The New Year's menu is a well-known topic, and any housewife knows by heart the list of dishes that traditionally appear on the table on the evening of December 31st. However, in the last decade, the traditions of the celebration began to "overgrow" with many additions, most of which are accepted with pleasure. No one refuses familiar and favorite dishes, such as Olivier, herring “under a fur coat” and aspic, but the menu of the New Year's table has become much richer. There were not only forgotten foods and drinks according to classic Russian recipes (for a long time we simply did not have the necessary products), but also dishes from cuisines from around the world. When compiling the menu, we think not only about taste and benefits, but also want to surprise our guests with our art, bring joy to ourselves, and please the symbol of the coming year “in full”.

In 2017 we expect a Red Fire Rooster, a generous but sensible Master, who loves everything simple and natural, but welcomes brightness, diversity and originality. How to combine all this? You can remember good taste and the fact that the best dishes are obtained from the simplest products, without exotic ingredients and seasonings.

Let's try to figure out what the Rooster may like or dislike. These birds are considered almost omnivorous: in peasant farms, chickens are often fed what remains “from the table”, and they eat worm bugs as willingly as cereals and greens. But chickens (and, accordingly, roosters) are much more inclined towards a vegetarian menu.

What the Rooster likes and dislikes

Cereals should be given preference, but this does not mean that you have to cook porridge from wheat, oatmeal or millet. Cereals are part of many dishes, and especially baking of various types: the Rooster likes baking, and there are endless possibilities for housewives.

Small sandwiches and canapes with crispbread, vegetables, fruits, cheese and herbs are an excellent choice. In general, there should be as many fruits and vegetables of the red-orange range as possible; loves Rooster and fresh greens, crumbly potatoes, and cottage cheese, and he won’t refuse other “milk”.

Any fish dishes, like seafood, may be present in different variations, but red fish, due to its rich color, is more suitable.

Meat is not so easy. A vegetarian table for the New Year will suit only a few, and although there are more such people, meat adherents remain in the vast majority. And chicken meat occupies not the last place in our diet: it is easy to cook, it is tasty and healthy, dishes from it have long been included in various diet menus. However, meeting the year of the Rooster, you should definitely refrain from eating chicken meat - with the current abundance, this is not difficult. The meat of other birds - ducks, geese, turkeys, etc., is also better to remove from the menu. Quite enough pork, veal, lamb, beef, rabbit meat, and not in the form of canned food or semi-finished products: please the Host with the environmental friendliness and naturalness of the dishes. If we talk about the “ideal feast” in the year of the Rooster, dishes with eggs should also be avoided, but this can be “ignored”.

Holiday desserts are a great way to appease the Rooster: make cakes and cupcakes, cakes, pies and bright cookies that depict him luxurious and majestic - "in all its glory."

With drinks, too, “there is where to turn around”, preparing them yourself. It is believed that cocktails are pleasing to the Rooster, and not only because of the brightness and variety, but also because the name of these drinks, which came to us from the English language, means nothing more than “cock tail” - “cock tail”; at least this is one of the common versions.

Several suitable recipes

Salads prepared in the original form are desirable on any holiday table, and for the New Year of the Rooster, they are the best.

“Rooster tail” is not only called drinks. There are also salads with this name, with bright and juicy ingredients. Bake a small piece of pork in foil (300-400 g); cut the red onion and sweet red bell pepper into thin half rings. Cool the meat, cut into thin strips, mix with vegetables. Add 200-250 g of boiled red beans (you can buy canned, drain the juice), 2-3 tbsp. chopped walnuts and a handful of pomegranate seeds. You can also add a jar of bright yellow Bonduelle corn - this will not hurt, and sprinkle the salad with fresh herbs. You don’t need to season with mayonnaise, but a mixture of lemon juice with balsamic vinegar and olive oil will make the taste brighter and the color of the vegetables will not mask. Salt and pepper - to taste, but you can replace them with soy sauce.

The Rooster will definitely like the next salad: original and beautiful, with a combination of cereals, nuts and fruits. Cut 2 large green apples and a large orange into slices, tear 4-5 green lettuce leaves into medium-sized pieces, mix everything with wheat germ (a glass), chopped hazelnuts (2-3 tablespoons) and granular cottage cheese (200 g), Add your favorite herbs to taste and drizzle with olive oil. You can buy wheat for sprouting in the supermarket, in the health food section; start sprouting about a week before use.

