But on the other hand, this is just a safety net so as not to forget anything. Done - crossed out the point. We checked - everything is crossed out - you can relax your spine and not think until tomorrow.

Day one.

1. Purchase of products.

2. Stuffing food around the refrigerator

3. Dough and green beans in the freezer, the rest in the refrigerator

4. Peel the garlic (all). Use some for boiled pork, the rest goes into the refrigerator.

5. Marinate the boiled pork. Stuff a piece of pork with garlic, making punctures with a small knife and inserting garlic cloves into these punctures. One head of garlic should be enough. Then coat the piece of meat thickly with mustard on all sides. Place in a bowl or container, cover with foil, poke a few holes in the foil and place in the refrigerator.

6. Beef on Olivier salad. Pour water, salt, cook for 45 minutes after boiling. Remove from heat and cool without removing from the broth. Once it cools down, take it out, wrap it in film and put it in the refrigerator. Strain the broth and cook soup in it.

7. Salt the salmon. Cut 1/5 of the salmon. Season it with a tablespoon of salt, sprinkle with red pepper and finely chopped dill. Cover with lemon slices. Wrap in parchment (baking paper). If there is no parchment, grease several A4 sheets with vegetable oil and wrap the fish in this greasy paper. Leave for a couple of hours at room temperature, then put in the refrigerator.

8. Sort the liver. Watch carefully to make sure there is no bile. If you come across such a piece, it is better to cut it off or immediately throw it away from the chicken liver. Rinse the liver well, cut into smaller pieces (if beef or pork). Place in a bowl, cover with film, make a couple of holes in the film and put in the refrigerator.

Day two .

1. Cook potatoes, half of what you bought. Fill with water, salt and cook until tender. Then drain the water. Place the cooled potatoes in the refrigerator overnight. We'll clean it tomorrow.

2. Cook carrots. Almost all of it. We leave one carrot for the pate. Cook it the same way as potatoes.

3. Cook the beets. Just like potatoes and carrots. We cook all the vegetables separately and be sure to add salt during cooking.

4. Bake boiled pork. Wrap the marinated piece of meat in several layers of foil and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes at 150 degrees in the oven. Cool the cooked boiled pork without unwrapping it and put it in the refrigerator.

5. Transfer the salted fish from the refrigerator to the freezer.

6. Prepare roulade for cold cuts. We cut the chicken along the back, you can cut out the spine. Unfold skin side down. Remove the bones. We trim the wings and cut off the bone from the leg. We also cut the legs. You should get a layer of chicken meat on the skin. If you damage the skin somewhere when removing bones, it’s not at all scary. Beat the meat a little and add salt. Separately, stir 5-6 eggs with a fork and fry a thin omelette in a wide frying pan. Transfer the omelette to a layer of chicken meat and roll it up. Wrap the roll in two layers of cloth or gauze. Sew or tie. Place the wrapped roll in a saucepan. Fill with water so that the water covers the roll by 2-3 centimeters. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to very low. Cook for an hour and a half. Remove the pan from the stove and leave to cool along with the roll. When it cools down, take out the roll and place it in a bowl, pressing something heavy on top. The remaining broth can be strained and cooked into soup - the New Year is still far away, don’t let your family die of hunger. Don’t throw away the bones from cutting up the chicken; put them in the refrigerator until tomorrow.

7. Cook pears for dessert in advance. Peel the pears, cutting them thinly with a potato peeler. We leave the cuttings. Place the pears in a saucepan. Mix 300 grams of sugar, 300 ml of water and the same amount of wine. Pour this mixture over the pears, bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the pears in the syrup to cool. When it cools down, take it out, put it in a plate, wrap it in film and put it in the refrigerator.

8. Wash the remaining potatoes well with a dishwashing sponge. And put it in the refrigerator.

9. Boil eggs. 10 pieces hard-boiled.

Day three. The most haymaking!

1. Peel boiled potatoes

2. Peel the beets

3. Peel the carrots

4. Cooking herring under a fur coat

5. Cut vegetables and meat into Olivier. Potatoes and carrots in one bowl. Pickled cucumbers separately. Meat (sausage) separately. Cover with film. We pierce the film in several places. We put it in the refrigerator.

6. Pour water over the green beans, bring to a boil, cook for 1-2 minutes, and drain in a colander. Cool, put in the refrigerator under film.

7. Chicken breasts. Trim the meat from the bone and cut it into strips. Place the meat in a bowl covered with film in the refrigerator. Bones - separately.

8. Pour water over chicken breast bones and whole chicken bones, add salt and cook after boiling for 40 minutes. Then place the bones in a colander; when they have cooled down, carefully remove all remaining meat from the bottom and chop finely. This chicken meat will be used as a filling for pancakes. And from the broth you can cook soup again or freeze it for hangover days.

9. Marinate two chickens, or duck or goose. Mix honey with a jar of mustard. We wash the bird and dry it, blotting it with napkins. And grease well with honey-mustard mixture outside and inside. Transfer the bird to a bowl and cover with foil. We poke holes in the foil - this should already become a habit - wrap it up - with a knife poke-poke-poke. Place in the refrigerator and let it marinate.

