To treat guests tinned raznosolami on New Year's Eve is extremely not desirable. Indulge better good-natured goat with fresh products.
Snacks
The first dishes of the festive table are, of course, a variety of snacks - from vegetable, meat or fish cuts to sandwiches. But for the solemn meeting of the New Year, you can think of something more unusual. We suggest adding a couple of recipes to your culinary treasury:
"Stuffed apples". Treat Goat with an original snack in the form of apples stuffed with poultry meat. For its preparation, take five well-washed green apples, preferably large ones. Cut off the top( cover) from them and carefully remove the middle with a knife. Chop the pulp. Then, with two tablespoons of lemon juice, sprinkle the crushed pulp and apples from the inside so that they do not darken from oxidation. Cut finely 200 grams of poultry meat, one onion and fry everything in vegetable oil until almost ready. Then add the crushed pieces of apples and 50 ml of cognac. Add the salt with pepper to taste and stew the stuffing for about two to three minutes. Finished stuffing stuffed previously prepared apples, cover them with cut tops, put them on a baking tray. Bake in the oven for fifteen minutes at 180 ° C.Serve on the table in a refrigerated state. Eggplant rolls
Eggplant rolls with cheese stuffing. Wash a couple of small eggplants. Remove from them the pedicels and cut into thin plates about two millimeters thick. Put the resulting plates in a bowl, sprinkle a little salt and leave in this form for about ten minutes. Over the specified time the aubergines will release bitter juice. After ten minutes, pour half a cup of water into the bowl to rinse the plates to get rid of bitterness and excess salt. Drain the water, press the plates lightly. In a bowl with aubergines pour a little refined vegetable oil( slightly more than two tablespoons).Fry eggplant plates on both sides without oil on a preheated frying pan and then cool them under the lid or under a plastic bag to make them soft. While the eggplants are cooling, grate 50 grams of hard cheese and a hard-boiled egg on a fine grater, season with two spoonfuls of mayonnaise and chopped three cloves of garlic. Stir the mixture thoroughly, then portionwise( one teaspoonful), put it on the plates. Plate the plates carefully and roll them onto a dish, decorating with parsley and tomatoes.
Salads
The best option for the "green menu" on the festive table are salads made from fresh vegetables. A variety of tasty and beautifully decorated salads will allow you, along with guests, to receive gastronomic pleasure on New Year's Eve, and without gaining extra calories, which, in addition to the negative effect on health, still make the figures imperfect. So, we offer to prepare salads for the New Year's table:
For the next year Goats, prepare a simple and unpretentious salad of white cabbage under the merry name "Goat in the garden" seasoned with soy sauce, olive oil and for spicy crisps orcrackers.
