In this section, we offer you new items and proven recipes for the New Year of the Pig.

Meat Dishes

In order not to offend the future patron, the menu of the 2019 New Year's table should not contain recipes where pork is present. Everything else is allowed, and in large quantities, since the Pig loves abundance and prosperity.

As a dessert, we suggest you prepare a delicate triangular cake with a chocolate flavor.

The alternation of white and brown stripes together with an unconventional shape gives the classic biscuit originality and festivity.

You will need:

• eggs - 3 pcs. x 2 cakes;
• sugar - 100 g x 2;
• flour - 55 g x 2;
• starch - 30 g x 2;
• vanilla sugar - 1 tsp x 2;
• salt - a pinch;
• dark chocolate - 50 g + 360 g;
• cocoa - 20 g;
• cream 33% - 280 ml;
• cream liqueur - 100 ml.

The components are indicated for one cake. The multiplication sign means that exactly the same amount will be needed for another cake.

Preparation

First, prepare a light cake. For this:

1. Beat the whites with salt.
2. Beat the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla separately.
3. Mix the whites very carefully with the yolks, sifted flour and starch.
4. We cover a baking sheet (about 19x29 cm) with low sides with parchment and grease with vegetable oil.
5. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees.
6. Pour the dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Getting started preparing a dark cake

1. Beat the eggs in the same sequence as when cooking the white crust. But in the whipped yolks (before mixing with all the ingredients), add 50 g of chocolate melted in a water bath.
2. Then we mix everything and bake in the same way as for the first cake.

Advice
When baking a biscuit, the oven must not be opened, otherwise the dough will "fall".

After the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, use your knife to run the sides of the baking sheet to separate the "sticky" dough and turn the baking sheet over onto a clean towel or cling film to remove the crust. Peel off the parchment immediately. Refrigerate.

Cooking ganache (ganage)

1. In a saucepan with a thick bottom, heat the cream and liquor until bubbles appear.
2. Separately break the chocolate into small pieces and mix with hot cream.
3. Beat the chocolate-creamy mass with a mixer until a smooth, lump-free structure is obtained.
4. We put in the refrigerator so that the ganache thickens a little.

Let's start forming the cake

1. We divide each cake lengthwise into even parts and cut it. It turns out 4 cakes of 2 pieces of the same color.
2. Cover the cutting board with food wrap or parchment and put a dark biscuit on it.
3. Beat the ganache again with a mixer. And we grease the first layer of the future cake with it.
4. So it is necessary to grease all the cakes, alternating layers and slightly pressing them down. Do not grease the top layer with cream.
5. Cover the cake with cling film and put in the freezer for 1 hour.
6. Next, the cakes need to be cut. To do this, we focus on the view of the cake from the side of a smaller length. Place the knife on the top corner and make a diagonal cut, moving to the opposite bottom edge of the cake. In this case, it is important to immediately grab all the cakes so that you get two equal parts of the cake with a triangular cut.
7. We connect both halves of the cake, greasing the side part with cream and "gluing" them to each other. You should get a large triangle of two small ones on the cut.
8. Cover the cake with the remaining cream on top. Smooth with a knife and decorate to your liking. You can sprinkle it with grated cocoa, powdered sugar, nuts, or create a decor with butter cream.

Advice
How to cut and join both halves of the cake correctly can be found here

On the basis of the same dough, you can make a French cake "Log" (la buche de noel).

Here you can experiment and take a white cake and a dark cream, or make a dark base, and take an oil cream.

How to make butter cream

1. You can beat 200 g of butter with 1 can of condensed milk.
2. Or, instead of condensed milk, boil 0.5 cups of milk, add 1 cup of sugar to it and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool the resulting syrup and beat with 200 g of butter, gradually pouring in the sweet milk.

If desired, you can add fruit essence, bananas, citrus fruits, lemon zest to the cream.

A linen or cotton tablecloth is suitable, and dishes are recommended to be served in earthenware or white dishes.

Well, when you need to create an environment where an exquisite and beautiful setting of the New Year's table is needed, then you can choose a white silk or cotton tablecloth, add golden notes to the decor, and use white and gilded dishes when serving.

