An indispensable dish of the New Year's feast is apples. They can simply be beautifully placed in a vase along with other fruits. Or apples can be present in a variety of dishes.

What to cook for the New Year 2016 - apple liqueur

For example, as long as there is sufficient time for preparation, you can make a fragrant apple liqueur. To prepare it, you need to put two and a half kilograms of chopped apples in a large container, fill them with seven liters of water and one and a half liters of vodka. Cover the container filled in this way with gauze and place it on a sunny, bright side for two weeks.

The liqueur must be shaken daily! As soon as all the apples rise to the top, you need to strain the drink, add two kilograms of sugar to it and again put it in the sun for a couple of weeks. Moreover, it is not so much the sun that is important here, but a constant temperature. Therefore, liqueur can be made at home, maintaining a constant temperature for fermentation of the drink. You can place the container on a bright and warm windowsill. After this, the drink must be strained again, poured into bottles and kept in the cold for a week.

What to cook for the New Year 2016 - dessert

Then, cut side up, they need to be placed in a mold, into which you pour a small amount of water and leave in the oven for five minutes.

While the apples are simmering in the oven, you need to prepare the caramel. To do this, melt fifty grams of butter with two tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan. This mixture is heated for five minutes. At the same time, it needs to be stirred constantly. After the apples are ready, pour the prepared caramel on top. This simple but extremely tasty dessert is ready.

Finally more greenery– parsley, dill, basil, and cilantro will help make dishes beautiful, fresh and festive.

And, of course, you should refuse rabbit or hare meat - its presence on the table will be an exceptional disrespect for the patron of the New Year. However, all kinds of meat dishes are not entirely appropriate for this holiday, since the Rabbit is a peace-loving and kind animal. But the Rabbit will like fish in any form!

Thus, recipes 2016 based on exoticism and beauty. These can be all kinds of snacks and salads from various vegetables, fruits and herbs. Instead of a meat dish, cook poultry or juicy and aromatic fish, which will turn out to be a light and tasty treat.

And now the most important thing - hot dishes

No matter how chic and satisfying the snacks are, no one will refuse hot dishes at the New Year's table. The 2016 New Year's menu must include several types of hot dishes. Some people prefer fish, we can say for sure that everyone loves chicken, and this year we are offering lamb with bananas as an extravagant dish: as if saying goodbye to the Year of the Ram, we will simply eat it, and since the Fire Monkey is waiting for us, then let the meat and banana on the table blaze - turn off the light and watch how beautifully the fire burns on a plate with amazingly delicious food.

For this you will need two fish. You only need to remove the gills and entrails, let everything that is steel remain - the whole fish looks very beautiful. If you have many guests, then you can buy more trout; two fish of 500 g each is enough for only four people. It only takes 20 minutes to prepare, so this is the last dish to prepare.

Place the fish on a baking sheet, put a couple of sprigs of tarragon into each carcass and add salt. Grease a baking tray with a little sunflower or olive oil and place in the refrigerator. 20 minutes before serving, place the baking sheet in the oven - that’s all the work, and the fish is saturated with the aroma of greenery and turns out simply incredibly tasty.

Sometimes fans also call this dish “chicken in compote,” although the magnificent taste that lean chicken meat gets from dried apricots, prunes, and raisins cannot be compared with anything else. This is an exquisite dish for real gourmets, best served with rice.

You will need:

• chicken - 1 kg or one leg for each guest
• dried apricots, raisins, prunes - 100 g each
• salt, pepper, bay leaf

Preparation

Place chicken pieces on a baking sheet, pour water up to half of the meat, add all the dried fruits evenly so that they are spread over the entire area of ​​the baking sheet, put a couple of bay leaves, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in the oven. It will take 1 hour and 20 minutes to prepare the dish; after the water boils, you need to pour the broth over the chicken several times to form a crispy crust. Just during this time you will have time to prepare rice for a side dish. The chicken should be served hot.

