We didn't have time to blink an eye, and very soon our favorite holiday - the New Year. And, as usual, I want to come up with something so that the guests are simply smitten on the spot by your culinary masterpieces prepared for the holiday. But even more I want not to spend too much on buying the necessary products to cook these masterpieces. After all, the New Year is a serious financial cost: for, for new outfits and decorations, for and, for. Therefore, today we will talk about recipes for inexpensive dishes that can decorate your New Year's table.

In fact, there are a lot of such recipes. They can easily be found in cookbooks, on the pages of numerous culinary sites. But the New Year is a special holiday. And it has already become a tradition to prepare for its celebration in accordance with one or another symbol of the coming year according to the Chinese calendar. Someone decorates their home, selects outfits and prepares dishes, strictly following the recommendations of astrologers, someone tries not to break traditions, and someone does everything in their own way.

According to astrologers and orientalists, 2019 - the year of the Yellow Earth Pig, which will replace the peaceful and cheerful Dog - will be special and promises to pass under the sign of family happiness, financial luck and prosperity. But on one condition, that you yourself will persistently and conscientiously, with optimism and faith, achieve your goals. The Yellow Pig, although a kind person, does not like lazy people, cunning people and deceivers very much.

According to the Eastern calendar, the year of the Yellow Earth Pig begins on February 5, 2019 and will last until January 24, 2020.

The new symbol of the year, by virtue of his temperament and cheerful character, loves everything tasty, bright and memorable. And when choosing New Year's dishes, we will focus on the tastes and preferences of the hardworking, active, optimistic and cheerful Yellow Pig in order to please the patron of 2019 to the best of our ability.

The Yellow Pig simply loves all sorts of goodies and variety, so our festive dinner should not only be hearty with a lot of delicious dishes, but also perfectly match the tastes of the symbol of 2019. The pig will be very "pleased" if your holiday table is decorated with a large number of dishes from vegetables, cheese, fruits, fish. But what definitely should not be on the festive table is pork meat dishes (so as not to offend the symbol of the year).

The New Year's menu of 2019 welcomes winter salads, cold appetizers, hot fish dishes that can be prepared quickly and at little cost. You can use any natural products, vegetables, tropical fruits, root vegetables with the addition of game meat and olive oil. And don't forget the greenery. After all, Pigs between times with pleasure and very willingly nibbling grass.

The hostess of the year will be pleased with the abundance of oranges, tangerines and other fruits, natural juices, and nut treats. A real gift, fully consistent with the taste of the Pig, can be a dish with truffles. But it is clear that the preparation of such a culinary delight can thoroughly undermine the family budget set aside for the celebration of the New Year. As a budget alternative to truffles, you can use any other mushrooms.

In general, the food should be healthy, not too heavy on the stomach and not too difficult to prepare. Here are a few recipes, the presence of which in this year's New Year's menu can really please the future hostess of the Yellow Pig.

Salad "Confusion in Florence"

To prepare this simple, but mouth-watering holiday salad with a strange but memorable name, it will take a little time:

• We lay out 2-3 lettuce leaves on a plate, covering its entire surface with them.
• We prepare a mixture of pickled champignons (150-200 g), cut into small pieces, red tomatoes (3 pcs.), Yellow and red peppers (2 pcs. each), diced, and grated hard-boiled 3 eggs.
• Salt all the ingredients, season with vegetable oil, mix and spread on lettuce leaves.
• Sprinkle lemon juice (1 tsp) on top and sprinkle with grated hard cheese (100 g).

All! The salad, which will become a real decoration of the festive table, is ready.

Salad "Polish"

This is a very simple salad that does not require a lot of food. To prepare it, you will need fresh white cabbage (500 g), fresh cucumbers (100 g), ham (100 g), herbs (parsley, dill, green onions), salt, mayonnaise or sour cream.

Cabbage should be finely chopped, salt, mash, add chopped cucumbers, ham and chopped greens. Mix everything and season with mayonnaise or sour cream. Salad ready!

Salad "New Year's Nocturne"

Cabbage salad called "New Year's Nocturne" can be prepared much faster if you use household appliances.

We take chicken (200 grams), which we chop in a blender. We chop 200 g of white cabbage, cut 200 g of fresh cucumbers in a “combine”. Then we mix everything, salt, add herbs and olive oil, decorate with pear slices. Cooking time is just a few minutes.

Mandarin salad with cheese and persimmon

This fruit salad with cheese will appeal to gourmets who are tired of the monotonous and traditional set of dishes on the New Year's table. The highlight of this dish, which makes it a great addition to a festive dinner, is red onion.

For cooking you will need:

• 1 large ripe persimmon;
• 2 juicy tangerines;
• 1 red onion;
• soft or hard cheese (65 g);
• a small bunch of lettuce leaves;
• salt, black pepper - to taste.

