Every housewife “racks her brains” over what to cook for New Year 2018 and looking extraordinary recipes with a photo, so we decided to prepare an article that will help create an appetizing and original New Year's menu.

Efforts must be made to ensure that no one is left hungry, so that everyone present can taste their favorite dish.

Mandatory foods on the table in the year of the yellow earthen dog

1. Beef, veal, lamb or rabbit should be included first when compiling your grocery list. It is recommended not to fry the meat, but to boil or bake it. In this form, the meat will be easier to digest, then everyone will feel light and active, which is what is needed. But the choice, of course, is yours! :)
2. Poultry meat can also be present in holiday dishes. You can use not only chicken, but also goose, turkey, duck and other types of birds.
3. Fish, seafood and mushrooms can diversify the abundance of meat.
4. The year 2018 is the year under the rule of the yellow dog, so take into account dishes that include vegetables, fruits, legumes and grains of brown or yellow color. You can use potatoes, pumpkin, peppers, yellow tomatoes, corn, beets, pineapples and other ingredients.

You can also serve aspic, pork knuckle, boiled pork, grilled steaks, chops, cutlets, kebabs, jellied meat, baked duck, grilled chicken, pates, juliennes and much more. Salads based on boiled meat can diversify the menu. Any cuts of meat would also be appropriate, which could include any sausage, balyk, ham, jamon, basturma, dried chicken, etc. Each ingredient must be thinly sliced ​​so that the slices can be formed into a voluminous composition. It would also be useful classic sandwiches with red caviar or salted red fish. Pickled mushrooms, olives, etc. can complement the gastronomic variety.

The New Year 2018 will undoubtedly be remembered by the representatives of the stronger half who love meat dishes. But even for fragile girls there are many interesting recipes that will not affect their figure.

What should not be present on the holiday table

The future housewife of the year will not appreciate fish dishes that contain a lot small seeds, therefore, it is worth excluding pike, carp and other river fish from the holiday menu. The animal will also not like the “herring under a fur coat”, beloved by many. When preparing cold cuts, make sure that they do not contain horse sausage. It is known that dogs do not like to eat these animals. For admirers Korean cuisine worth giving up exotic dishes and do not prepare food from dog meat. If you believe Feng Shui experts, you should remove broken noodles from the menu, since it turns out that their length affects longevity. You should not tease your dog with fast food dishes (hot dogs, burgers).

It is not advisable to serve overly carbonated drinks - kvass, lemonade, beer. An earthy dog ​​will not be delighted with strong drinks.

So, as cold appetizers you can serve “Christmas balls”, small sandwiches with boiled pork and cucumbers, meat rolls with cheese, eggs stuffed with red caviar, profiteroles with crab, mushroom or cheese filling, meat fingers with lard or cheese, boiled pork, etc.

Therefore, you can “roam” here :) You can bake cookies and cakes yourself or order a small one, decorated in accordance with the main symbol of the year. Don't forget to use jellies and creams to complement desserts. Decorate finished products with fruits and nuts.

You can serve vegetables and fruits on the table in any quantity and in any form. An earth dog willingly eats vegetables and will not refuse to enjoy fruits.

Chicken breast salad

Chicken salad recipe

First of all, soak the raisins in rum. If you don’t have it, then cognac or brandy will do just fine. Also no? Well then, let there be water. Place the salad mix on a large flat plate. Today I had regular lettuce leaves and arugula on hand (I love it). Chop the onion into thin half rings (I have half a rather small head) and place it on the salad mix. Next come the grapes. It should be of the sweet variety. If the grapes are large and contain seeds, cut each berry into 2 halves and remove the seeds.

I always make this salad if I previously had oven-baked chicken on the menu. Our family is not the most ardent fan of breast, so it always remains partially and its direct path is in salads. Cut the breast into small pieces and distribute over the salad.

On top - raisins. Dressing - just mix vinegar, oil, a pinch of salt and sugar with a fork. If you don’t have fresh tarragon, use dry tarragon like I did this time (you need a couple of pinches). Is there none? Well, we’ll get by, although he’s very much on topic there! About the Provence spice mixture. I have tried a lot in my time and have definitely settled on one company. For a light aroma you literally need 3 turns of the mill.

Drizzle dressing over salad. Bon appetit!

