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.

In this version of cooking beef, eggplants are turned into a sauce during the stewing process. The dish turns out to have a rich taste, fragrant and satisfying. You can serve it without any side dish, just under the sauce in which the meat was cooked. But the side dish will not be superfluous. For stewing, I chose beef brisket, each about 500-600 grams. bones, veins and fat segments were allowed to broth for soup, leaving only the pulp for stewing. Previously marinated in wine, the meat received an additional taste and became softer.
Very tasty, light and tender hot snack. Unusual fish with homemade mayonnaise without eggs, well in harmony with cauliflower. the milky taste of mayonnaise made from milk and butter will be a good substitute for store-bought high-calorie mayonnaise. The dish turns out appetizing, bright. You can serve it to the festive table.
Italian cannelloni has long attracted catalan housewives. on december 26, the day of sant esteve, they are prepared in almost every house in catalonia. according to legend, the basis for the filling was the remains of the roast from the christmas meal. Since then, the recipe has undergone some changes, except for one: the meat is still cooked first and only then scrolled in a meat grinder. Due to this (and not only), the filling turns out very tender, literally melts in the mouth. I offer my own version of this delicious dish.
A delicious hot dish will be appropriate both on a festive table and on a weekday! Portioned serving is a great option for the New Year’s table! Simple and delicious!
Chicken thighs and shins are so versatile that they are ideal for a New Year’s holiday. I suggest baking chicken thighs with a mustard crust. it turns out very tasty!
