat is not needed, so the owner of the year is satisfied. He likes rice and fish dishes. It is wonderful to decorate the table with dishes of shrimp and other seafood. And with them, stews, casseroles, and fresh vegetables wonderfully harmonize in taste. And the jellied fish will not be superfluous.

And for the traditional "Herring under a fur coat" you can cook homemade mayonnaise. And give originality to the dish by serving in the form of a roll or Christmas tree, portioned into plates and garnished with herbs.

If you can’t do without meat, for example, a celebration is planned outside the city, in nature, then pots with lamb and vegetables are perfect. Beef and pork are not prohibited. Why not cook a Wiener Schnitzel instead of the usual duck or chicken? The rooster may not be too shocked and angered by chicken dishes, but it's better not to risk it.

As for desserts, there are no prescriptions. It is only important to take into account that heavy food, like a strong degree, interferes with concentration, and the future owner of the year will not tolerate such.

And there are requirements for serving. Soft and plain tablecloth, golden, pink, and best of all - white. Matching tablecloths and napkins. Dishes - ceramic, wooden or glass. It is very good to focus on the rustic color. No plastic! Don't forget the water glasses. Decorate the table with a lot of red, golden candles. The atmosphere will receive a magical mystery and elegance.

According to legend, the New Year 2017 takes away all the troubles and hardships, allowing you to start a new life from a clean page. That is why it is important to prepare for such a celebration in advance. And it's worth starting with the menu. The table should not break from an abundance of dishes: the Rooster loves to save money to a reasonable degree. But there is no point in saving either: the golden mean is always optimal.

Hot dishes, salads, snacks, cuts, desserts, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks should flaunt on the festive table. Snacks are preferred bright and original. Meat and fish dishes are a must. A vegetable side dish is better. Very good potato.

Holiday drinks are special. Here is the best place. Great for cedar liqueur. For him, two hundred grams of pine nuts and a third of a glass of sugar are placed in a clean jar. Top up with half a liter of vodka and put the container for a month in a dark place. The finished drink is topped up with vodka and served.

Pies with various fillings

What's for the hot dish?

Hot dishes are prepared in the colors of the holiday: red and yellow vegetables, golden brown ... Recipes with fish and potatoes are best suited for the role of light food. For baked pink salmon, fish is cut, preparing fillets from it. It is cut into several pieces. Put the fish on a greased baking sheet and add seasonings, pour over lemon juice. Generously smeared with mayonnaise, pink salmon is set aside to soak.

In the meantime, onions are cut into half rings, carrots are grated and vegetables are lightly fried in a pan. Fry put on each fish piece, sprinkle with seasoning for fish. Half rings cut tomatoes and cover the fish on top. All put in the oven for three quarters of an hour and baked at a temperature of 180 degrees. The dish is served hot.

A great hot option is potatoes with sour cream and cheese. Thanks to the cheese, piquancy is felt, and sour cream gives tenderness. It makes an excellent side dish with fish or meat. A kilo of potatoes is peeled, washed and cut into thin circles. Coarsely rub 200 grams of cheese.

The form is generously greased with butter and spread the potatoes in a thin layer. Watering abundantly with sour cream, the whole dish needs about 450 grams, pepper, salt and spices are added. Next is a layer of grated cheese. Then all layers are repeated again. Bake the filled form at two hundred degrees for twenty-five minutes.

The finished dish is laid out on plates, used as a side dish for meat. And for cooking potatoes with champignons, neither special skills nor knowledge are required. But it will turn out an excellent festive dish for novice housewives. They start by cutting the onion into thin half rings and frying it until soft in thirty grams of butter.

Then two hundred and fifty grams of champignons are cut into thin slices, added to the onion and fried, seasoned with salt and pepper, for ten minutes. Add half a teaspoon of paprika, a couple of cloves of garlic and herbs to the pan. Everything is mixed, two hundred and fifty milliliters of sour cream, milk are added, mixed again, salted and stewed for four to five minutes over low heat.

Half of the peeled and sliced ​​\u200b\u200bpotatoes are laid out in a mold greased with butter, salted, poured with the resulting sauce, covered with foil and stewed in the oven for three quarters of an hour at two hundred degrees. The foil is removed and the dish is left in the oven for another third of an hour.

For New Year's canapes, small squares of a loaf are fried until golden brown. Cool and brush with a thin layer of melted cheese. Red fish is cut to the size of a piece of bread and placed on a loaf. On top of the fish - a circle of fresh or salted, pickled cucumber and olive. It is not recommended to store such an appetizer. Therefore, it is prepared before serving, not in advance.

Tomatoes are cut into circles, smeared with sauce and each circle is placed between zucchini rings. You can apply.

And no desserts...

Cottage cheese blancmange is a great option for a New Year's dessert! You don't need to bake it. In half a glass of milk, a bag of gelatin is diluted for a third of an hour until it swells. Until smooth, mix a quarter kilogram of cottage cheese with half a glass of sour cream, this amount of powdered sugar and vanilla sugar sachets. A couple of pineapple rings are cut into small pieces.

Milk with gelatin is heated, not to a boil. The mass is poured into the curd and mixed. Pineapple pieces are added and left to harden, poured into a beautiful shape, for 4-5 hours in the refrigerator.

It is very good if dishes of national cuisine are presented on the table. Do not serve semi-finished and canned foods. Pancake rolls, potato nests with mushroom or meat filling, jellied meat, tomatoes in mustard dressing, and fish in batter are a good diversification of the festive table. And the most responsible housewives, in order to please the Cockerel, prepare a salad with sprouted grains.

To impress guests, you will have to spend a lot of time preparing a masterpiece. But the effort is worth it: a suckling pig baked whole, with cabbage and potatoes, or a stuffed pike will be highly appreciated.

If there is no desire and time to mess around in the kitchen all day, then you can serve spicy veal with dried fruits, pork ribs in honey or salmon in mustard sauce. And for a side dish - grilled vegetables or stewed beans, if the potatoes are too commonplace. Very good green rice.

And at the end of the festive feast - homemade cakes. And homemade fragrant cookies, and chocolate roll, and yogurt cakes are perfect for the New Year's table 2017. If a fruit dessert is planned, then it is better to keep it simple. Fruit salads, wine-baked pears, strawberry creme brulee and honey-dipped apples are delicious and quick. And the owner of the coming year will be highly appreciated by homemade liqueurs and fruit drinks.

It's great if the table is full of tasty and light dishes. But the meeting of the New Year is not one continuous feast. So don't just focus on food. There should be time for dancing, and for competitions, and for a walk around the New Year's city. Then the meeting will go well, and you won’t have to remember the festive night as a series of successive dishes.
