The atmosphere of the New Year's celebration is created not only by home decorations, but also by proper decoration of the festive table. Traditionally, those dishes that most appeal to the symbol of the coming year are selected for serving, and in 2017 these will be the bright fiery colors of the design of simple but tasty treats. All this will please the serious, hot-tempered, but easy-going red fire rooster.

Table decoration

First of all, you need to pay attention to the dishes, which should be glass or porcelain, but in no case plastic. It is better to choose colors to please the rooster - red, orange or bright yellow. It is necessary to diversify the menu with herbs and vegetables, because the owner of the coming year eats exactly these. You can add sprigs of chopped herbs; it is not necessary to prepare separate dishes from them.

Main rules

It is strictly forbidden to serve the festive table with chicken dishes; fatty meats, large amounts of mayonnaise, butter and store-bought sauces are also undesirable. All dishes should be light, prepared from meat, fish or other seafood. Homemade canned food will be an excellent addition to the table.

Duck with apples

Since poultry is familiar to our menu, and chicken meat is contraindicated on New Year’s Eve 2017, you can safely replace it with a classic Russian dish - aromatic duck with apples. To prepare it you will need one duck carcass, on average it weighs 3 kg, three medium-sized green apples, half a lemon, almost one hundred grams of sour cream, salt, spices and herbs to taste.

Cooking begins with preparing the carcass. To do this, the gutted fish must be washed and dried, and only then rubbed with salt and spices on all sides, outside and inside. Peel the apples, cut into cubes, cut the lemon into rings and mix. The stuffing can also be sprinkled with spices or aromatic cinnamon and placed inside the bird. The hole through which the duck began should be sewn together with thread or secured with toothpicks. After this, the entire outer surface of the carcass is coated with sour cream and placed in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. It is important to place the bird on a baking sheet, breast side down, and bake for several hours. At the end, the carcass is covered with foil and left in the oven for another quarter of an hour. The duck can be served whole or divided into portions and garnished with fresh herbs.

Shrimp in sauce

This hot seafood dish will appeal to many for its special tenderness and lightness.

To prepare, you will need 800 grams of frozen shrimp, a small head of garlic, fifty grams of butter, 250 grams of cream, spices, salt, herbs and, of course, lettuce.

First, lightly fry the chopped garlic in butter, then pour the cream into the pan. When the mixture boils, place thawed and peeled shrimp in it for no more than seven minutes, then stir in the chopped herbs, stir and fry for another couple of minutes. If you overdo it, the shrimp meat will become tough. The dish must be left on the switched off stove to thicken and served uncooled on lettuce leaves.

Fish in sour cream sauce

This dish is closer to ordinary Russian cuisine and for preparation you will need 800 grams of peeled fish fillet, a glass of sour cream, 2 onions, half a lemon, a little flour, spices, salt, vegetable oil and herbs.

The fish fillet must be marinated for a couple of hours in a mixture of lemon juice, spices and salt. To do this, cut the fish into portions, coat with the mixture and leave. At this time, prepare the sauce. To do this, stir salt, pepper and flour into the sour cream so that no lumps form. Place the chopped onions on a prepared baking sheet, place the fish on top, skin side down, and place in the oven for half an hour at 180 degrees. After this, take out the baking sheet, pour the sauce over the fish and put it back until golden brown.

It is better to sprinkle the finished dish with herbs and serve with a side dish of rice or on its own on lettuce leaves.

Scrambled eggs with spaghetti

This very simple and elegant dish is called carbonara and is prepared from one hundred grams of spaghetti, two eggs, 40 grams of bacon, 50 grams of cheese, salt, pepper and herbs.

The eggs are beaten together with grated cheese and added to the frying pan with the fried bacon, after which the boiled spaghetti is also added. The whole mass is simmered over low heat until cooked and served in portions, sprinkled with herbs and cheese.

Diet brightness

The fiery rooster will definitely like the colorful French dish ratatouille, made only from vegetables.

To do this, you will need to take part of a tomato, a third of bell pepper, onion, zucchini and eggplant, as well as garlic, spices, salt and vegetable oil.

All vegetables should be cut into rings of equal thickness, salted and left for a while, then rinsed. Eggplants should be kept longer than others so that the bitterness goes away. Spices are mixed with vegetable oil and garlic, then fry onion cut into half rings in the mixture, place peeled diced tomatoes and bell peppers there. The resulting mixture will be the sauce for the future dish. It should be placed on a baking sheet, and slices of the remaining vegetables should be placed on top and baked in the oven for more than an hour. It is important to cover the top of the vegetables with foil or parchment paper to prevent them from burning.

The dish is served directly in the form or in portions on plates, decorated with herbs and, if desired, grated cheese.

Sweet pork

Fragrant pork cooked with pineapples is unique in both taste and presentation. For it you will need half a kilo of meat, a can of canned pineapples, two hundred grams of hard cheese, sunflower oil, salt and spices.

The meat should be cut into slices of equal thickness and beaten, then salt and pepper. The meat is placed in the prepared form, and pineapples are placed on top, or you can place the meat with layers of pineapples between pieces of pork. The dish is baked for 40 minutes at 180 degrees, and a few minutes before it’s ready, sprinkle with grated cheese.

