Delicious recipes for second courses in a hurry or for a festive table are infinitely diverse. Simple recipes with photos will help even novice cooks in cooking.
The second course to the table is traditionally served after the soup – in other words, the main ones are the “second” dishes that are familiar to us, which are the central element of the meal. Most often, the main second course is prepared from meat, poultry, fish and seafood, to which cooked or raw vegetables, legumes, cereals, pasta and mushrooms are necessarily served as a side dish.
Fish or meat main dishes are the most satisfying, nutritious and large in volume. For every day, modern chefs, as a rule, serve simple main dishes that are easy to prepare. Cutlets, meatballs, schnitzels, sausages, cabbage rolls, fried fish or fish in batter, which do not require much time for heat treatment and serving. On the occasion of the solemn events, a festive main dish is being prepared, which should surprise the guests and become the culmination of the banquet.

A dish of Belarusian cuisine, which has many variations. I met this recipe a long time ago, even in some printed publication. I have cooked such magicians many times, and it always turns out delicious. I am happy to share this recipe with you.
Meat according to this recipe turns out to be completely different, not the way we imagine it when we talk about chicken breast. Juicy, elastic, slightly spicy, nothing superfluous, solid minimalism. In addition to the above advantages, this is just a super quick recipe and a real lifesaver: when you don’t want to cook, when there is no time, and even it will be appropriate if you suddenly have guests. Try it, I am sure that the result will please you.
Reinterpretation (or rather, the Italian version) of the familiar pasta with cheese. To cook this simple and delicious dish, you will need only three ingredients and 20 minutes of time.
If you are a little tired of boiled eggs during Easter week, I suggest you cook a trout casserole with eggs. This casserole is good both warm and cold, but we liked it cold more.
Here is such a pide prepared in our Turkish hotel. This tortilla with meat was served for lunch and dinner, with soup, meat, salad, and the children ate just like that. I liked this dish so much that I asked for a recipe and even attended a personal master class with the chef of our hotel. This is a real recipe for Turkish pide – thin crispy dough, spicy, juicy, meat filling, without cheese, eggs and milk – this is not pizza!
For your consideration, I present a recipe for universal cutlets. Thanks to the addition of corn groats to them, you can prepare a side dish that is quite satisfying and not too heavy for the stomach. They are convenient to take as a snack to work – in cold form they do not lose their taste qualities. Together with fresh vegetables, they fly away with a shout of “hurrah!”. My daughter appreciated them, although it is not easy to please children’s tastes.