Well, and, of course, their own decor options are allowed. The main thing is not to use flashy colors and pretentious decorations. The Yellow Pig loves simplicity and naturalness. And many still believe that if you put a figurine or a piggy bank in the shape of a pig on the New Year's table in 2019, it will definitely bring good luck. Believe it or not - it's up to you.

Festive menu for the New Year. Recipes, photos, annotations

So we have already prepared for the festive table. They are usually displayed along with appetizers, and to be honest, nowadays it is difficult to distinguish a salad from a snack. In general, this is everything - snacks.
We have also prepared in which you can choose the ones you like and start setting the table with them.

Let's add some more snacks

Hot dishes:

At the end of summer, eggplant is, in my opinion, the most common food. They go as a main course, as a side dish, and as an appetizer. And although they themselves are neither fish nor meat, they go very well with fish and meat. Eggplant caviar is especially good, which people usually harvest for the winter. But we eat it right away, since now you can buy eggplants at any time of the year, of course it is more expensive and it would be better to prepare it yourself for the winter, but not everyone has the conditions for this.

1. Eggplants are quick and tasty in a pan

We have already prepared several eggplant dishes. This is eggplant baked in the oven, this is a dish of meat and eggplant "Musaka", this is eggplant salads and an appetizer. So we already know a lot about eggplant. What an amazing product all the same, so as not to cook from it, no matter what recipe I use, everything turns out to be quite simple and tasty.

1. Baked eggplant with mussels, rolls

You should definitely try. This is such a treat! At first you can't even understand, what kind of dish is it, what kind of yummy it is, from what?

1. Eggplant in red sauce

Eggplant is still a vegetable. True, it is less versatile than zucchini, but it can also be added to almost any salads, and in many salads, he himself is the main character. The taste of fried eggplant resembles the taste of mushrooms, sometimes you can even be fooled.

1. Eggplant in white sauce

Of course, dry eggplant, without sauce, you can eat. But it's still better if there is a sauce, and even better to cook them in a sauce.

1. Red fish marinated

This dish is prepared in a completely different way, which I wrote about in the previous article "Pink salmon with orange sauce", that different dishes can be prepared from red fish, fried, steamed, salted, pickled, etc. We have been using this recipe for pickled fish for many years and for me it seems that every time the fish becomes tastier and tastier.

1. Fish in batter

Everyone loves this fish for sure. Fast, tasty, even dinner, even a snack. Everywhere she is good, this red fish.

1. Meatloaf with green peppers and carrots in the oven

The meatloaf is always a table decoration. It is cooked both on weekdays and on holidays, served for breakfast, dinner and lunch. The cooking process is quite time consuming and takes a lot of time, so rolls are still cooked more on holidays and weekends.

Well, now for hot dishes:

1. French meat with broccoli in the oven

Well, finally we got to the meat. Of course, New Years are very important, but meat is meat. We used to always serve it after the clock strikes 12, we will drink champagne, and then the hostess would jump up and lament: “oh, meat, meat” and ran to the kitchen to take the meat out of the oven or remove it from the stove.

1. Potatoes with sour cream baked in aluminum foil in the oven.

Potatoes baked in foil are not only very tasty, but also a healthy dish. Oven baked potatoes taste little different from charcoal baked potatoes. Housewives in America love this dish for its taste and ease of preparation. The dish turns out to be juicy and tender, and at the same time retains all the useful trace elements and vitamins.

1. Veal entrecote with bananas

Entrecote was one of the most famous restaurant meat dishes we have. I remember back in the 60-70s. in restaurants it was possible to order beefsteak and entrecote from meat dishes as main meat dishes. Well, the truth was there were also Kiev cutlets, but the sound of the words beefsteak, entrecote, as it were, brought us into the atmosphere of something unusual, foreign.

1. Baked lamb back with potatoes in the oven

As I wrote in other recipes, lamb is my favorite meat, and well cooked, with a good sauce, a side dish, soaked in the smells of all the ingredients that we add to it, I cannot describe this, it must be tried. Well, today we will cook a lamb back with potatoes and pineapple puree, I have seen many similar recipes and each has something of its own.