The dish can be used on its own or with a light vegetable side dish.

Any food can be turned into a masterpiece if you approach its preparation with love and imagination.

And, as the cheerful famous song says: “...we’ll invite our friends to the holiday!...” What is most important, for every housewife, on New Year’s holidays is a rich table.

Hot snacks on the New Year's table in the year of the Fire Rooster are a special topic. The most important thing in preparing these dishes is that in no case, no matter how much we love chicken meat, we cannot cook anything from it for the New Year. Otherwise, the Rooster will be seriously offended! Testicles, chicken liver, chicken jellied meat are also excluded. But in terms of other meat products there is freedom. The rooster is an arrogant and jealous bird, and he will only gloat and rejoice if you cook something hot from lamb, pork or beef.

If your choice is lamb, then it will go perfectly with.

Fiery hot, generously flavored with black pepper and saffron, lamb pilaf is a wonderful treat and a wonderful snack. If we are talking about pilaf, then on the eve of the Year of the Rooster it is simply necessary to make two types of pilaf: to go with meat, and to add hot sweet pilaf to the table. The rooster loves any cereal, including rice, and he will simply be delighted with pilaf with raisins, dried apricots and prunes! In addition, what is very important, in sweet pilaf, if we take bright dried apricots and reddish raisins, there will be a red tint, and the fiery Rooster comes to us!

The cockerel is indifferent to fish, although sometimes some housewives feed the chickens with fishmeal. So, calmly, we prepare a hot fish dish, for example, a delicious juicy one.


Or baked in the oven and marinated in lemon-honey sauce.

Juicy, slightly fried, with blood (don’t forget that red color is desirable in most dishes in the 2017 New Year), and with a side dish of sweet corn, canned beans or green peas, the “fiery gentleman” will really like it. He will gladly treat himself to both the meat and the side dish that he loves so much.

You're tired of chops, then maybe you'll like something baked in the oven with potatoes as a main course.

Or very tasty and unusual with mushrooms and cheese.

Since the rooster loves grains and legumes, even an ordinary (Georgian bean dish) this New Year will turn from an ordinary meal into a New Year's treat.

More fried onions, black pepper, finely chopped cilantro - and you simply won’t be able to drag your guests away from this hot dish!

When compiling and selecting hot dishes for 2017, you need to take into account one more important detail - the Fire Rooster loves it “to be hot,” therefore, having purchased food in advance, we will try to prepare hot food for the New Year’s table back to back, so that not a single dish has to be reheated. Yes, it will be a little difficult, but the symbol of the coming year will be pleased with your efforts and will reward you with good luck and success in 2017!

They occupy not the last place in it, but without the main dish, the New Year's table will seem incomplete. Hot food for the New Year 2017 should be selected taking into account, and there are a number of fundamental requirements for treats.

Sprinkle the finished roast with fresh thyme. Serve with sauce.

Chicken in batter

You can also serve chicken as an alternative. Chicken meat is one of the most common meats on our tables. Usually, for the holiday, chicken and potatoes are prepared in the oven, chicken fried in a frying pan is served with mashed potatoes, or chicken is baked in a sleeve. However, let's throw away all these standard recipes and serve chicken in an original way. For example, let’s make chicken in batter with a crispy crust and tender meat.

The batter contains equal parts cornstarch and flour. This is what helps achieve a crispy crust.

The ingredients for the batter can be adjusted at your discretion. For example, add your favorite seasonings to it, or replace milk with ordinary water.

Battered chicken recipe:

Pour water into a large bowl. Dissolve salt and sugar in it. We put in the chicken. Place in the refrigerator for 30 – 60 minutes.

In a large Dutch oven, heat a fairly large amount of vegetable oil.

Drain the brine from the chicken. Place the chicken drumsticks in the batter. Dip on all sides. Next, fry our chicken one by one in vegetable oil until golden. Roasting time may vary. It depends on the size of the chicken drumsticks.

You can serve chicken in batter hot, warm or cold. This dish will not only be an excellent hot dish, but will also be a tasty appetizer.

Pork stew with quince

Quince fruits are not particularly popular in our country. It’s rare to see this exotic in anyone’s home, despite all its beneficial properties. That is why we chose quince to create a hot dish for the New Year 2018.

  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Any spices (to taste)

In the same frying pan, fry the quince pulp cut into cubes for 8 - 10 minutes. If necessary, you can add a little more vegetable oil. Add sugar and spices. As soon as the quince is caramelized, add the garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until aroma appears. Next, return the pork to the pan. Fill with water and add soy sauce. Cover with a lid. Cook for 1 ¼ hours until the meat is tender. Sprinkle the finished pork with chopped herbs.

This dish is best served with boiled rice.

Mackerel is a unique fish. It has a delicate texture and unique taste. This fish can even be eaten raw. But today we will prepare a mackerel roll with vegetable filling.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large mackerel
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 onion
  • 1 medium lemon
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil.