Washed and peeled persimmons (remove the peel in a thin layer, remove the seeds and stalk) cut into small cubes and put in a deep salad bowl. There we also add slices of peeled, white fibers and pits of tangerines, the most finely chopped red onion, torn into pieces of medium size, pre-washed and dried lettuce leaves, spices, olive oil. Mix everything and sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Everything is ready!

Nostalgic vinaigrette

From vegetables, you can cook a very healthy and undeservedly forgotten classic vinaigrette. Maybe it's not so exotic, but tasty and inexpensive.

Everyone probably knows how to cook it. But just in case, I'll remind you. You can boil vegetables ahead of time. Cut carrots, beets and potatoes into cubes, mix with pickles, sauerkraut, onions, green peas, season with vegetable oil, sprinkle with dill and mix everything.

Hot meals and snacks

On the New Year's table in 2019, dishes prepared from rabbit meat, beef, lamb, poultry, delicious fish dishes from pike perch, perch, trout, salmon, salmon or exotic seafood, seasoned with mouth-watering sauces of cheese, sour cream and herbs, will take a worthy place.

They really help out in the New Year's bustle of snacks, which are prepared extremely quickly and simply and leave a lot of time for other pre-holiday activities.

To prepare this dish, you will need potatoes, which must be wrapped in foil and baked in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees. Cut the potatoes on top, put a slice of smoked salmon there, pepper and complete the composition with a spoonful of sour cream.

Estimated cooking time is 40 minutes.

Pieces of chicken fillet should be salted, peppered, seasoned with paprika and fried for 15 minutes in hot fat. Cool and cut into cubes.

Fill the tartlets with cottage cheese, put the chicken on top and decorate with lemon balm leaves.

mini rolls

For mini-rolls (you can call them Russian rolls), pita bread or pancakes are suitable. And for the filling - anything: salmon, ham and cheese, cod liver and eggs, herbs, crab sticks, lettuce and mayonnaise

stuffed snacks

Another way to decorate the New Year's table with inexpensive but tasty dishes is to cook stuffed snacks. You can stuff boiled potatoes, eggs, sweet peppers, eggplant and tomatoes.

For example, you can cook bell peppers of different colors (red, yellow and green) stuffed with stewed vegetables or mushrooms with rice and grated cheese. Or cook eggs stuffed with red caviar with a sauce of yolks and mayonnaise.

Red tomatoes stuffed with any filling (cheese mass with garlic and mayonnaise, fried mushrooms with onions seasoned with mayonnaise, cod liver with boiled egg and mayonnaise), laid out on a dish and decorated with greens, decorate the festive table very much.

As an appetizer, a traditional jelly is also suitable. Very tasty and cheap food.

And stuffed eggplants - why not a treat for the New Year? This is how a dish called karniyarik is prepared in Turkey.

Eggplants (you need to take about six medium eggplants) are cut lengthwise, the core is removed (but not completely), rubbed with salt inside and out, fried in sunflower oil on both sides, constantly turning over.

For the filling, cut tomatoes (4 pieces): two - into cubes and two - into slices, one onion, a little hot pepper. Onions and peppers are fried in olive oil. Then minced meat is added there. All you need to salt, pepper and simmer over low heat. When the meat is fried, add the tomatoes. Put the prepared minced meat with vegetables in eggplants and garnish with herbs.

Snacks from home supplies

On the festive table, pickled and pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, sauerkraut and mushrooms are always in demand, that is, everything that is cooked with one's own hands from inexpensive seasonal products.

New Year's desserts

It is difficult to imagine a festive New Year's table without an abundance of delicacies, sweets, all kinds of cakes, pies, pastries and delicious cookies. The Yellow Pig loves anything sweet. Therefore, nuts, homemade muffins, sweets and pastries with New Year's symbols will be a good addition to the festive table. And fantasy will tell you what to cook.

Delicious honey-ginger cookies in the shape of small Christmas trees, decorated with snow-white icing, macaroons in the shape of stars, vanilla crescents and ginger balls, chocolate, nut, fruit pastries - all this is suitable for a fun holiday. The main thing is that in the year of the Yellow Pig all this should be juicy, bright and appetizing.

If there is time left in the New Year's fuss, for dessert you can offer guests delicious and airy chocolate muffins. Even a chef with no experience can cook them. And yes, it won't take much time.

• Melt 100 g butter and 100 g chocolate. If we use milk chocolate, then we exclude sugar from the recipe. If we take dark chocolate, then beat eggs (3 pcs.) With 40 g of sugar until it is completely dissolved.
• There we also add a teaspoon of baking powder and flour (2 tablespoons). We mix. You can also add to taste: ground nuts, cinnamon, ground coffee.
• Pour melted butter with chocolate into the prepared mixture and mix everything quickly.