1. Beef with mushrooms and young potatoes with photo

For some reason, in our country (in Russia), it is customary to serve meat for a festive feast either in the form of a chopped cutlet or chop, or in boiled form, or stuck somewhere, for example, in dough (dumplings). But there are thousands of recipes for cooking meat, and each is somewhat original. So I decided to give you a recipe for beef with mushrooms. Delicious dish.

1. How to make moussaka

Musaka does not sound like the name of a dish, but like music, although this is just a casserole, like the well-known lasagna. But of course there are differences. Moussaka is a dish known throughout the Mediterranean, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, where the main consumer is not dough, but vegetables. In this case, eggplant. This is what the moussaka principle is based on.

1. Recipe for cooking noodles with seafood with photo

It is believed that pasta, noodles, this is almost a national dish in Italy. (there, by the way, they call it pasta). Well, maybe, although in Russia it is no less a national dish, along with potatoes. Of course, Italians cook hundreds of dishes from pasta, but for some reason, we mainly use it only as a side dish.

1. Pink salmon with orange sauce

Pink salmon is probably the most not presentable, but the most numerous, and therefore the cheapest, salmon fish in our markets. Notwithstanding the above, this fish is very tasty, and its usefulness cannot be compared to artificially grown Norwegian salmon.

1. Peking cabbage stewed with mushrooms and baked in the oven

Peking cabbage is difficult to compare with any other. It differs in that it is juicy and crispy at any time of the year. It occupies a special place in cooking and even begins to replace our usual white cabbage. It gives tenderness to any dish, be it baked or in a salad.

1. Recipe for pepper stuffed with meat and rice with a photo

I understand that of course everyone knows how to stuff pepper. Everyone does it their own way. I had a chance to try different cooking options. Somewhere more common pepper stuffed with vegetables, somewhere with meat, there are many more filling options.

For housewives, the approaching holiday does not always mean pleasant chores. In most cases, we rack our brains over how to surprise the guests, because Olivier and Herring under a fur coat are no longer in the gastronomic trend of restaurants. So that your preparation for the holiday was not tiring, but enjoyable, we have selected several simple, but very curious recipes. Enjoy your cooking!

As soon as you notice that the mixture thickens, add lemon juice, as well as pepper and salt to it. There are also two sheets of nori, previously very finely chopped. Beat everything using a blender.

Next, prepare the croutons. You can, of course, use the purchased ones, but we recommend preparing them yourself. Moreover, the process will not take much time. Take half of white bread, cut into characteristic cubes and dry using a dry frying pan.

As for the Adyghe cheese, it is also cut into medium-sized cubes and fried until it is browned. Sprinkle the cheese on top with a pinch of coriander.

The final stages of cooking: tear the iceberg salad with our hands, and cut the tomatoes in half. If the tomatoes are large, it is best to cut them into cubes. Season the fried cheese and vegetables with the prepared sauce and mix thoroughly. Add the croutons just before serving. It is also advisable to sprinkle the finished salad with Parmesan cheese.

Next, the eggplants must be allowed to cool. After that, carefully cut them lengthwise, pulling out the pulp with a spoon. Tomatoes are processed simply: remove the skin from them, and then finely chop them. The tomato pulp is mixed with the eggplant, then we add thinly chopped onion, garlic (pre-chopped) and a little cilantro there. The appetizer is dressed with a small amount of oil and vinegar. We finish the preparation of the appetizer by adding a little salt and pepper to taste. Before serving, the appetizer should stand and drink for at least an hour.

For the sauce, we need: garlic, tomatoes, half a glass of water, the specified seasonings and cream. This sauce is cooked for about five minutes, after which we fill it with vegetables and chicken in a baking dish. We put the mold in the oven only with closed foil. Chicken "Picasso" is cooked for about thirty minutes. The temperature in the oven is two hundred degrees. Next, remove the foil and sprinkle the chicken with cheese, previously grated on a coarse grater. Let the chicken stand for another fifteen minutes, and bon appetit!

