Salad "Men's Dreams"

Our loved ones love this salad because it contains all the favorite "male" ingredients: meat, cheese, onions and mayonnaise. It is best if you make it in layers and in two "floors" - so it will seem that there are twice as many favorite components.

  • Vinegar - 1 tbsp. l.
  • Salt - 1 tsp

Cooking:

1. Peel the onions and chop them into medium oblong pieces. Do not chop too much or, on the contrary, cut into large pieces, because then the onion will need to be marinated. If the onion pieces are not medium in size, then they will either not marinate or turn sour.


2. Send the chopped onion to a large bowl. Pour sugar and salt there and pour a spoonful of vinegar. Pour boiling water over and mix well so that the vinegar mixes with hot water and the onion marinated evenly during the time while the rest of the ingredients are being prepared.


3. Well boiled in salted water soft beef cut into medium cubes.


4. On coarse grater chop hard cheese.


5. Similarly, chop all the eggs.


6. Chop the walnuts into small pieces so that the nut is then felt in the salad, but does not interrupt all other tastes.


7. On big dish install a detachable form for baking a cake. It is best if its diameter is about 20 centimeters. Spread the cubes of meat in the first even layer.


8. Throwing the pickled onion into a colander, let all the liquid drain and leave it to dry slightly for a couple of minutes. Then spread half over the meat.


9. Spread with sauce. It is best if it is, which is prepared very simply, and much more beneficial for the body.


10. Sprinkle half the mass of prepared chopped eggs on top.


11. Distribute half of the cheese so that all previous layers are completely hidden under it.


12. Sprinkle with walnuts. It is desirable that they do not gather in heaps, but are distributed evenly over the entire surface.


13. Apply good layer mayonnaise so that the previous three layers can soak.


14. Repeat all layers in the same sequence. Pour the second half of the meat into the mold and level it with a continuous layer.


15. Cover the meat with an onion layer.


16. Soak with airy homemade mayonnaise.


17. Distribute the second half of the crushed eggs.


18. Finish with a cheese layer, pouring and leveling the second half of the cheese.


19. Thoroughly soak the layer with mayonnaise.


20. And then decorate our puff salad with nut crumbs.


21. Send it to infuse and cool for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Then carefully remove the form, being careful not to damage the layers. To do this, slightly rotate the form around the axis.


22. Lettuce can be cut like a cake into neat triangular pieces and served in portions. It already looks very beautiful, but if you wish, you can additionally decorate with greenery.


The first dish for a romantic dinner especially for your man is ready!

7. So that the roundels do not fall apart and the strudels remain juicy, fry them on both sides until golden brown.


It is possible not to fry, but then the strudel will taste more like “lazy dumplings”.

8. Chop the remaining onions and carrots, fry until half cooked, while peppering and salting to your taste.

Menu for February 14 No. 2 in a classic style

A man cooks for his beloved

Action plan:

Two days before the gala dinner:

Let's start with champagne! To be more precise - from the preparation of jelly from this noble drink. Believe me more spectacular dessert it will be hard for you to figure out. The cooking process is very logical and understandable, so you just need to carefully follow the instructions in the recipe. Strawberries can be used frozen, but some are beautiful. fresh berries for decoration is still better to find. Champagne and strawberries are already a holiday. And champagne and strawberries in winter are a holiday squared.

The day before the holiday:

Let's make punch syrup. The punch itself can be mixed directly during the gala dinner. But in order not to bother with squeezing the juice and rubbing the zest, it is better to take care of a small homemade preparation in advance. Pour vodka over lemon syrup - nothing will be done with it in a day, only it will infuse better.

Also on this day, it is worth making a preparation for hot food in advance. Stuff chicken breasts blue cheese, wrap in bacon and refrigerate. You can immediately place the blanks in a baking dish. Then on February 14 you will only have to put it in the oven half an hour before serving hot.