Feta cheese appetizer “Snowballs”

How to make a feta cheese appetizer

Peel and press the garlic. Place the cheese in a bowl, add a tablespoon of fresh oregano leaves (chop if large), a tablespoon of thyme leaves, garlic and mix well with a fork. This time I didn’t have fresh thyme, I used dry thyme and not a tablespoon, but a teaspoon. Of course, you can mix it in a blender, but then the consistency of the cheese will slightly liquefy and the “snowballs” will blur a little. But, if you put everything in the refrigerator, after a while the cheese mixture will thicken again. Next is basil. I suggest taking a mortar and grinding it thoroughly. If you don’t have a mortar, then use a blender again: pour oil into it, add basil and mix until smooth.

Place the basil along with the resulting juice in a bowl, add olive oil and mix. Of course, if you don’t like or don’t have olive oil, you can totally use vegetable oil. In a plate, mix crackers (they should be white) and grated cheese. With wet hands, form small balls from the cheese mixture and roll them. We take a plate in which we will serve the appetizer and pour our aromatic oil into it through a strainer. I don't always remove the basil. I'm quite comfortable with him too. Serve with sliced ​​baguette, for example. You can dry it a little in a frying pan or oven, or you can just fresh it, with a delicious crispy crust.

Hot:

Fish baked with sauce

Preparation:

Place the fish in a baking dish. Spray the fish from all sides lemon juice(this is done not only to add flavor, but also to make the fish less boiled). Salt and pepper. Next, let's make the sauce. In a separate bowl, melt the butter and fry the flour in it until golden color. Stirring continuously, pour in a glass of cream or milk. Add mustard, nutmeg, pepper, salt and finely chopped parsley. Stir everything continuously and bring to a boil (but do not boil).

The sauce should thicken. Pour the sauce over the fish, add pieces of butter on top of each and place in the oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes. It is very important not to overcook the fish, otherwise it will turn out boiled and fall apart. 5. We take out the fish baked in the sauce, everything is ready. Before serving, you can garnish with lemon and tomato slices.

Dessert:

Chocolate truffles

Preparation:

In a small saucepan, combine cream, cinnamon and chili powder. Bring to a boil while heating over low heat and stirring. Add chocolate, broken into small pieces, and butter. Remove from heat and stir until all ingredients are combined into a homogeneous mass. If the mixture cools too quickly and the butter and chocolate do not have time to melt (for example, if you forgot to take the butter out of the refrigerator first to soften it), gently heat the entire mixture over water bath. Then add cognac and stir until smooth. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the mixture is completely cool and firm.

Place cocoa powder in a small bowl. Using a ball scoop or a simple small spoon, “scoop” the frozen chocolate mixture and roll it into a ball. Truffles don't have to be perfectly round. The less perfect their shape, the more they justify their name, because truffle mushrooms are precisely irregular in shape. Dip the truffles in cocoa powder and place on a plate or in a special paper mold. Serve immediately or refrigerate in a tightly sealed container. You may need to recoat truffles that have been stored in the refrigerator in cocoa.

Action plan:

A week before the holiday

Chocolate truffles can be made a week before the holiday, or a month before. IN finished form they will wait their time in the freezer. So, in the pre-New Year bustle, we simply choose a day when it would be nice to cheer up by working with sweet chocolate mass and start making sweets.

We will need it for the salad. In the evening we bake the fish; on a holiday we will only need to heat it up, and transfer the truffles from the freezer to the refrigerator. We also prepare the cheese appetizer sauce in advance, which we store in the refrigerator for up to an hour.

In my oven, it took me 50 minutes of baking in foil, and then another 20 minutes with open foil. I checked the degree of readiness with a long sharp knife: I pierced the pork in the thickest place. When the juice flowing from the puncture site turned from red-pink to transparent, the pork, baked in a piece, was cooked.

Cut the champignons into thin slices.

Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the spinach in it for two minutes.

Add the mushrooms and cook until the moisture has completely evaporated. Salt and pepper to taste. Cool completely.

Grind cottage cheese with horseradish and sour cream. Carefully separate the baked dough layer by layer (it crumbles, but that’s not a big deal). You should get 4 layers. Moreover, the convex upper layer will be the base, and the lower flat one will be the top.

Lubricate the bottom layer with half curd filling, lay out thin slices of smoked salmon.

Cover with a second layer. Place spinach and champignons on top. On top is the third layer and again a layer of curd cheese (put 2 tablespoons aside) and salmon. Cover with the remaining dough.

Wrap the resulting “cake” tightly in film and put it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Then unwrap it, grease it with the remaining cheese and horseradish, sprinkle almond petals and cut into 4 cakes with a very sharp knife.

