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.

A delicious dish for a festive feast. Chicken stuffed with spicy pumpkin with raisins and garlic-orange flavor. Chicken meat turns out to be very soft, juicy and tender. Cooking such a chicken is not troublesome, a food processor will cope very quickly with the preparatory work (cooking fragrant oil and slicing vegetables for minced meat). The chicken itself is baked in the sleeve. It remains only to wait for the end of cooking, and serve the ruddy chicken with a spicy side dish.
During the New Year and Christmas holidays, there can be no ordinary dinner! It should be festive, delicious and fervent! This dish is suitable for all these dishes. Cheese with butter makes the chicken juicy inside, stretches pleasantly when sliced or broken. When baking, the presence of cheese under the skin gives a ruddy crispy crust and peels it off. Vegetables are soaked with all the juices… And flavors: garlic, pepper, thyme. What am I telling you? Try this! Urgently!

The simplest dish that quickly gets excellent results. Poultry liver stewed with onions, carrots, green peas, cumin and chili pepper. I like to eat liver with buckwheat porridge. Prepare a side dish for any liver, your favorite. Of course, this dish is for liver lovers, which I am!
If you are tired of meat dishes for the holidays, I suggest you cook a light and delicious dish – corn fritters and serve them with a salad of Peking cabbage with avocado.