New Year's desserts

Meal 7: Chocolate Covered Bananas

Another simple, but non-trivial dish. Its secret is in choosing the right bananas. If you buy the fruit unsuccessfully, then the taste will disappoint, so pay special attention to this. It is best to choose a dessert variety of bananas. It is not difficult to determine them: as a rule, the size of such a fruit does not exceed twelve centimeters. The banana peel should be bright. At the same time, do not be afraid of a small amount of dark specks, this indicates the ripeness of the banana.

What you need:

• one ripe banana;
• fifty grams of chocolate pieces;
• some confectionery dressing to your taste;
• some coconut flakes;
• nuts (optional).

We start cooking with glaze. Here you need to be as careful as possible: the icing should not be bitter, otherwise the dessert will be hopelessly spoiled. You can choose any chocolate for icing. You can buy both milk and dark chocolate - it will be more varied. We break the tiles into small pieces and then melt them using a water bath. You can melt chocolate in the microwave too. After that, we peel our banana from unnecessary skins and cut into medium-sized pieces. As a rule, there are two of them or a maximum of three. We pierce all the pieces of banana with a toothpick. True, it is best to stock up on festive multi-colored skewers. Then everything is simple: we dip the banana on a skewer in the finished chocolate icing, sprinkle with coconut, nuts, confectionery sprinkles and leave the dessert in the refrigerator for at least twenty minutes. Guests will definitely appreciate: it turns out beautifully and delicious!

Hello readers! One of the most anticipated holidays is approaching - New Year. We were taught from childhood that on the night of December 31 to January 1, all dreams and desires come true. And we, as children, are waiting for this moment, hoping for a bright future. I want to wish everyone that the New Year's fairy tale comes true. And the first step is to prepare a delicious and original menu.

Now there is such a large selection of dishes that the eyes run up. But I don't want to miscalculate. It so happens that you cook according to a recipe from the Internet, but it turns out tasteless. So that this fate does not overtake you, I have collected the best options. And they are in front of you.

I have also prepared for you the top 15 most delicious New Year's salads. They are available.

First of all, I want to cook something new and interesting, since the standard Olivier is a little boring. Check out the content below and see what I suggest. Click on the recipe you are interested in and go to it.

Ingredients:

• fresh frozen mackerel - 1 pc. large
• large sweet orange - 1 pc.
• seasoning for fish - 1 tsp
• provencal herbs - 1 tsp
• soy sauce - 1 tbsp l.
• lemon juice - 1 tsp
• sunflower oil - 2 tablespoons
• salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking method:

1.First, the fish must be thawed. It is better to transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator in advance so that the ice melts gradually. Cut open the abdomen and remove all entrails. Also, using culinary scissors or a knife, carefully cut out the gills, lifting the gill covers. When cleaning fish, it is important to remove the black film in the middle. If you leave it, the dish will taste unpleasantly.

Rinse the carcass well under running water and blot with a napkin.

2. Next, for a festive serving, remove the bones. To do this, extend the incision along the belly to the tail. Now cut along the ridge by cutting the rib bones. The fish will open. Use your knife to walk along the other side of the ridge. To reach it, use scissors to cut off this large bone.

3.Now remove the rib bones so that the fillets remain.

In mackerel, unlike herring, there are no small bones. Therefore, it is easy to cut it.

4. When the fish is prepared, make the sauce. First, wash the orange with a brush to peel the skin well. Grate the zest of half of this fruit on a fine grater.

It is important to remove only the top orange layer without catching the bitter white part.

5. Cut four slices from the orange to make a cushion for the mackerel when baking. Squeeze fresh juice from the remaining half. It is convenient to use a dedicated manual citrus juicer. If it is not there, just squeeze out with your hands, helping yourself with a spoon.

6. Pour the orange juice over the zest.

If your fruit is sour, add 1 tsp. Sahara. If it's sweet, then you don't need it.

7.Pour dry seasoning into the sauce, also add vegetable oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly. Be sure to try the marinade for a harmonious taste. Let the sauce sit for 5 minutes to set and the spices open up.