On a holiday:

Let's do a review. Do we already have dessert? Eat! Chicken languishing in the oven? It languishes like a cute little one. Punch is already on the table and is bubbling with champagne and celebration. Is there really nothing more to be done? Did you forget the salad? You don't want to deprive your lady of the opportunity to see the great Chef at work, do you? For this purpose, we left the salad “for dessert”, if you know what we mean. So let's create a show! We quickly and confidently rub the celery root and apple and effectively, for a long time, and thoroughly mix the dressing. We warn you right away - there are three minutes of work there. But even a little acting skills will help you turn this process into a real cooking show. Don't forget the whisk! Mixing salad dressing with a fork is bad manners.

Grocery list:

Chicken breast - 4 pcs.
Blue cheese - 50 g
Grain mustard - 4 tsp
Bacon - 20 slices (raw smoked)
Celery root - 300 g
Apple - 1 pc.
Yogurt - 150 g
Grain mustard - 2 tsp
Walnuts - 3 tbsp. l.
Sesame - 1 tbsp. l.
Greens - 1 bunch
Strawberries - 200 g
Champagne - 550 ml.

Hearts on Valentine's Day can be given not only beautiful, but also edible, combining, so to speak, pleasant with useful 🙂 Even if the subject of your romantic sighs and culinary efforts does not really like sweets, or even (it happens!) Adheres to an exceptionally healthy diet , preferring to seize a piece of apple for breakfast with a piece of carrot for dinner, he will certainly be pleased with your sweet gift. After all, once a year you can retreat from strict diets and enjoy something delicious! Especially if this delicious dish is prepared by a loved one.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can make it for delicious treat, and for a nice gift for February 14 - because it has the shape of a heart, and if you pick up a beautiful package or a festive box and put our sweet valentines in it - there will be a wonderful holiday surprise for all the sweet tooth! Which, by the way, are many not only among the beautiful half of humanity, but also among the representatives of the stronger sex (although they do not always admit this!).

WE WILL NEED:

  • 270 g flour
  • 150 g butter (margarine)
  • 100 g of powdered sugar (sugar)
  • 2 yolks
  • zest of half a lemon (orange)
  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar (vanillin on the tip of a knife)
  • a pinch of salt (1/3 tsp)
  • thick jam (jam)
  • powdered sugar (for sprinkling finished cookies)

Let's start preparing the dough.

  1. Put softened butter (or margarine) into a bowl. Add sugar (or powdered sugar) with vanilla, and rub everything thoroughly.
  2. Grate the zest of half a lemon fine grater.
  3. Add the yolks and mix everything thoroughly. In two doses add 250 gr. flour, and the remaining 20 gr. pour on the table under the dough. We knead a soft plastic dough, try not to add more flour - to avoid excessive rigidity.
  4. The photo shows how soft and plastic dough we got. Great! Now let's wrap it in cling film and send for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  5. Let's roll out the dough like this interesting method between two sheets of parchment paper. Since the dough is very tender, and we don’t need extra flour at all. Roll out the dough with a thickness of 4-5 mm. This is the thickness that will allow the cookies to remain soft and not too thick.
  6. Remove the top parchment. We take a mold in the form of a large heart and right on the sheet we begin to form our sweet valentines. The dough that is left will be put into action again: we will collect it in a lump, roll it out and make a few more hearts.
  7. Now take a smaller heart shape and cut out these things. At the same time, we also form a bunch of small hearts.
  8. We put the dough in a hot oven at 180 degrees. For 7-10 minutes, but you watch for readiness - the cookies should remain soft, not overdried, light.
  9. Sprinkle our hearts with a recess with powdered sugar.
  10. We put a spoon on whole large heart-cookies thick jam- in the middle. From above we glue the top sprinkled with powder. It turns out a two-layer valentine with a beautiful colored center and snow-white sprinkling. If you take jam different colors, it will be an even more beautiful dish. Although I think it all looks quite charming and appetizing!

Homemade cookies for February 14 - Marzipan Hearts.

