Hot dishes

But should I advise you to cook it for a hot meal? We always ask ourselves this question, because all the dishes are already so hackneyed and we cook them so often that it seems like we can’t call them festive. In our family, for example, we used to prepare as many as two hot dishes, and of course, all this was left in large quantities and sometimes we didn’t even get around to the hot one... It happens, but how delicious it is the next day, January 1... You open the refrigerator... and there... . everything is visible and invisible...

My friends, I urge everyone not to cook too much so that later you get a headache - where to put everything, because all the snacks and salads are presented in beautiful plates and vases - and as always, there is not enough space in the refrigerator for this. Therefore, be sure to think through everything to the smallest detail and, of course, about what we will cook for the main course and how we will surprise our household members or guests.

Cook: duck, goose or turkey - it’s a simple task and of course it’s always tasty and satisfying. But it seems like the bird can be cooked for Christmas... many will say... Therefore, I try not to consider this option right away, leaving it for last, but I will bring to your attention all the best that I have on my site! And now, my dears, let's start with the second courses!

And for some reason I immediately want to suggest that you definitely prepare it for the festive New Year’s table... so that you can think about it? JOLODETS is a traditional dish, popular for some reason in the winter season! Although this is not a hot dish, it can deservedly take its place among meat dishes, even if this applies to jellied, cold dishes. In our family, for example, not a single New Year is complete without jellied meat. And so... jellied pork and beef manti, khinkali or. Here we can say with certainty that if suddenly, as we said, “you don’t get around to” the second course, it can always be prepared the next day and served piping hot. Therefore, I would even really consider this option. Almost always, every year, for main course - .

We always cook a lot of them, we cook 30-50 of them at once, and then we just overeat... There’s simply no other way around here... We have to eat, because the aroma is so pervasive throughout the apartment that it’s impossible to resist.

You can also cook not quite ordinary

You can also do and. They will definitely become a decoration for your New Year's table. They are easy to prepare and eaten instantly.

Meat in French

If you want to cook delicious meat, there are several options. It can always be done. It doesn't matter what you use, beef, pork, lamb or even poultry. There is both meat and a side dish here. This option can also be considered as an excellent and win-win option for the holiday table. And it looks very tasty!

Meat under pineapples

An excellent recipe for serving on the New Year's table would be. This dish will surely amaze all your guests, because tender pork that melts in your mouth, and even with exotic pineapple, is very tasty. Sometimes I pamper my family and make this sweet meat for dinner or a holiday table. It always sells well and even some people ask for more. It seems to me that many housewives will want to cook this meat as a hot dish for the New Year’s table.

Meat “Presidential style”

This has long been a favorite in our family, which is prepared instantly and also eaten instantly. After all, it just melts in your mouth.

It has long occupied its rightful place among the hot blds that we prepare for the holidays. So why not cook it on New Year's Eve for the festive table. You can serve this meat with either boiled round potatoes or tender homemade mashed potatoes. This is the best combination in my opinion. If you are watching your figure, eat cooked meat with fresh vegetables and herbs.

But if you cook it as a main dish this New Year, memories will surely come flooding back to you, because 15-20 years ago, almost every family prepared this dish for every holiday and, of course, on New Year’s Eve! My mother always had a big one, about 3-4 liters, and everything languished in it. And then the portioned pots, which we served to each guest, became more popular. Wow, how I remembered them... I really wanted to cook this dish right away. I think if you decide to make it, it is prepared with potatoes like “French potatoes.” A very similar recipe, but we pre-marinate the goose meat with an exotic fruit - orange. And then bake it under a potato coat. And so, my dears, think, choose what you like best. But this gosling is simply gorgeous!

This one will also captivate the lover of this bird. After all, the meat here turns out simply stunning, tender, soft, simply gorgeous.

If you are a fan of the simplest chicken and cook it often, you can diversify your usual recipe by preparing. This is a bomb!!! No simply baked chicken in the oven can compare with this stuffed with thin pancakes stuffed with minced chicken. Then everything is baked in the oven to such a beautiful state and served hot or chilled to the table. It’s impossible to keep your guests away!

As a last resort, simply prepare it. This also turns out tasty, satisfying and budget-friendly given our difficult times. And for more convenient cooking of chicken, you can use a baking bag (bag). It's simple and your oven will always be clean.

Fish with cheese

Another piece of advice I can give you is, of course, you can cook excellent fish for the main course. For example, bake salmon or trout steaks (in general, any delicious red fish of the salmon family) in the oven, grill or steam it. This way the fish will also be stunning and melt in your mouth.

Let's look at this option - . Red fish in this version turns out very tasty, because it is cooked with vegetables (tomatoes) and baked with cheese on top. As a side dish for this fish, I can suggest preparing mushroom julienne. It will be very tasty and unusual.