8.Place the fish in a baking dish. If the form is large, then you can immediately cook several carcasses for a large number of guests. Pour the sauce over the mackerel and marinate for 20 minutes.

9.Place four mugs of orange under the carcass to prevent the fish from sticking to the mold, as the liquid will evaporate. In addition, additional juice will be released from them, which will soak the mackerel.

10. Cover the tin with foil and bake in the oven at 180º for 20 minutes. Therefore, remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes.

11. Transfer the finished dish to a beautiful plate. Decorate with fresh herbs if desired. And serve hot to the table. The scent will spread beautifully throughout the house. So everyone will be looking forward to this mackerel. Here is such a simple, juicy dish worthy of the New Year's table.

Chicken chops in the oven with cheese - meat in the year of the pig

Since you cannot use pork, we will cook chicken or turkey chops. Although you can actually take any meat you like. I think many people love French meat (read the delicious recipes here), which can also be included in the menu for the New Year 2019. And if you bake it right away with potatoes, then you won't have to cook the side dish separately.

These chops are somewhat similar to the aforementioned "French" version. They are juicy, and the mushrooms give them extra flavor and juiciness. The pig, the mistress of the New Year, will appreciate such a treat.

Ingredients:

• large chicken fillet - 2 pcs.
• pickled mushrooms - 1 can
• hard cheese - 250 gr.
• mayonnaise - 150 gr.
• onions - 1 pc.
• garlic - 2 cloves
• greens - optional
• salt, pepper - to taste

How to make chops:

1. Let's start with the gas station. Cut the mushrooms into small pieces, drain all the liquid beforehand, it is not needed here.

If you wish, you can take fresh mushrooms. Only they will need to be fried to evaporate all excess moisture.

2. In mayonnaise, squeeze the garlic through a press or grate on a fine grater. Add the sauce to the mushrooms. Also put finely chopped greens there, if you use them.

3.Sat 100 gr. cheese on a coarse grater and also mix with the sauce. Season to taste. At this point, the gas station is ready. Look, don't eat it like this, because it tastes good anyway.

4. Wash the chicken breast and pat dry with paper towels. Do not skip this step, it is important for the final result. Cut each fillet lengthwise into thinner pieces (2-3 chops, depending on the thickness of the meat).

5.Place the sliced ​​breast in a bag or under plastic wrap and hammer on both sides with a hammer.

By using the film, you protect the kitchen from splashing.

6. Season each chop with salt and pepper on both sides.

7. Turn on the oven in advance to warm up to 180º. Grease an ovenproof dish or baking sheet with vegetable oil. Cut the onion into thin half rings. Divide the chicken into shape and sprinkle with onions.

8. Grease on top with mushroom sauce, which lays down in a thick layer.

9. It remains to sprinkle each chop with grated cheese and send to a well-preheated oven. Bake the New Year's chicken for 25-30 minutes. It is not worth keeping in the oven for a long time, so as not to dry out tender meat.

10. Deliver and serve to your guests. The classic combination of chicken, mushrooms and cheese will leave no one indifferent!

Oven baked potato recipe with balsamic vinegar

If you are tired of traditional mashed potatoes for a side dish, bake the potatoes in large wedges in the oven. They will be crispy and ruddy on the outside and soft in the middle. I recently wrote recipes for you, you can also use them.

This variant has a different dressing, there is a secret ingredient that makes the main taste of the dish. For cooking you will need:

• potatoes of the same size - 1.5 kg
• rosemary - 2-3 sprigs
• red onion - 3 pcs.
• garlic - 1 head
• butter - 50 gr.
• olive oil - 20 ml
• balsamic vinegar - 20-50 ml (to taste)
• water - 200 ml
• salt to taste

How to bake potatoes in the oven for the New Year:

1. Peel the potatoes first. You need to cut it coarsely enough. First in half, and then each half in 3 parts, so that you get slices like a tangerine.