Salad with bell pepper, cucumber and cheese

Wash the lettuce leaves, dry them and tear them with your hands. We cut everything else: cucumbers, cheese, peppers into thin, short strips. bell pepper I like the green one in this salad. Its bitterness harmonizes perfectly with the cheese. We cut the onion into thin half rings. Hard cheese does not particularly want to be cut into strips, this is possible, but not essential).

Next we make the salad dressing. To do this, mix and beat the juice, vinegar, vegetable or olive oil, sugar and salt until the consistency of the emulsion. Season the salad, sprinkle lightly with pepper (to taste) and serve immediately.

Puff pastry roll with turkey

Wash spinach or chard leaves and blanch for a couple of minutes in boiling water. Remove and place on a towel to blot off excess water.

Mix ground turkey with two raw eggs, ground breadcrumbs (I never use ready-made breadcrumbs, I always grind dry bread myself in a blender), mustard, salt and pepper well. In principle, you can add a little finely chopped and fried onion to the minced meat if you want. Mix the minced meat thoroughly.

Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and place a layer of ready-made, defrosted puff pastry. I usually transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator in the evening and in the morning the dough is ready to use.
Place the minced meat on the dough in an even layer, stepping back one centimeter from the edge. Place a layer of blanched spinach leaves (if using) and 4 hard-boiled, peeled eggs on top of the minced meat.

Talk one out raw yolk with one tablespoon of cream. Use a brush to brush the edges of the dough and roll it up. Pinch tightly and turn seam side down.

Recipe for roasted meat in pieces

Dessert:

Ice cream cake

Preparation:

First, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it melt at room temperature. You want it to be at least soft.

Meanwhile, grind the cookies into fine crumbs. All methods are good here. You can put it in a bag and roll it several times with a rolling pin. Or just grind it in a blender. Add butter. Then combine all this with condensed milk. You should end up with a soft sticky mass that can easily take any shape.

And we begin to spread this mass into a mold covered with cling film. The edges of the film must hang down.

Try to spread the layer of cookies evenly; to do this, use a smaller pan. “Tamp down” the cookies as much as possible. Next, simply whip the cream according to the instructions on the package and combine it with the melted ice cream. Also add to ice cream chocolate syrup and mix everything again. Now you can safely pour the sweet mass into the bowl. Cover it with the hanging ends and place it in freezer for the night. In the morning, carefully pull the ends of the film and turn the cake over onto a plate, then remove the film. Decorate as desired fresh berries or nuts.

We checked - everything is crossed out - you can relax your spine and not think until tomorrow.

The first day.

1. Purchase of products.

2. Stuffing food around the refrigerator

3. Dough and green beans in the freezer, the rest in the refrigerator

4. Peel the garlic (all). Use some for boiled pork, the rest goes into the refrigerator.

5. Marinate the boiled pork. Stuff a piece of pork with garlic, making punctures with a small knife and inserting garlic cloves into these punctures. One head of garlic should be enough.

If there is no parchment, grease several A4 sheets with vegetable oil and wrap the fish in this greasy paper. Leave for a couple of hours at room temperature, then put in the refrigerator.

8. Sort the liver. Watch carefully to make sure there is no bile. If you come across such a piece, it is better to cut it off or immediately throw it away from the chicken liver. Rinse the liver well, cut into smaller pieces (if beef or pork). Place in a bowl, cover with film, make a couple of holes in the film and put in the refrigerator.

6. Prepare roulade for cold cuts. We cut the chicken along the back, you can cut out the spine. Unfold skin side down. Remove the bones. We trim the wings and cut off the bone from the leg. We also cut the legs. There should be a layer chicken meat on the skin. If you damage the skin somewhere when removing bones, it’s not at all scary. Beat the meat a little and add salt. Separately, stir 5-6 eggs with a fork and fry a thin omelette in a wide frying pan. Transfer the omelette to a layer of chicken meat and roll it up. Wrap the roll in two layers of cloth or gauze. Sew or tie. Place the wrapped roll in a saucepan. Fill with water so that the water covers the roll by 2-3 centimeters. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to very low. Cook for an hour and a half.

2. Place the bird on a baking sheet

3. Place potatoes in wedges on a baking sheet

4. Get the apples (they are already washed and dry)

5. Place the bird and potatoes in the oven

10. Potatoes are cooked for an hour, maximum - one and a half. The chicken takes an hour and a half to cook. Duck and goose - a little more. But not so much that your guests faint with hunger))

11. That's it. Let's relax and have fun.
