PAPILLOTS(fr. papillote - paper wrapper). Used in the restaurant kitchen, paper tubes with various cutouts and scallops, with the help of which they hide the ends of the bones of animals or poultry protruding from the meat. The papillotes also play the role of a handle, by which you can hold the portion without smearing your hands on the fat, and make it easier to divide the portion into smaller pieces.
Papillotes first appeared in the 19th century in French restaurant cuisine, from where they quickly spread to many cuisines of the world, incl. and into Russian restaurant cuisine. Papillots were especially widely used in Soviet restaurants and in the communist Kremlin cuisine.

To decorate fried game, cutlets and chops with bone, hams on the bone, paper papillots and rosettes are used.
For papillotes, a sheet of paper is folded three times in length, then the edge of the paper is folded with a width of 1-1.25 cm and strips are evenly cut across the entire width of the paper with a sharp knife or scissors. The paper is cut into 4 strips, wrapped on a round stick, giving the appearance of a flower, and its ends are folded.
To make a rosette, paper with a size of 12:12 cm is folded in 4 layers (in half and again in half), cut obliquely and corrugated using a thin cloth. Then cut off the sharp tip of the rosette, unfold the rosette and put it on the papillote and on the bone (see below).

"... I have never written about how to cook fish in papillotes. Papillote, dear dull-headed, in cooking is a twisted cut piece of paper that is usually put on the bones of cutlets or fried poultry. Well, except that Gedrius managed to cook catfish in a papillote. his lady who was screwed into her hair. "
(an excerpt from the Lithuanian literature of the twentieth century).

The scheme for making the simplest papillote:

1. The paper should not be very thin — printer paper is best.
2. Take heavy white paper and cut a strip about 8 cm long and 4 cm wide.
3. Fold the strip in the middle along the length.
4. Cut the folded paper along the fold with scissors into even notches - you get something like a fringe.
5. With cut paper in a spiral wrap a round stick, the diameter of which coincides with the diameter of the bone.
6. Glue the end of the paper strip with food glue made of boiled starch or flour, or gelatin, or attach with tape.
NOTE. Although recently, for simplicity, papillotes are often glued together with tape, but it must be admitted that scotch tape does not agree well with edible products, therefore food glue made of flour or starch, or gelatin is always more preferable.
7. Trim the bottom of the cuff with scissors.
Use the finished papillotes to decorate the bird.

It's good that the chefs have come up with another way - to decorate with herbs a variety of dishes, including salads, soups and desserts. As a result, we get an aesthetic and healthy dish. It is not necessary to be a master of table decoration. It is enough to put the cutlets on terry lettuce leaves - this will already be attractive. For other ways of decorating, you will have to learn and spend some time with a magazine in your hands. And then handling any greenery will become a habit, and your table will become a work of art.

What should be the greens

Before experimenting, you need to pick the freshest greens. Dried parsley and yellow dill are more likely to make the salad unattractive, and all efforts will be in vain. You will not get any pleasure from such food. So, the most common way to give food a livelier and more vibrant look is to sprinkle it with finely chopped herbs. It's simple, fast, effective. One has only to take into account that the greens should be finely chopped - without pieces of stems or stubs of leaves. If you decide to decorate the dish with leaves or twigs, they must remain intact. Otherwise, all products for decoration need to be cut finely.

We decorate with twigs

Even the usual onions and parsley can become actors in filling the aesthetic qualities of a dish, if you use them skillfully. If you don't want to constantly chop the herbs, try splitting the dill into small twigs for us and sprinkle them on a large plate. The result is the basis for many dishes: here you can put just halves of eggs sprinkled with mayonnaise, sand baskets with salad, stuffed tomatoes and much more. This is already enough to give the dish a special charm. And if you add more lemon or apple slices, you get a whole still life. Likewise, you can use sprigs of parsley, lettuce, or other greens that you like. Therefore, there should always be a bunch of dill and parsley in the refrigerator - this is the smallest set that will allow you to add a touch of novelty to the usual design of the table and give it completeness.

Greens for children's meals

Likewise, you can decorate children's dishes, only here it is worth a lot more invention. Greenery can be used as a basis for whole landscape sketches that mom and baby will make together. On the basis of finely chopped dill, you can lay out trees, figures of animals and insects, mushrooms and bushes. Tomato ladybug, carrot, cucumber and cheese butterflies, bread stump and mushroom-fly agaric from egg and tomato, olive mushrooms and much more can be done on this green carpet. And twigs from greenery can be used as parts for making animal faces - mustaches or eyebrows from dill look amazing. Even simple sandwiches laid out on a lettuce or parsley base will make your child look differently. After all, an appetizing dish makes you want to eat it faster, which is what we achieved with our efforts to decorate the dish with herbs.

