For the recipe you will need:
- 5 squid carcasses;
- half a glass of rice;
- 150 gr. fried mushrooms;
- 1 head of onion;
- 100 g of cheese;
- 2 eggs;
- 2-3 tbsp. spoons of milk;
- 40 ml of vegetable oil;
- a glass of sour cream;
- salt - to taste;
- ground black pepper - to taste.
Ingredients:
For pancakes: 3 eggs, 0.5 cup flour, 1 cup milk, onion, herbs, 2 tablespoons paprika (for color), salt.
For salad: eggs - 3 pcs, boiled potatoes and carrots - 2 pcs each, ham - 300 g, mayonnaise sauce, marinated mushrooms, greens.
Registration: melted cheese (soft), eggs - 2 pcs, marinated mushrooms, greens.
1. First we need to bake brown pancakes. Flour, eggs and milk will be the basis of the dough. For color, add paprika, finely chopped onions and herbs. This amount of products should be enough for about 6 pancakes. We grease them with oil.
2. We clean the potatoes, coarsely three on a grater. Mix in a single mass with mayonnaise and dill. Mayonnaise goes well with sour cream. We do the same with carrots - we clean, three and mix with the sauce. Eggs or finely chop or use a grater. Add mayonnaise to them. Mushrooms, pickled or salted, chop, mix with dill and sauce. Chop the ham into cubes and add the sauce too.
3. We form a hemp. We spread food plastic wrap on the table. Half the pancakes, cutting in diameter. Brush one side with melted cheese. Next, the halves smeared with cheese are laid overlapping on the film. The cut smooth edge of the pancakes will be the base of the stump. If there are larger halves, they must be laid in the place of the foundation of the future "stump". Along the stacked pancakes, we put the filling in strips randomly.
We lift the near side of the film and carefully fold everything into a roll, on one side of which a flat plane should be obtained. This side and put the resulting "stump" on a plate. If pancake tips stick out - cut them off, they will still come in handy.
4. We decorate the salad, bringing it to naturalness with details. We create roots from the remains of pancakes. If gaps remain somewhere, spread these joints with soft cheese. We decorate with greenery and mushrooms, as in the photo. That's where it makes sense to turn around fantasy! You can decorate the salad by setting "fly agarics" from tomato halves, studded with dots of egg whites.

Of the most conventional products you can cook “scary” Halloween dishes, the recipes of which are simple, and guests will definitely take pictures of them before eating, even if they do not have a page on a popular social network.
From boiled eggs, cut in half and garnished with olives, will also come out frighteningly delicious eyes, and spaghetti can be twisted into mummies. It is worth thinking not only about what to cook for Halloween, but also not to forget about the inedible entourage of snacks - funny ghosts will turn out from napkins, and it will be fun to put artificial cockroaches or bats between the plates.
By the holiday, many candies and other sweets in the form of skulls, skeletons and pumpkins appear in stores. But cute little gummies don't compare to what you can make at home.
Except fruit dishes and cookies, for Halloween you can bake muffins or cupcakes according to your favorite recipe, and use a pastry sleeve or syringe to draw evil faces, pumpkins or spiders on them with cream.
On the holiday table drinks of saturated colors will look spectacular, and not only the usual ones (red, yellow), but also green, blue and purple. Can be used food colorings or natural pigments. However, presentation is also important:
Any drink will become unusual if you create the appropriate entourage. Even a simple jelly will turn into a nightmarishly delicious treat if you add marmalade bones or worms to it. One has only to imagine how the embodied Halloween recipes will look in the photo, it becomes terribly fun!
Halloween is a terrifyingly fun holiday, therefore, not only, but even treats decorated with a bit of fantasy will create right atmosphere. Let the table fascinate with edible ghosts and spiders, and let the guests have fun throwing delicious worms at each other.
