What is the New Year associated with? With sparkling snow, a fluffy Christmas tree, Santa Claus and gifts in his bag and, of course, with holiday treats. New Year is unthinkable without a hospitable, plentiful table, elegant and satisfying.

The upcoming year of the Yellow Earth Dog is very demanding and brings some culinary contemplation. Let's share some of them.

What does the dog not like?

The list of products that the hostess of 2018 does not favor is quite limited, since the dog is not a picky animal in gastronomic terms and is almost omnivorous. But, nevertheless, its "omnivorous" has some limits.

Some types of meat. There are no dog dishes on the New Year's table-2018. Joke! But in every joke, as you know, there is some truth. And the Koreans, for example, are not far from it. Horse meat is also not recommended for New Year's use. It is said that dogs and horses have a complicated relationship. It is better not to upset the hostess of the year. We need her favor!

Fully Vegetarian New Year's menu. The main type of dog food, even ordinary, not even astrological, is meat. And therefore, the New Year's table-2018 will look strange without meat dishes. We will save the carrot and cabbage menu for the Rabbit or Goat.

Fish assortment. Dogs are inquisitive creatures and they can try shrimp and bite the chop with a piece of fish, but, nevertheless, we will not mix sour with fresh, that is, Dog and Cat, and move the fish menu aside along with mushroom delicacies.

Fatty meals. Hearty menu does not mean fatty. Heavy food, oversaturated with fats, lies on the stomach with an unbearable burden and attracts with a magnet to the sofa. But what about games? What about fun? What about slides and fireworks? A dog is a very active animal that loves entertainment and fun. No need to turn it into a Pig, which will determine the menu in a year. In the meantime, we welcome 2018 and avoid fatty New Year's treats.

On a note: also do not be zealous with sugar, salt and spices. The Dog has a keen sense of smell and a sense of success and good luck. No need to dull it!

What do we feed the Yellow Earth Dog?

meat! In all its manifestations - rolls, meatballs, aspics, chops, steaks, kebabs, steaks, stews, goulash, roast beef, shank, cuts, sausages, pates, stews, carbonades ... And a lot of other meat yummy. Please the Dog! And she will answer you with mutual love and devotion. She's good at it.

The dog loves bones. You will please her very much if you choose a meat dish on the bone for the New Year's table: a rack of lamb, for example, or a chicken Kiev.

root crops. Do not forget that the Dog will come not simple, but Earthy. To emphasize this feature of it, we put on the New Year's table root crops in various modifications and what ripens in the ground - peanuts, for example. Of course, the most obvious and common Russian root crop is the potato. He has a place on the New Year's table as a side dish for meat. Turnips, rutabaga, carrots, radishes can also take part in the 2018 New Year's meal.

yellow and orange fruits. The dog is expected to be Yellow. We put on the table a vase with fruits - yellow apples, apricots, oranges and tangerines, amber melon and tender pineapple. A great New Year's dessert - easy and healthy!

Conclusion: the main concept of the New Year's table-2018 is hearty, simple, plentiful and varied, with an emphasis on meat dishes.

And now let's make a simple but tasty New Year's menu for the Yellow Earth Dog.

Snacks

Snacks are an important part of the holiday table. They disperse the appetite, prepare guests for the main hot dish and form the first impression of the table. Let's not deceive the Dog's expectations and give her what she loves the most - meat in the form elegantly served cold cuts. Bouzhenina, smoked sausage, carbonate, ham, thinly sliced, rolled up and appetizing roses, pleasing to the eye and whet the appetite.

Tip: for the preparation of cold cuts, you should use a wide knife or slicer. The thinner the slice, the more variations you will have to create voluminous compositions on a plate.

Check out our recipes for delicious hot and cold snacks for the New Year's menu for the Year of the Dog.

Chicken rolls with egg and olives

Delicate, melting in your mouth, beautiful and easy to prepare, these rolls will undoubtedly impress the hostess of the year and will be the first to disappear from the plates of the New Year's table.

We will need:

• chicken breast- 2 pieces of medium size;
• chicken egg - 2 pieces;
• canned pitted olives - 1 can (the color and size of the olives do not matter);
• cheese - 100 g (it is better to buy packaged cheese, already cut into thin slices or sticks);
• mayonnaise - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• flour - 2 tablespoons;
• parsley or dill - for decoration.

How to cook chicken rolls with olives.

