Second courses are the basis of every family’s diet. There are hundreds and thousands of such home cooking options in every kitchen in the world. Meat, vegetable, cereal and mixed with herbs and sauces, cooked from a steamer, oven, slow cooker, and just from the stove.
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. Here, each cook is already trying to show her culinary skills, choosing from the most delicious recipes of the main dishes what suits the tastes of the guests and the budget of the hosts.
Here you will find a rich selection of photo-recipes of main dishes – bean rolls with cheese, white fish meatballs, rabbit in orange marinade, pork stuffed with prunes, chicken with peaches and Scottish eggs. The main dishes prepared according to our recommendations will definitely become the star of the dinner party!
For a lean New Year’s treat, prepare a manta with mushroom filling. Dough with flour from durum wheat enriches the taste and makes the dish healthy and dietary. And the oil with herbs and garlic will give a delicious flavor. On fast days, you can use butter or sour cream for the sauce.
The simplest ingredients, but for everyday dishes their combination is perfect. What’s also good is that the products for such a casserole – and it turns out, in fact, it’s a casserole – are extremely affordable at any time of the year. The dominant taste here is steamed cabbage (white and cauliflower) and chicken meat. Potato shell is softened with sour cream, and rosemary gives piquancy.
Good afternoon, dear chefs!!! I offer a simple universal dish for both weekdays and holidays. The fish turns out to be very soft, tender and colorful. This dish will also decorate the festive table. Come in!
Dumplings with red fish and sauerkraut. Juicy, tender, hearty, very tasty. A family recipe that is very many years old. These dumplings for New Year and Christmas were prepared by my great-grandmother, great-grandmother-great-grandmother and mother. And I also follow the family tradition. On our New Year’s table, this dish always takes pride of place and enjoys constant popularity. Try this! I hope you will also like fish dumplings with sauerkraut.
The New Year’s table always pleases with its abundance of hot dishes, salads and pastries. I would like to treat you to a hearty and juicy pie! Yeast-free dough with a rich filling of canned pink salmon, potatoes and pickled zucchini! Enjoy your meal!
My family doesn’t really like the combination of chicken and citrus, but over time I found an option that suited everyone… The chicken turns out juicy, delicious, with a delicate aroma of orange and garlic and a sweet and salty crust…
Casserole with pasta, eggplant sauce, meatballs. Lasagna-based casserole. With pasta, meat meatballs and Hungarian saute with eggplant. We will please our guests, treat them to delicious and beautiful food.
Almost Julien, you might say. Only I added small pasta of hard varieties to the bottom of the coconut chips before laying out the components of Julienne. Also, instead of chicken meat, I used a ready-made turkey roll. A wonderful snack or just serve instead of hot on the New Year’s table at the very beginning of the festive dinner.
A very worthy festive dish that deserves attention. Fragrant spicy meat cooked according to this recipe turns out juicy and surprisingly tasty! Yes, and also – a cool side dish of hot potatoes from me as a gift, in just 10 minutes!