Shashlik

Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to cook something delicious on New Year's Eve, but perhaps you decide to make mini kebabs on skewers and cook them in the oven. For example, it turns out very tasty when cooked in the oven with the addition of small cherry tomatoes. Or maybe you want to cook pork shish kebab on a gas grill pan you already use at home. It turns out very tasty and is almost no different from what is prepared in nature. Another tasty and not quite ordinary recipe, in this version they are good both from the grill and cooked in the oven. It doesn’t matter how you prepare your kebab, it may not even be meat, but delicious, cooked on the grill or baked in a grill pan or again in the oven, the main thing here is to marinate them first in mayonnaise or vinegar with the addition of a large amount of onions.

Kebabs in a jar

You can also . This is a fairly simple and very tasty recipe that blew us all away. I assure you that the jars of kebabs took longer to cook and were eaten instantly.

What else would I like to say, of course, it’s very difficult to immediately pick and choose the most delicious recipes for the festive table, especially since we are going to celebrate the New Year 2019. It is already on the threshold - there is very little time left and I think that my advice will somehow help you and you will definitely set the most delicious table in the New Year for your most beloved and dear people. And they will definitely appreciate your efforts and will most likely ask for recipes for the prepared dishes.

My dear friends and guests of the site, I sincerely congratulate everyone on the upcoming 2019, the year of the Yellow Earthen Pig! I wish you the best health, love, happiness, family well-being, never lose heart and try to please your loved ones more often with various delicious preparations!

Mushrooms fried in sour cream, delicious fish and meat dishes, casseroles, kulebyaki, snack pies... It was Russian cuisine that was traditionally distinguished by their abundance and diversity. Usually, all kinds of puff salads traditionally serve as appetizers as a “prelude” before serving the main course, and hot appetizers fade a little into the background. Meanwhile, hot snacks for the New Year, selected and prepared in an interesting way, can be a pleasant addition to the festive abundance. They are filling, high in calories, very tasty and good because they can replace the main course of the New Year's table. In fact, almost any dish can be a hot appetizer; the collection of culinary delights is replenished from year to year. Boiled, fried or baked vegetables, hot sandwiches, sandwiches and toast, fish or poultry cooked in batter, croutons and juliennes - each of these treats can serve as an excellent start to the main New Year's meal.

Hot snacks for the New Year are usually served in small quantities and without a side dish, but often with sauce. At the same time, these treats can be placed on the table in the same container in which they were prepared. However, remember that the main goal of these dishes is not to quench your appetite, but to awaken it, which is why snacks usually have a rather spicy taste and an abundance of spices and herbs. Be sure to serve hot appetizers before they begin to cool so that their taste is not lost. Use nuts, olives, slices of boiled and fresh vegetables, and herbs to decorate prepared dishes. The hot snacks for the New Year offered by our website will help all your loved ones and guests visit the world of New Year's culinary fantasies and make your feast unforgettably delicious.

New Year celebrations in our country are always celebrated on a grand scale. It just so happened that on this day the tables are simply bursting with all sorts of treats and goodies. The festivities continue until the morning, so there should be enough treats for the entire holiday. As a rule, the New Year's table differs from the usual holiday table in a wider variety of dishes, various snacks, as well as decoration of the table itself. In this article we will tell you about all the features of the festive New Year's table, and also provide some amazing recipes for salads, appetizers and hot dishes for your New Year's table.

New Year's table - features

New Year is a special holiday. And we also celebrate it in a special way: the house is decorated, each family member puts on a beautiful outfit, and of course, a festive table is served. The New Year's banquet usually consists of many different dishes. This must include:

slicing;
snacks;
salads;
meat and fish hot dishes;
Dessert;
beverages.

The housewife decides what dish to prepare for the New Year.

Depending on the symbol of the New Year, this or that dish may be present in abundance on the table, or, on the contrary, absent altogether.

For example, in the Year of the Pig, many people exclude pork from the New Year's menu so as not to offend the symbol of the year. However, not everyone does this. It all depends on whether people believe in omens or not.

It is important that the New Year's menu is not only tasty, but also balanced. Therefore, when you have heavy meat dishes, always pair it with sliced fresh vegetables.

Don't forget about table setting! On New Year's Eve everything should be beautiful and festive. Fresh fruits and vegetables will help decorate the table. You can install beautiful candlesticks, be sure to add napkins and don’t forget about an elegant tablecloth.

Well, now let's move directly to the New Year's menu. Next, we will present the most delicious recipes for New Year's appetizers, salads and main dishes. All of these dishes are very easy to prepare. And they taste simply incredible!
