Making a festive New Year’s menu is not an easy task, sometimes even for an experienced cook. So many delicious salads, unusual snacks, impressive desserts and spectacular hot dishes! It seems that it is simply impossible to cook them all. But it’s worth trying, the main thing is to approach the issue thoroughly!
In almost all families, a lot of attention is paid to the preparation of festive dishes for the New Year and Christmas feast. Chefs want to show all their skills and serve the best treats to the festive table.
Recipes for the New Year and Christmas table differ from each other. By the New Year’s Eve, you need to flaunt all your culinary talents and surprise guests with fancy and incredibly delicious treats. Aspic with beautifully carved vegetables, French-style meat, homemade pates, delicious snacks of vegetables, meat and fish, salads with products that seem completely incongruous at first glance – preparing a New Year’s table is a great opportunity to show imagination in the culinary field.
It is customary to prepare lean dishes and lemonades for the supper on Christmas Eve. Vegetable broth, buckwheat porridge with mushrooms, cabbage pies, fish dishes, stuffed cabbage rolls with rice filling and many other goodies can be created in any cook’s own kitchen. Be sure to give your household a traditional lemonade (compote made from a mixture of dried fruits and berries) according to old recipes.
How to Make a Homemade New Year’s Menu?
According to experienced chefs, there will be enough for 6-7 guests: 1-2 hot dishes, side dishes, 3-4 types of salads, several types of snacks, hot and cold, dessert and fruit. This average menu can be varied depending on the circumstances, for example, if there are children among the guests.
One of the secrets of a successful New Year’s menu is to cook several new dishes every year. At the same time, you should decide what you would like to make the main bet on: someone prefers to invest time and effort in preparing a complex hot dish, and someone – in a variety of snacks. If, instead of traditional olives and caviar sandwiches, you offer your guests glazed duck with grapes on skewers, your guests will remember for a long time how refined and unusual your festive treat was.
But in fact, there is nothing wrong with having only traditional dishes on the New Year’s menu, without frills.
Stuffed eggs do not happen a lot! The New Year is coming soon, and what New Year without a “Herring under a fur coat”? I offer you a recipe based on “herring under a fur coat” with a very soft filling, but you don’t have to mess with herring!
I suggest you cook a very tasty stuffed carp. Crucians are very useful for humans, as they contain easily digestible protein. Freshwater fish proteins are not only useful, but also unique, they contain amino acids that are necessary for the human body. The beneficial properties of carp are due to the content of a large amount of calcium, it helps to strengthen teeth, nails and bones. The caloric content of carp is quite low, so when you lose weight, you can safely add it to the diet. The only drawback of carp is the smell peculiar to river fish, but thanks to spices and marinade we get rid of it.
Stuffed eggs on the festive table have always been one of the popular snacks. You can experiment endlessly with fillings for them, which I tried to do) Two mousses of pale green and pink, it seems to me, harmoniously merged in color and taste. I suggest you try it!
Such an unusual mixture for the filling, but unexpectedly it turned out very tasty. You can cook for any occasion. It will look very nice on the table.
I suggest a light snack – egg white stuffed with egg yolk with avocado, tomatoes and spices. The snack is good with chips, with black bread. Experiment and enjoy!!!
Today I want to introduce you to a snack that instantly disappears from the table when I have guests. The aroma of dried mushrooms leaves no one indifferent. If you have a handful of dried mushrooms left after the fall, prepare this snack, you will not regret it! It is very easy to cook, and the result is always pleasing. There are a lot of egg casserole recipes on the website, but I haven’t found them yet.