2. Boil water in a saucepan, add a little salt and add the pieces of tubers. Cook the wedges for 5 minutes, no longer. Drain and discard potatoes in a colander. When all the water is drained, return the vegetables to the pot where they were cooked and add a lump of butter.

3. Cut the small onions into the same slices. Peel the garlic, but leave some of the cloves in the peel to give the dish a rustic feel (the pig lives in the village).

4. Place onion wedges and whole garlic cloves in a saucepan. Tear the rosemary sprigs into pieces and season with salt to taste.

5. Pour in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, which will give the garnish a new flavor. If you are making potatoes for the first time according to this recipe, add the last component in a small amount, for testing. It gives a spicy and highly aromatic note.

If fresh rosemary is not available, add dried spice.

6. Mix everything well. The potatoes should keep their shape well, not be overcooked. Therefore, make sure that it only boils a little in the water.

7.Pour the prepared vegetable mixture into a baking sheet.

If there is, you can add more rosemary sprigs to the bottom for an even bigger and more festive scent.

8.Put the garnish in a preheated 180º oven for 30 minutes.

9. Reach out and enjoy! As you can see, it's easy to cook such a New Year's potato in the oven, but it turns out very tasty! As I already wrote - a very crispy crust, but inside it is tender and velvety. I can only wish you bon appetit!

3.After boiling, transfer the dough to a bowl and beat with a mixer until warm (5 minutes).

4. Now beat in the eggs one at a time and stir. You should get a homogeneous, viscous dough.

Don't lay all your eggs at once. First one - whipped, then the second, etc.

5. Transfer the resulting mixture to a pastry bag. Cover a baking sheet with parchment and place pies on it, 2-2.5 cm in diameter.

If there is no special bag, then you can take a zip-bag (it is dense), transfer the dough into it and cut off the corner. Or just put it on with a teaspoon.

6. Preheat the oven to 175º and bake the appetizer base for 30 minutes. The balls will rise well and will be hollow inside. Do not open the oven ahead of time so that the profiteroles do not settle. Cooking times may vary. Make sure that the dough does not remain soggy on the inside.

7. Place the baked cakes on a wire shelf to cool.

8. Rub the lemon zest. You need it a little, about 2 tsp. Rub on a fine grater and only the top yellow layer. Do not grab the white part, otherwise bitterness will appear in the appetizer.

Raspberry chocolate dessert in a glass

Desserts in a glass always look beautiful and are easy to prepare. There are raspberries in this recipe, but you can use other frozen berries to your liking. You will need 5 cups of 150 ml each.

Ingredients:

for raspberry mousse:

• frozen raspberries - 500 gr.
• sugar - 120 gr.
• chilled cream 33% - 200 gr.

Take your time so as not to spray the mixture on the sides of the glass, otherwise the appearance will be ruined. Using a toothpick, spread the raspberry layer so that it lies in an even layer (about 1 cm high). No need to shake or tilt the glasses - you will get an uneven surface.

10. Put the cups with dessert in the refrigerator to harden. Let the remaining raspberry mousse wait for its turn on the table.

11.While the first layer is cooling, prepare the chocolate mousse. First, as with raspberry, soak the gelatin in cold water.

12.Pour the broken chocolate into a fireproof bowl. Pour milk into it. Place in a water bath to heat up. Stay still and stir constantly. Bring the mass to a homogeneous state.

13. Squeeze the gelatin and add to the melted chocolate. Stir vigorously until the thickener is completely dissolved.

14.With cream, do the same procedure as for the first time. Beat them until they become stable peaks in a separate container.

15. Pour the cream into the chocolate in portions and stir until a smooth, fluffy texture is obtained.

If you like, you can add some orange peel to the mousse.

16. Remove the glasses with the cured first layer from the refrigerator. Pour in the chocolate mousse the same height as the raspberry mousse. Smooth the edges with a toothpick again and set in the refrigerator to harden for 15 minutes.

18.Need to decorate. This can be done with fresh berries, chocolate chips, mint. In general, take what is available. You can just rub the chocolate and it will be great. Dessert is actually not complicated, not more complicated than regular jelly. But very effective and tasty.
