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.

He came to me when the task was to feed three young “beauties”. With mine, no – he’s not picky, he eats almost everything. The second kid from a religious family, although he does not observe a “strict” fast, but parents are asked not to offer meat products at this time (at least they were warned in advance). With the third – much worse! In order for a child to normally eat something other than sweets, it is necessary: to dance a hopak in front of him, arrange a circus with clowns, can launch a rocket to the moon, and so on… And, of course, there must be the same dish on each plate, otherwise they will start fighting… In general, I had to dig in the refrigerator, bake a loaf and in the end it turned out this. The name was invented by his son: the color of mashed potatoes with sauce reminded him of the color of sand, and shrimp – lovers of beach holidays on deck chairs.