The guests will like hot potato “nests” with pork, and the Master of the Year will also like it: the main thing is that more vegetables are served with them. Eating meat or fish without a large amount of fresh vegetables and herbs is not recommended at all this New Year, and this pleases us: we are not threatened with heaviness in the stomach, and it is more comfortable and pleasant to have fun and dance after a light meal. For 500 g of potatoes - about 250 g of pork, a large onion, 50 g of soft cheese, a raw egg, 3 tbsp. flour, 2-3 cloves of garlic, a little oil and salt. Potatoes are boiled in salted water and mashed with flour, eggs and butter. Finely chopped pork is fried in a pan almost to readiness, along with onion half rings and crushed garlic. A sheet of baking paper is placed on a baking sheet, the puree is placed in a pastry bag, squeezed onto a baking sheet in the form of small nests, a mixture of pork and onions is placed in them, sprinkled with grated cheese and baked in the oven for 25 minutes at 180 ° C. The dish will be tastier and lighter if you add mushrooms to the meat.

The original appetizer of salted red fish can be prepared with the same name as the salad described above. A multi-colored rooster's tail is laid out from cut pancake rolls and skewers strung with bright ingredients. You need to bake thin pancakes in advance: the more there are, the more magnificent the tail will turn out. Cream cheese is spread on each pancake with a thick layer, a thin piece of red fish fillet, a couple of sprigs of fresh herbs are placed and rolled up. The rolls are cut obliquely to get ovals about 1.5-2 cm thick: all layers of the filling will be visible - light, red and green. Dark olives, pieces of fresh cucumber, 1/2 cherry tomatoes and a piece of white cheese in the form of a cube are strung in turn on wooden skewers, and all skewers are laid out in a semicircle on one side of a large dish: olives facing the edge, cheese inside. The cut pieces of rolls are also laid in a semicircle, closer to the middle of the dish, in 3-4 tiers, overlapping, one on top of the other: they form the inner part of the tail. The outer tier is adjacent to the cheese - skewers form bright end feathers. A small cockerel is laid out from salted crackers, a beak and a wing from tomatoes, and an eye and paws from olives. If desired, you can bake the body in advance, from pancake or other suitable dough.

Dessert can also be unusual. Instead of a cake - a delicate rice pudding with sour cherries or strawberries. Wash rice (150 g), bring to readiness on the smallest fire, in milk (0.5 l) with sugar (50 g) and salt to taste. Cool, mix with gelatin prepared in advance (the method is indicated on the package), put in the refrigerator. Rinse berries (400 g) (frozen - thaw), dry slightly, put in a glass salad bowl or bowl in layers, alternating with rice: a layer of berries, a layer of rice. Top with cream (250 g), whipped into foam with a bag of vanilla sugar, sprinkle with grated chocolate.

Basic principles of table preparation

Thinking over the festive menu, it should be remembered that the Rooster prefers prosperity combined with simplicity. So, the New Year's table in 2017 should be varied, satisfying, but without unnecessary frills and delicacies. It is best to take traditional Russian cuisine as a basis. The menu should be dominated by all kinds of vegetables and herbs. However, this does not mean that meat should be abandoned - choose any meat other than poultry. Appetizers and salads should be light, without the addition of mayonnaise.

The rooster also loves sweets, so dessert dishes must be present on the table, preferably portioned. As an aperitif, light cocktails are suitable. Offer guests liqueurs, liqueurs, tinctures and wines for the main course.

Festive snacks and salads for the New Year 2017

Of course, you should not refuse to cook the Olivier salad, beloved by all family members, or “. Puff salads can be presented both in the traditional form and in the form of rolls. But heavy, hearty salads should be on the table as little as possible. The best dressing for salads is vegetable oil (sunflower or olive). If you cannot imagine life without sauces, it is better to cook them yourself from natural products, because the Rooster does not tolerate artificiality, and there will be less harm to the body from such food. To prepare mayonnaise, thoroughly beat 2 eggs, 3 tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp mustard, a little salt and pepper and 1 tbsp. olive oil.

We must not forget about the appropriate design of the festive table for the new year 2017, the year of the fiery Rooster. Be sure to have red elements, whether it be a tablecloth, napkins or dishes.
