Festive menu for the new year. Festive salad - Salmon on a fur coat

The New Year holiday is celebrated in our country on a large scale. Long before the festival itself, preparations for the New Year's feast begin. In a few weeks, a list of dishes for the New Year's table has already been compiled and a list of products necessary for this has been formed. That is, everything that was bought up and prepared for weeks is planned to be eaten on New Year's Eve. Ready meals are stored for a short time, only a few days, then they become hazardous to health. Therefore, in order not to overdo it and then not throw away food, it is necessary to take into account how much and what needs to be cooked, that is, a New Year's menu is compiled. We offer recipes for the festive table 2019 of all types of main and additional dishes that do not require excessive cash costs and long preparation.

When compiling the New Year's menu, one should take into account where the festival will take place and the number of people. For example, booking a table for the New Year 2019 in a restaurant implies that you will be offered a certain list of dishes anyway. It remains only to choose the right ones, taking into account tastes and cost.

If the financial situation does not allow you to walk on New Year's Eve in a restaurant, then independently draw up a budget menu for the New Year for the family. In this case, you will not have to pay exorbitant prices, as well as doubt the quality and freshness of the prepared dishes. In addition, there will be an opportunity to think over the children's menu. Children's digestive system is quite fragile. Therefore, you should be careful with the choice and quantity of dishes. The celebration begins in the evening and lasts all night, which means that eating a heavy meal late can provoke unpleasant consequences. Your task is to select a festive, and at the same time, a dietary menu for a child, taking into account his age and taste.

• From meat it is better to give preference to poultry: chicken, quail. Goose and turkey are considered more “heavy”.
• If a crispy fried crust has formed on the meat during baking, then it is better not to give it to the child. Chicken breast (white meat) is considered the most useful and dietary.
• The minimum number of spicy and fatty dishes, as well as salads with sauces, mayonnaise.

It will suffice:

• Mashed potatoes / pasta + a piece of chicken / quail.
• Salad without mayonnaise (or with a small amount) + cheese sandwich.
• Dessert (piece of cake, cookies, waffles or chocolate).

A festive table for two does not require a large amount of products. Therefore, you can experiment with cooking a small amount of exotic dishes.

So what to cook for the New Year 2019? The menu should contain the following dishes:

• Meat / fish.
• Side dishes.
• Salads.
• Snacks, sandwiches.
• Dessert.

Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are a separate item on the menu.

Holiday table decoration

On a festive New Year's Eve, it is necessary to decorate not only the Christmas tree. The table on which your culinary masterpieces will be placed requires special attention. It is decorated with thematic elements of decor:

• Pine / spruce branches.

• Compositions of Christmas balls and coniferous branches.

To add romance and mystery, you can decorate the New Year's table with thick yellow candles.

Decor options for holiday dishes

For the New Year 2019, the main hot dish will be a side dish. Most housewives cook potatoes, but you can cook rice. You will need:

It is desirable to spread the appetizer on black bread.

New Year's desserts

As a dessert, they serve: jelly, waffles, chocolates, tubes with condensed milk or cream, cake, cupcake. Sweets can be bought from stores, but it is better and safer to cook them yourself.

The decoration of the festive table, of course, will be a cake. Since the dessert is served at the very end of the New Year's meal, the sweet product should be light and airy. Cake with cream will aggravate the already heavy load on the digestive system. Therefore, the lemon biscuit will be optimal.

Festive biscuit 2019

• 4 eggs.
• 3 art. flour.
• 2 tbsp. Sahara.
• Lemon.
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar.
• 2 tsp baking powder.
• 1 st. milk.
• Breadcrumbs.
• Vegetable oil 50 ml.

1. Break the eggs into a large bowl. Add sugar (regular and vanilla) and baking powder. Beat everything well with a mixer.
2. In the resulting mixture, grate the zest (peel) of the lemon. For a more lemony flavor, add squeezed fruit juice.
3. Add flour, milk and vegetable oil. Once again, beat everything well with a mixer.
4. Pour some vegetable oil into a baking dish. Please note that the form should be high, because the biscuit will rise. Sprinkle flour and breadcrumbs into butter. You should get a non-liquid and not dry mixture. Coat the entire surface of the baking dish with this mass.
5. Preheat oven to 220-250℃. Pour the dough into the mold and set to bake. It is not advisable to open the oven until the dough has risen.