Perhaps these cookies do not look as perfect as the ones from previous recipe, and, perhaps, his photo will not get on the covers of popular women's magazines, but believe me, this unique nutty taste And you won't be able to forget the aroma for a long time!

For marzipan mass we need:

  • 80 gr. almond
  • 60 gr. powdered sugar
  • 1 egg - only protein needed
  • 1 tsp liquor

First, prepare the marzipan mass.

1 Pour boiling water over the almonds, dry and grind on a fine grater, coffee grinder or blender. 2 Beat the protein with powdered sugar in a thick mass and combine with the nut mixture. Also add a spoonful of liquor. Leave for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator.

Cooking dough.

For the test, let's take:

  • 100 gr. butter
  • 70 gr. Sahara
  • 150 gr. flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder for dough
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 150 gr. marzipan mass
3 Mix softened butter with sugar and chilled marzipan mass, the one that has already been prepared by us above. 4 Sift flour with baking powder and ginger through a sieve and mix with dough. Roll the dough into a ball, cover with foil and refrigerate for another 2 hours. 5 Roll out the cold dough directly through the film (so as not to add more flour) to a thickness of 0.5 cm. Cut out hearts with a cookie cutter. 6 Spread on a baking sheet and bake in a hot oven at 180 degrees for 7-10 minutes. 7 Cover the cooled cookies with marzipan with pink icing and decorate to your taste. Bon appetit!

It turns out that such culinary masterpieces can be made in your own kitchen with your own hands! And it's not difficult at all.

For this recipe, the usual parchment paper won't suit us. Siliconized paper is best, or even better, a reusable Teflon baking mat. On him back side gingerbread will be even and smooth, and the caramel will not stick to the mat.

For a uniform thickness of rolling out the dough, you can use 2 planochki-strips half a centimeter thick (can be made from cardboard, plastic, etc.). Dough is placed between them and when rolled out with a rolling pin, the thickness of the layer we need is formed.

Molds of two hearts - bigger and smaller, to get a "rim" strong enough in width (so that the cookies do not break).

Caramel is best to take like this, red and pink. because red and pink are the most popular colors for hearts and valentines on February 14th.

1 Prepare any shortbread dough, which holds its shape well, for example, the dough from the first recipe.

Or you can take something like this:

  • 250-300 gr flour
  • 100 gr butter room temperature
  • 100 gr sugar (can be brown)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 0.5 teaspoon of soda
  • 2 teaspoons ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon cloves, cardamom, allspice, anise, nutmeg, cocoa, zest (optional)
2 Dust the mat with flour and roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm. 3 First cut out a large and then a small heart inside. We send the resulting "frames" in the shape of hearts to a hot oven (180 degrees) for literally 2-3 minutes, so that the dough grabs and lightly browned. 4 Put the caramel in the middle of each workpiece and send it again (for 5-6 minutes) to the hot oven. In this case, the caramel will melt and fill the entire area of ​​​​our window. You can split multi-colored caramels and pour the fragments into a mold - then when baking, our “window” will turn out to be multi-colored, like a stained-glass window. Very beautiful effect! 5 After we got our hearts out of the oven, let them cool completely on the sheet, because if you try to remove them right away, the caramel can be deformed. 6 Cookies can be placed in a beautiful box with thin pink or colored paper (“silence” paper) and supplemented with a good message. All this will be beautiful and original gift for Valentine's Day, a gift made with love, with your own hands. best gift for your loved one!

Pink cookies with declarations of love - The perfect gift for Valentine's Day!


This cookie may not look exactly like a heart, but its pink color, and most importantly, the secret love message that you put inside, successfully compensate for this lack. After all, a valentine on Valentine's Day is, first of all, a declaration of love. And if you make cookies according to this recipe, you will have a whole plate of such confessions!

In addition, no one has yet canceled the surprise effect - everyone, from young to old, loves surprises and unexpected amenities ...