Decorate with green onions

Covered with stereotypes, we do not want to look for something new, and it is even in the decoration of dishes with herbs. This is a chives, which have long enjoyed a good reputation among professional chefs. These thin green straws are a very handy item to pair with any dish. They especially love to put it on canapes or other similar sandwiches - it gives them a more sophisticated look. It is very simple to use it at home, especially since no special techniques are required here. The chives are simply cut into slices and randomly laid out on top of any dish. And in children's fantasies, it can be used most successfully - no one has yet come up with the best mustache, if parents want to lay out the muzzle of a cat or a tiger from porridge. Among other things, this onion is delicious.

Decorate with rosemary

How to decorate snacks? If you are using canned vegetables, then you can also garnish them with sprigs of herbs or onions, and not just put them on plates. This will give the table more brightness and diversify the design. If you are a champion of everything new and love to experiment, try decorating the table with a rosemary wreath. This is an unusual piece of jewelry, and it will surely surprise and delight your guests and loved ones. This herb is very effective in itself, and it can decorate any dish, but the wreath will become a more amazing and non-trivial decoration of the table. Arrange the rosemary on a flat plate in the form of a wreath, you can even twist the branches slightly. The middle should be empty. Put olives, small mozzarella cubes, gherkins, cherry tomatoes and any other small products on the wreath. In the middle, you can put any canned vegetables or an assortment of them. This is how you get a wreath appetizer. You will get an unexpected memory of the New Year, because a rosemary wreath looks like a New Year's tree decoration.

The second decoration option with rosemary is even more romantic. It is suggested to decorate with rosemary a cake or a cupcake with a hole in the middle. To make the cake look more attractive, it is better to fill the middle with something to make it look like a finished work of culinary art. Often they put a candle there, and it looks pretty nice. Keep the candle small with a low candlestick. Scented candles are not used here - rosemary will play the role of a fragrant filler. We put its twigs around the candle, and while it burns, its warmth will warm up the fragrant herb, and you will feel the delicate scent of cake and the delicate scent of rosemary. Together they will create a unique bouquet that none of the guests can forget.

Decorate with mint

Mint has been known for a long time, it is used in a variety of situations - for making tea, cocktails and for decorating dishes. Moreover, you can decorate with its filigree leaves and soup-puree, and mousse, and drinks. And everywhere it will be in place. Therefore, it is so easy to brighten up any dish if you have fresh mint at home. Now many housewives simply grow it on the site, and in winter in pots and flowerpots. So this is a decoration for the whole year! What can be decorated with mint sprigs:

1. fruit salad;
2. beverages;
3. ice cream;
4. desserts.

And if you add berries to the mint, you get a cheerful multi-colored assortment that will increase the mood of the guests. Any child will not resist yogurt if they see a mint leaf and raspberries on top. A homemade cake? Here mint may well play the role of a savior, if there is nothing to decorate with or there is no time left for all sorts of delights. We simply cover the top cake with white cream or whipped cream, put a mint circle in the center, and sprinkle all the splendor with cinnamon. No one would think that the idea was completely different. And the aroma will delight the most capricious sweet tooth.

Some advanced housewives make a completely new and unusual decoration from mint: chocolate coins. They can be used to decorate desserts, ice cream, pastries and cakes. In addition, in such coins, mint is kept fresh for three days. And there is no need to talk about the original taste of the decoration. Take as many mint leaves as you need to decorate the dish and place them a short distance apart on baking paper or foil. Melt a bar of dark chocolate in a water bath and pour into a pastry bag.

Now you need to carefully put out of the bag so much chocolate on each leaf that it would be enough to cover one leaf. Place another sheet of parchment on top and press lightly on the table. After that, the chocolate should completely cover the mint leaves to make the chocolate coins. If they are uneven, you can trim them with a knife or round cookie cutter. Now the leaves on the tray need to be placed in the cold, and after an hour they can be separated from the parchment and immediately used as decoration. They can also be stored in a container for several days. After a little workout, you will have some great coins and will certainly surprise your guests.

Decorating with basil

The handsome basil is perfect for decorating dishes. They, like mint, can be used to decorate meat dishes, salads, pizza, and desserts. Professionals consider the salad of mozzarella, tomato and basil to be the most successful combination, however, it goes here not as a decoration, but as a full-fledged ingredient. And yet, the basil hue gives this salad a new look every time. And also the way of stacking products. They can be cut into flat slices and laid out in the form of a pyramid tapering upward in layers. You can put cherry tomatoes, cheese and basil in a spiral on a flat dish, rounding it to the middle. Some put in layers in a circle, and inside the circle they lay out sprigs of basil - also beautiful. Sometimes they just line the plate with basil leaves, and put canapes of cookies, cheese and cherry tomatoes on top.

As you can see, decorating the table with greens is not as difficult as it might seem at first. And all the greens are quite accessible, you just need to remember that they must be fresh. And the most important thing here is that this is not just a whim, because decorating dishes with herbs, we also make them healthy, and this is very important.