Recipe for mackerel roll stuffed with vegetables:

If you use frozen fish, you should first defrost it in the refrigerator. Next, cut off the head and tail from the fish. We make a cut along the ridge,

separate one half. We remove the backbone and the remaining bones (there are not so many of them in mackerel).

Add fish fillet and pepper to taste.

Three carrots on a grater. Chop the onion. Fry vegetables in vegetable oil until soft.

By the way, you can add other vegetables to the vegetable filling, for example, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. Vegetables should first be blanched and chopped.

Cut the lemon in half. Cut one half into thin slices. Squeeze the juice from the other half.

Add half the fish fillet. Place vegetable filling and lemon slices on it. Cover with the other half of the mackerel fillet. Sprinkle with lemon juice. We tie our roll tightly with thread.

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove the finished roll from the oven and cut into slices. Don't forget to remove the thread before doing this.

Recipes for hot dishes for the New Year 2018 can be very diverse. Let's bake a New Year's beauty? This hot dish will appeal to both adults and children, who, as a rule, simply adore pizza.

Ingredients:

  • 150 grams pizza dough
  • 100 grams of chicken meat
  • 50 grams of cheese
  • 1 onion
  • 150 grams of champignons
  • Ketchup
  • Mayonnaise
  • Fresh dill
  • Green peas (for decoration).

Recipe for Christmas tree pizza with mushrooms and chicken:

For pizza, you can use ready-made dough, or make your own dough. We still recommend store-bought pizza dough. It is more convenient for preparing Christmas trees.

Roll out the dough into a thin layer. Cut out a Christmas tree with a sharp knife. Carefully transfer to a greased baking sheet. Coat well with a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup. If you wish, you can add a little adjika.

Our aromatic Christmas tree pizza is ready. We decorate it with sprigs of fresh dill, on which we hang balls (green peas).

If you are a lover of rather savory food, then this Korean meat recipe is simply made for you.

Today we will cook beef according to a Korean recipe. The secret of preparing this dish depends on three things: the quality of the meat, the properly prepared marinade and the method of cooking the meat.

When choosing beef, you should give preference to tenderloin, fillet or steaks. We will cut the meat thinly across the grain. This will make it easier to chew.

Beef should be marinated for quite a long time. It is best to pour marinade over it and leave it overnight. The marinade will help tenderize the beef.

You can experiment with the marinade by changing the amount of ingredients to your taste. Or you can come up with your own marinade.

As for the cooking method, the best option here is charcoal roasting. This way our meat can be saturated with smoke and become even more flavorful. However, often, cooking over coals at home is simply impossible. In this case, we can make beef in a frying pan.

Ingredients:

  • 450 grams of beef tenderloin.

For the marinade:

  • ¼ cup onion puree
  • ½ pear
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 bunch of green onions
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or 1 tablespoon brown and 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar)
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 carrot.

Korean meat recipe:

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl. Add thinly sliced ​​beef there. Mix well so that the marinade covers all the meat completely.

Immediately after this, you can start frying the beef in any way convenient for you. However, it is still better to let the meat marinate.

Marinating time is at least 30 minutes. If we want our meat to be thoroughly saturated with flavors and aromas, we leave it in the refrigerator overnight.

After the beef is marinated, we begin to fry it in any way. It is better, of course, to use a grill. But in its absence, a frying pan will do just fine.

This recipe can also be adapted for vegetarians. We use the same marinade. However, instead of beef, we put mushrooms in it. Since we are looking at the Korean recipe, we should take shiitake mushrooms. We will need 10 - 12 pieces. You can also add a few porcini mushrooms.

Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for several hours until they become soft. Next, squeeze the water out of the mushrooms and slice them thinly.

We also chop porcini mushrooms, carrots and onions. We put everything into the marinade. Leave to marinate for about 30 minutes. Then fry in a frying pan.

Here are the most, in our opinion, unique recipes for hot dishes for the New Year 2018. Use, choose and enjoy the result.

Place the curd cheese in a deep bowl and add parmesan, grated on a fine grater, finely chopped olives and pepper.

Lay cling film on the table and lay out lettuce leaves, and put pita bread on top. Carefully cut into 4 even pieces. Place the filling on each piece and carefully roll into rolls. Use your fingers to form a triangular shape. Now the rolls need to be put in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Then take it out, remove the cling film and cut into small pieces. Place each piece on a skewer. Place half an olive at the base of the Christmas tree.

Ingredients: 300 grams of cod (you can use fresh or canned), 7 potatoes, 3 eggs, 2 cucumbers, 1 bunch of green onions, 400 grams of cheese, 1 red and 1 yellow pepper, 1 pack of mayonnaise and seasonings to taste.

Boil the cod, separate from the bones and chop finely. If you took cod in a jar or other fish, just mash it. You need to mash the potatoes. Finely chop the eggs or grate them on a fine grater. Now you need to mix all the ingredients, seasonings and add mayonnaise so that you can roll into small balls.

Now you need to color the balls. To do this, you need to chop the pepper, cucumber, and green onions very finely on different plates. Each ball should be rolled well in one of the plates and placed on a plate.

You can use any products to color the balls, it all depends on your taste preferences.