Love Declaration Cookie Recipe:

  • 2 proteins and a pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2-3 tbsp water
  • vanilla (optional)
1 Separate the whites from the yolks. Try not to get a drop of the yolk into the bowl with the whites, otherwise it will be difficult to beat a good one. thick foam. Add a pinch of salt and start beating the whites with a mixer. Ideally - to the state of stable peaks - when taking a spoon out of the whipped mass, we get a non-settling, stable peak. Well, or when turning over a bowl with well-whipped proteins, they should remain at the bottom of the bowl - this is the density of the foam we need. 2 Add half a glass of sifted flour and vegetable oil to the proteins. Gently and slowly mix our mass until smooth. 3 The mass became homogeneous, but a little thick. Add 2-3 tbsp. spoons of warm water. At the same time, you can add vanillin, if you plan to use it. The dough should turn out to be quite liquid, almost like pancakes - in consistency. 4 Prepare a circle template (glass, glass, something round) with a diameter of about 7-8 cm. This is the most convenient diameter for our future products. On a sheet of parchment, apply 6 such circles and turn the sheet over with a pencil drawing down. Parchment quality can be different - you need to choose one so that the cookies do not stick to the paper. You can also just grease a baking sheet with oil and spread the dough on it - it lags behind perfectly and nothing sticks!

We spread 1 tablespoon of the dough in the center of the circle and in a circular motion with a spoon we level along the borders of the circle, smearing the dough. You don’t need to make them too thin, otherwise they will break when folded.

5 We send the sheet to a preheated oven (180-190 degrees) for 5 minutes - until the edges are slightly browned. We will get out of the included, hot oven with the door open, one at a time, as the cookies break easily when cooling. 6 Prepare strips with wishes and confessions, as well as several round small containers, for example, coffee cups, pieces 4. Now we take out the hot (while it is plastic) cookie from the oven, put the strip with recognition in the middle and wrap it in half, aligning the edges. 7 Using the edge of the glass, we form our cookies: put it across on the edge of the glass, with the seam up, and press the edges down, we get the shape of such a “half dumpling”. In order for the form to be preserved and frozen in this form - put the rolled cookie on the bottom of the cup - let it cool there.
8 To get pink (and hearts should be exactly that color!) Cookies, add 2 drops of food gel coloring to the dough. The rest of the cooking steps are exactly the same. By the way, baking paper can be reused.

NOTE

From the volume of products indicated in the recipe, approximately 24 cookies with a diameter of 7.5 cm are obtained.


Such cookies are not only a beautiful surprise, but also a very tasty dessert! At a minimum, an interesting and intriguing process of extracting and reading holiday and love wishes will ensure you have fun with your soulmate!

How to make colored icing for painting gingerbread and cookies - Video.

Recipe for colored glaze for painting gingerbread:

  • 1 protein
  • 200 gr. powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice;

A few notes on this recipe:

  1. powdered sugar you need to take (or make) as finely ground as possible. Large particles will give unnecessary graininess to our glaze. Therefore, it is better to sift the powdered sugar through a fine sieve to exclude large inclusions.
  2. Lemon juice can be replaced with citric acid diluted in water. Lemon juice not only gives sourness to sweet glaze, but also plays another important role - it does not allow it to quickly crystallize.
  3. Dyes need to be selected. Of course, only food. Who can't bear chemical additives and does not want to use them on principle, they can use the natural juices of red berries or beets - to get red and shades of pink. But keep in mind that juices will give a lot of dampness to our glaze and it can dry for a very long time.
  4. Can be used dry paint- dilute it in small amount water and inject into the protein. At the same time, slightly increase the amount of powdered sugar.
  5. To glaze dried up faster - you can dry products with a layer of glaze applied to them in the oven at minimum power. It is also worth doing for those who are afraid to eat raw egg white.
  6. Is it possible store ready icing? Under what conditions and for how long? Yes, you can keep it in the fridge for a couple of days. It can be longer, but it changes its consistency. To increase the shelf life, you can wrap the bag in a wet napkin and close it under the lid in a plastic container, and store it in the refrigerator in this form.
  7. After complete drying frosting becomes very hard- this is normal, it should be so.