And as the central dish of the New Year's feast - lamb with banana

You will need:

• lamb - 1 kg
• bananas
• Reviver

Preparation

Cut the lamb into portions of 100-150 g, fry thin slices of meat in a very hot frying pan in oil. Be careful, overcooked lamb loses its flavor and becomes simply tough and tasteless. Fry the bananas in a separate pan. Cut unripe bananas in half lengthwise and fry on both sides. Place the meat on a plate and garnish with fried bananas. Prepare 100 g of medical alcohol or any other strong drink (Calvados, whiskey, cognac - these liquids need to be heated before lighting).

As soon as the hot dish is brought into the living room, turn off the light, pour alcohol over your delicacy and set it on fire. We promise the most amazing effect - a flaming dish with aromatic lamb will delight your guests.

Sweet dishes for well-fed guests

After such a luxurious feast, no one will be able to think about cake or pastries, but a couple of hours before the New Year, maybe it’s worth serving the guests a bowl, let the satiated stomach calm down a little, especially since the bowl perfectly helps digestion.

You will need:

• 1 can of canned pineapple
• 1 bottle of dry white wine
• 1 bottle of champagne

Preparation

Finely chop the pineapples and place them in a beautiful crystal or glass bowl - a deep vase or a jug with a wide neck. Pour dry wine and let it brew (preferably in the refrigerator). Before serving, pour in a bottle of sweet champagne and immediately pour into glasses using a ladle. Give each guest a teaspoon to make it easier to catch pieces of pineapple.

And still a little dessert

Now it's time for something sweet. Each housewife saves her signature baking recipe for the New Year, but if you decide to make do with only sweet dishes this time, we suggest you make a dessert with canned fruits, nuts, rice and chocolate. In addition to all of the above, you will also need whipped cream.

All you have in the house for sweets is two marshmallows, a couple of marmalades, two or three chocolates, a piece of pineapple, a banana, two tablespoons of rice, some nuts (it seems that there is very little of everything, but as a result you will get a pretty good portion for each guest) place in a bowl and stir. Add whipped cream, you can use ready-made ones from cans, but still, homemade ones made from 35% liquid cream are much tastier. To really turn the cream into an exquisite dessert, you need to whip it cold and add one tablespoon of cognac.

Gently mix the whipped cream with the prepared mixture and place in the refrigerator. As a gravy for this magnificent dessert, you can use ready-made thick juices or cook light jelly - to your taste, but it’s still better if the jelly is made from sour berries, because the dessert itself is very sweet.

Dessert for a sweet tooth made from cottage cheese and bananas

Is it possible to imagine a dessert without bananas - the favorite delicacy of Monkeys? In combination with cottage cheese, chocolate and nuts, the result is simply a delicious dish; not a single guest will refuse such a dessert.

Banana cake or baked goods

You will need:

• gingerbread - 1 kg

Cut the gingerbread cookies in half, place in a deep bowl, use banana pieces as a layer. This way you can stack several layers.

Now close it with a lid or film and put it in the refrigerator for a day, just in time for the change of years, when the champagne corks fly off, your cake will decorate the New Year's table - you need to carefully turn it over onto a dish and decorate it with marzipan or mastic.

A hot drink for a cold evening at the Christmas tree

When choosing from all the drinks that will warm you up on a winter evening, pay attention to mulled wine, Moroccan tea or ginger tea - the drinks are prepared quickly, you will love it. Red wine with cinnamon suits the aroma of pine so well - minutes will fly by like seconds while you drink hot wine and wait for the chimes to strike.

There is no need to boil the wine - the aroma evaporates and the wine becomes less tasty. The main thing is that the honey dissolves in the drink.

For Moroccan tea All you need is a glass of ready-made green tea; the same aromatic cinnamon, cloves, a couple of mint leaves and citrus fruits - lemon, orange, lime - are added to the drink. For this drink, you also need to prepare sugar syrup - the preparation begins with it. In order for the mint to give out its aroma as much as possible, remember it a little in your fingers or squeeze it in the palm of your hand, then rub the inside of the glass with the leaf that gives out the aroma, put it on the bottom with pieces of citrus fruit, now pour the hot tea leaves over the sugar syrup and serve - the aroma of the drink will not leave you indifferent not a single guest.

This is the drink that will complete the journey after a hearty feast. After you've tasted everything your hostess has prepared for the New Year, Moroccan tea is the perfect finishing touch.
