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.

We happened to live on Sakhalin Island, where in the distant 90s I got acquainted with spicy dishes. And yet – when I first had a chance to try fish dumplings with freshly caught chum salmon or pink salmon, there was nothing wrong with the fish. Today I want to treat you and share a recipe.
Dumplings with potatoes are one of the most famous dishes of Slavic cuisine. Simple and affordable ingredients make a very tasty dish. The dough with the addition of boiling water turns out to be soft, elastic and does not boil during cooking. It is also ideal for making dumplings. The filling for dumplings can be very diverse: cheese, cherries, cabbage, mushrooms, etc. I also suggest cooking a delicious and much-loved filling of potatoes and onions.
A fragrant, hearty and delicious hot dish for family and guests. Pre-pickled chicken drumsticks and a spicy vegetable side dish are baked in the same container in the oven, which is very convenient and not laborious.
I am a big fan of stuffed peppers, I tried many different recipes from the Internet, but they all lacked depth of taste and juiciness (not to say that they are sour, salty or sweet, rather saturated), so I spent years trying to verify my own recipe to the smallest detail. None of those who tried these peppers remained indifferent. Try it yourself, and I assure you, you will never cook pepper in the same way again. In addition, there is nothing harmful or fried in these peppers.
A very tasty and satisfying dish. These cannelloni are cooked with minced meat and Peking cabbage, baked in a fragrant sauce under a cheese “cap”. A kind of “elite” pasta in the Navy.
Well, who hasn’t tried stuffed peppers yet? Yes, probably. But this dish can be cooked endlessly and always with different fillings. Here and now we will cook with a new, fragrant, very tasty filling.
It’s very tasty and every time in a new way. After all, only by adding something else to the filling, we get a new taste, a new appearance. And you can immediately bake it with a side dish, isn’t that great?! To heal.
These simple baked vegetables will delight you with their taste, aroma and are cooked in a few minutes. It is not a shame to put this dish on the festive table by increasing the portion. Pickled cucumbers of delicacy cooking and Bulgarian lecho will be an excellent addition.
