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.

Chicken with rice is the most popular combination since ancient times… Chicken fillet can be used to prepare a variety of dishes, both for a festive table, and for a family lunch or dinner. Today there will be chicken “pockets” with mozzarella and spinach. A nice bonus to the “pockets” is fragrant rice with a wonderful lemon flavor and creamy color. A wonderful side dish for tender chicken fillet.
Meatballs can be prepared in advance, and before serving, pour the sauce and warm up in a preheated oven for 5-8 minutes. Very tasty sauce! It smells of orange, vanilla and nutmeg. I doubted whether it was worth adding vanilla, but I added it and did not lose. I didn’t boil the sauce, just brought it to a boil, and then poured it over the meatballs.
Very tasty, juicy and hearty meatballs with rice in tomato sauce. The fragrance spreads throughout the house. Favorite meatballs according to this recipe should be cooked in the oven. A great option for dinner or lunch for the whole family.
Delicious cold cuts. You can serve any side dish to it: buckwheat, potatoes, rice, pasta or vegetables, as in my case an omelet with vegetables. The number of ingredients is indicated depending on the size of the pan, they can be increased or decreased to your liking.
Georgian salad with nuts and Kakheti butter. Georgia’s favorite combination of juicy greens, ripe summer vegetables and chopped nuts, Svan salt and Kakheti oil. Nuts are mixed with butter and vegetable juice, resulting in a thick, enveloping nut dressing. This salad is a regular dish on our table and it just can’t get boring.
Meatballs are probably one of the favorite dishes of many cooks, there are an infinite number of recipes. They can be made from any kind of meat, fish and even seafood, and as many additives as you want… Today I have chicken meatballs with rice and cabbage-broccoli stewed in cream sauce. Meatballs are very tender, light and satisfying.
A cozy, homemade, hearty dish for the whole family! Perfect for lunch or dinner. Season the spaghetti with fried onion and garlic puree and add the fragrant chopped chicken liver! It’s amazing! To the table!
