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.
Under such an original name, I saw this snack on the Internet. It’s even strange: why do men need such privileges? I think women will like this dish too. As always, I made adjustments to my taste. And now I’m offering it to you. I hope this dish will decorate your New Year’s table. The dish can be served as a hot appetizer or as a second course. It won’t lose its flavor when it cools down.
Your guests are unlikely to be able to guess the composition of the filling, it will be a surprise for them. You won’t surprise anyone with a liver pie, but you can still dream up with the filling. The idea of the filling was born from a friend who brought my favorite pineapple from Thailand. On any of my festive table there are always dishes with pineapple. I decided to cook something new. It turned out very tender and juicy.
Of course, it’s very high in calories, but what a magical taste these bars have! But you can’t always deny yourself and your loved one such things! You can, sometimes you can, but little by little! A delicate sandy base with cinnamon and vanilla flavor, pink crunchy nuts and two types of delicate chocolate! If you bake them for a sweet gift, don’t try it! They are so delicious that you may not want to share them.
I propose to cook a delicate cheese-curd mousse. Put the spinach on one part, the peas and zucchini on the other and pour it all over the baked pepper jelly. This snack will look good on the festive table.
Pork roll with cranberry sauce is a great meat dish for a holiday. Cranberry sauce gives a special piquant taste. You can serve the roll both hot and cold.
Stuffed eggs, in my opinion, are one of the simplest and fastest snacks that exist. You can fill the halves with various pate, salad or mousse. The advantage of this snack is that the portion is portioned and at the same time small. This filling was prepared for the first time, my husband and I really liked it. It turned out to be tender and satisfying!
My friends, do not rush to pass by this recipe. In my opinion, you will definitely like the dish. Delicious and simple at home, it will gather your family and friends at a family or holiday table.
Juicy, fragrant, soft meat, cut into portions and baked in the oven! I doubted until the last, but after cooking I was convinced – it’s true! By the way, the side dish to match the meat is very tasty!
Agree, many people associate Julien with a celebration, with a holiday. A cocotte in paper shoes! With heat, with heat! And no fashion has power over it! In classic julienne, the main ingredients are mushrooms, onions, cream or sour cream and A LOT of cheese crust after baking. The rest is our fantasy.