The cake will bake for 30-40 minutes. To check if it's done, poke it with a knife. If the knife is dry (no sticky dough), then the dessert is ready.

If everything is done correctly, then getting the biscuit out of the mold is easy. Run a knife along the side borders of the biscuit and form. Turn the mold over and the biscuit itself will fall out of it.

The biscuit is fluffy and airy. Sprinkle the finished product with powdered sugar, cocoa or coconut flakes.

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks

The choice of alcoholic beverages by strength depends on: the needs of the guests and the hosts of the feast. A well-known rule: when drinking alcoholic beverages, drink them as the strength increases and have a good snack so as not to spoil the holiday.

The choice of soft drinks is also a matter of taste only:

• Tea (green, black),
• Coffee (natural, instant).
• Cocoa.
• Dried fruits compote.

The choice of menu for the New Year's table 2019 depends on the family's budget and taste preferences. Separately, you should consider a children's, dietary menu, because an immature digestive system may not be able to cope with an abundant amount of fatty and heavy food. Since there is usually a lot of work on New Year's Eve, choose dishes that do not take much time and effort, but at the same time will be tasty and unusual.

How to make a menu for the new year 2019

In this section, we offer you new and proven recipes for the New Year of the Pig.

Meat dishes

In order not to offend the future patron, the menu of the New Year's table 2019 should not contain recipes where pork is present. Everything else is allowed, and in large quantities, as the Pig loves abundance and prosperity.

What is delicious to cook for the New Year 2019 - chicken in a special recipe. The combination of herbs and spices, along with the fragrant and juicy taste of meat, flavored with a delicate creamy filling, is perfect for the New Year's table.

You will need:

• chicken breasts - 3 pcs.;
• ham (beef, chicken) - 50 g;
• vegetable oil - 2 table. l.;
• salt, a mixture of peppers - a pinch;
• dry white (good) wine - 50 ml.

For filling

• cottage cheese - 1 table. l.;
• basmati rice - 50 g;
• butter - 0.5 table. l.;
• vegetable oil - 0.5 tsp;

Cooking

1. Boil rice in advance in 100 ml of water.

If you want to create a simpler menu, you can stuff the chicken meat in a different way: put a thin piece of ham or sausage (boiled, smoked) as a filling, and a piece of cheese on top. Form rolls, roll them in breadcrumbs, then in beaten eggs, and again in breadcrumbs. Fry for 10 minutes over medium heat on each side. This dish is known as cordon bleu.

Next, put the vegetable in a greased baking sheet, salt, pepper and cover with melted butter using a silicone brush.

If you want to add a “zest” to the rice side dish, you can add a mixture for risotto or individual vegetables to it while cooking: carrots, corn, sweet peppers, peas.

1. Divide each cake lengthwise into even parts and cut. It turns out 4 cakes of 2 pieces of the same color.
2. We cover the cutting board with cling film or parchment and put a dark biscuit on it.
3. Beat the ganache again with a mixer. And we grease them with the first layer of the future cake.
4. So it is necessary to coat all the cakes, alternating layers and slightly pressing them down. The top layer is not lubricated with cream.
5. Cover the cake with cling film and put in the freezer for 1 hour.
6. Next, the cakes need to be cut. To do this, we focus on the view of the cake from the side of a smaller length. We put the knife on the top corner and make a diagonal cut, moving to the opposite bottom edge of the cake. At the same time, it is important to immediately grab all the cakes so that you get two equal parts of the cake with a triangular cut.
7. We connect both halves of the cake, smearing the side with cream and “gluing” them to each other. It should turn out on a cut a large triangle of two small ones.
8. Top the cake with the remaining cream. Smooth with a knife and decorate to your liking. You can sprinkle grated cocoa, powdered sugar, nuts on top, or create a decor with butter cream.