• We cut the chicken breasts in half - “booklet”, that is, not completely. We need a wide and flat piece so that later we have something to roll into a roll. We beat off the resulting piece - without fanaticism! Chicken meat, in itself, is quite tender and does not require such efforts from the hammer as pork.
• We pepper the beaten chicken fillet, salt, grease with mayonnaise and leave it alone for a while - marinate.
• Break the eggs, beat, add flour and fry a thin omelette cake. There is one “highlight”: in order to give the omelette some piquancy, we crumble some olives into a beaten egg.

Important: do not combine the eggs! 1 egg + 0.5 tablespoon flour = 1 omelette.

• Let's start assembling. Put an omelette on the beaten chicken breast. Attach a stick of cheese to the edge of the breast. If the cheese is in slices, then put slices of cheese on top of the omelet.
• The resulting composition is tightly rolled up with a sausage. We fix it with a toothpick so that it does not turn around. The result should be 2 rolls - one from each breast.
• Frying is the final step. Roll the rolls in flour and fry in sunflower oil in a heated frying pan. Fry over low heat and under a closed lid - for a more uniform heat treatment. On each side - 15 minutes, that is, only 30 minutes.

You can replace the frying stage with baking. In this case, the oven temperature should be 180 °, cooking time - 30 minutes.

We serve: we wait for the rolls to cool down and cut them into rings, 3-4 cm thick. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.

God! What a flavor! The dog is already scratching at your door!

In this recipe you can use cheese mixture feta and cream cheese.

Hot appetizer "Meat nests"

An original and extremely easy-to-prepare recipe for a hot New Year's meat appetizer. The crispy texture of baked dryers filled with meat and cheese should please the Dog.

We will need:

• drying - 0.5 kg;
• chicken egg - 1 piece;
• cheese - 200 g (fat content does not matter);
• mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon;
• salt and spices - to taste;
• lettuce leaves - for decoration.

Cooking method

• We bring minced meat to perfection. This means that we make it more fragrant and tastier - add salt, spices, mayonnaise and an egg to the minced meat. We mix everything well.
• We start drying. The minced meat brought to perfection is placed inside the dryers. On average, 1 teaspoon of minced meat with top is placed in one dryer. But don't be greedy! Put the minced meat with a slide, otherwise the Dog will think that you feel sorry for the minced meat for her.
• We bake. The filled "nests" are sprinkled with grated cheese on top, laid out on a baking sheet covered with a sheet of parchment paper, and sent to the oven. At an oven temperature of 200 degrees, the "nests" will be ready in 25 minutes.
• We serve. We lay fresh lettuce leaves on a flat plate and there are already “nests” on them, ruddy and terribly appetizing.

This appetizer is served slightly chilled so that the Dog does not get burned by swallowing them one by one.

• Cooking flavored stuffing. Parmesan is rubbed on a fine grater, the olives are cut into small pieces, the basil is chopped and chopped, the pepper is cut into small squares. We combine this "crumble" with curd cheese and mix. It turns out a white mass with multi-colored splashes.
• Creation of a Christmas tree. We spread the finished filling-mixture in an even layer on the strips of pita bread and roll it up with a tight roll. This step needs to be careful. We make sure that the cling film does not climb inside the roll.
• Next, we give the roll a triangular shape with our hands and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  We cut the cooled roll into isosceles triangles 3-4 cm thick. We pin a piece of olive to the base of each with a toothpick or skewer.

All! The Christmas tree is ready! We spread our coniferous forest on a plate and send it to the New Year's table!

• We stack middle layer. It will be almond-egg. First, chopped roasted almonds are sprinkled. Then, on top of it - boiled eggs grated on a coarse grater.
  The second layer can also be smeared with mayonnaise. But you can skip this step.
• We make the finishing layer - cheese. Grated cheese is laid out on top of the eggs and leveled with mayonnaise.

We bring beauty. Grapes will represent the Christmas tree. To do this, we wash it, dry it, cut each berry in half and “cover” the top of the salad with grape “flakes”.

The main dish of the New Year's table - hot recipes

Before proceeding to the recipes for New Year's hot hits - 2018, let's outline the general concept.

1. Of course, the central dish in the Year of the Dog should be meat. It’s great if yellow fruits or vegetables join the meat - a tribute to the Yellow Dog.
2. It is excellent if it is not a simple civilized chicken, but, say, a wild duck or a rabbit. Game is a canine specialty by definition.
3. Double pleasure for the Dog, if the meat is on the bone - this is a delicacy squared! And finally, full compliance with the New Year's concept-2018 - meat with potato side dish- a vegetable grown in the ground. This is already a culinary nod to the Earth Dog.

So, it's time to decide what to cook hot and tasty for the New Year 2018.