Muffins are more tender the less flour they contain, so even if it seems that this ingredient is not enough, you should not add more than in the recipe. Chocolate acts as a thickener in this recipe.

• We fill silicone or paper molds with ready-made dough and dip pieces of white chocolate into the dough (in total, it will take from 50 to 100 g).
• Bake for 15-20 minutes at 190 degrees.
• Take the dessert out of the oven and serve warm (you can sprinkle with powdered sugar).

Easy jelly recipe

We use any berry compotes, fruit juices and gelatin to prepare this delicious delicacy (at the rate of 15 g of gelatin per 400 ml of juice).

First, dissolve the gelatin in 50 ml of hot water until a thickened homogeneous mass is formed, which is poured into the juice. After mixing everything, pour it into molds and put it in the refrigerator. The jelly hardens for about 5 hours (the time depends on the quality of the gelatin).

If you prepare a multilayer jelly, then the next layer can be poured only after the previous one has completely solidified. Before serving, the dessert can be garnished with mint leaves or grated chocolate.

You can decorate the festive table by creating mouth-watering fruit compositions: oranges, tangerines, grapes, kiwi, pears and apples. Especially if you use the carving technique. This will help make the dish appetizing and memorable.

What kind of drinks to serve guests?

In the year of the Yellow Pig, the festive New Year's table can be decorated with any drink. Although the abundance of strong alcohol may not be to the liking of the symbol of the year. It will be enough to be limited to one or two of its types. In all other respects, rely on your choice and preferences of the guests. It can be light wines, sweet liquors, delicious cocktails and, of course, sparkling champagne.

Not at all superfluous on the New Year's table in 2019 will be natural juices, berry fruit drinks, fruit compotes and mineral water.

Making product lists

As you know, the degree of success of any business is determined by the degree of preparation. And even more so when it comes to celebrating the New Year. In order not to spend too much (this applies to both time and money), you need to draw up a menu in advance and a detailed list of all the products that may be required to prepare a New Year's dinner.

It is better to make two lists: for perishable products and products that can be stored for a long time. First of all, we buy long-term storage products, long before the New Year. Thus, we save money (because food prices tend to rise closer to the New Year) and time, which is always lacking on the eve of the holiday.

We use proven recipes

Each family usually has its favorite New Year's dishes, the recipes of which are passed down from generation to generation. Many of us from year to year, despite the huge number of new recipes that appear, traditionally prepare Olivier salad or herring “under a fur coat” for the festive New Year's table.

In general, there is nothing wrong with this. And if you really can’t part with the traditional New Year’s dishes, then you can try to modify them a little by adding some new products instead of the generally accepted ones. For example, instead of boiled sausage, you can try adding lightly salted salmon to the Olivier salad.

You should not experiment for the New Year with complex and exotic dishes that you have never tried or cooked before. It may simply not work out, or the dish will not be as tasty as you expected. Therefore, it is better to take proven recipes for your favorite dishes or try in advance to do what you have planned to cook for the New Year's holiday table.

To please the symbol of the New Year, experts advise decorating and serving the festive table this year in accordance with the general style of the festive decoration of the house. Unlike the noble Dog, the predecessor of the Pig, who prefers modesty to excessive pomp, the symbol of 2019 loves luxury and pomp, has a subtle sense of beauty and has a somewhat pretentious taste.

But here the main thing is not to overdo it and not overload the interior with sparkling attributes of the New Year holiday. The festive table should look rich, varied and elegant: beautifully decorated salads, decorated with fruit and vegetable cuts will harmoniously complement golden candles, crystal, sets and snow-white napkins. Rely on your intuition. The main thing is to create an atmosphere of a real holiday. Try, experiment.

Merry Christmas to you!

Prices are growing every day like mushrooms after rain, but can a crisis situation be a reason to deny yourself a New Year's feast?!

Be sure to heat the pan well and grease it with oil.

I think that for the holiday it is better to bake intricate pancakes in the form of snowflakes. This is done quite simply. Pour the bulk of the pancake into the middle of the pan, and, turning it slightly, let the dough spread a little.

Then you scoop some dough into a spoon and draw patterns around. You can collect the test in a small plastic bottle and draw from it. This is somewhat more convenient, but the test is spent more.

When all the pancakes are ready, cover them with a plate or cling film to make them softer.

For now, let's get on with the filling. Cut salmon into small squares. Cheese grate on a fine grater. Finely chop the pickles too. Pepper, add mayonnaise and mix everything.

Divide the onion into feathers and steam with boiling water to make them more elastic.

In the middle of each pancake, put a tablespoon of the filling, form a bag and carefully tie with onion feathers. During this procedure, it is better to involve children or a husband, let them also take part in the preparations for the holiday.

These bags are served cold to the table, but if you are making them on the eve of the holiday, it is better to warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds so that the pancakes are not harsh.