10. Valovany. Take the puff pastry out of the freezer and leave to defrost. It thaws very quickly - within an hour. While you are doing steps 12 and 13, it will already thaw. Unroll the dough roll. Use a glass to cut out circles. Each piece of dough makes approximately 14-16 circles. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for exactly 8 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. The finished ones are not rolled, but rather “puff layers”, cover with film and leave until tomorrow.

11. Wash the zucchini and paprika, cut into Hatei salad, and place in a bowl in the refrigerator under film.

12. Pate. Remove the liver. Add onions and carrots, cut into pieces. Salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes (stir while baking). Cool. Add butter, 1 stick.

21. Tomato sauce. Blend the tomatoes in their own juice with a blender or grind in a meat grinder. Add salt, sugar, vinegar. Bring to a boil, season with garlic (grated from the refrigerator, not all). Cool the finished sauce and put it in the refrigerator.

22. Pancakes. Make the dough and bake pancakes. Remove and place the stack of pancakes under film in the refrigerator.

Day four. Festive. We do everything slowly, without straining.

1. Set the table - tablecloths, plates, cutlery, wine glasses. Let's cover it early, don't be afraid. It won't cover you with dust.

2. Prepare caramel sauce for dessert. Melt two or three tablespoons of sugar in a dry frying pan or saucepan until caramel color. Then pour in the cream, slowly stirring the sugar. When we pour in all the cream, we continue to boil it until it thickens, and a little more. Stirring constantly with a whisk. Then remove and cool. You can immediately take a wide and slightly deepened plate and pour caramel sauce into it. When the sauce has cooled, place the pears that were poached in wine directly into the sauce. Tails up. Here, in fact, the gorgeous dessert is ready. You can immediately put it on the table.

3. Pancakes. Mix chicken pieces from the bones with Viola cheese. Lay out the pancakes and place the filling on the edge. Roll the pancakes into tubes and cut them in half diagonally. Place on a plate. Ready.

5. Take a piece of salted fish out of the freezer. After 15 minutes it will be thawed enough for slicing. Cut into thin pieces and place on a plate. Decorate with lemon slices and herbs.

6. Valovany. We take out the puff pastries. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off the top of each roll. Place 10 valovans on one dish. Place a small piece of butter in the center of each. Add two-thirds of a teaspoon of red caviar on top of the oil. One can of 120 grams is enough for 10 valovanov.

Place 20 other valovans on another dish, also cutting off the tops. Place a ball of pate in the center of the valovan. Pierce the pate with a decorative skewer with half a cherry tomato strung on it. All.

7. Cold cuts. Place the boiled pork, roulade and sausage in a fan on a large flat dish. Garnish with the remaining cherry tomatoes and herbs.

8. Fish skewers. Sprinkle the fish pieces with salt and dry paprika. Add lemon juice and vegetable oil. Stir and leave for 5-10 minutes. Then thread it onto skewers. Place the skewers on a baking sheet. You need to bake them for 10 minutes at 200 degrees in a preheated oven. Therefore, I advise you to put them in the oven when the guests are already at the table. And don't forget to set the timer!!! To avoid drying out the kebabs.

9. Tartar. The simplest version of the sauce. Served with fish skewers. Mix grated cucumbers, sour cream and mayonnaise. Add grated garlic and finely chopped dill.

10. Marinate the potatoes in advance, but not too much in advance. Cut potatoes with skin into large slices, add salt, add paprika, pour in vegetable oil and stir well. Before baking, store in the refrigerator under film to prevent it from darkening.

11. Cook Khatey in two frying pans. On one, fry the chicken fillet in strips with soy sauce. On the second, fry the zucchini with paprika (salt), pouring lemon juice. At the end of frying, add green beans to the zucchini so that it has time to warm up with all the vegetables. Then mix the vegetables with the chicken and place the salad on a plate. Ready.

12. Olivier. Mix vegetables with meat (sausage), pickles. Add green peas, boiled eggs (chopped), mayonnaise. Stir and place on a plate.

13. Don’t forget to put the tomato sauce on the table. It goes very well with hot potatoes.

When guests arrive, you will be left with:

1. Quickly bake and serve salmon skewers

2. Place the bird on a baking sheet

3. Place potatoes in wedges on a baking sheet

4. Get the apples (they are already washed and dry)

5. Place the bird and potatoes in the oven

6. Set a TIMER

7. Stir the potatoes every half hour

8. Every half hour, monitor the readiness of the bird, basting it with the fat released during baking.

9. An hour later, place the apples on the baking sheet with the bird and pour them with the same fat as the bird, then bake the apples along with the bird.

10. Potatoes are cooked for an hour, maximum - one and a half. The chicken takes an hour and a half to cook. Duck and goose - a little more. But not so much that your guests faint with hunger))

11. That's it. Let's relax and have fun.

Slicing options

What delicious things to prepare for the New Year 2018, so that it would be both interesting and appropriate on the festive table? Maybe a slice? We are used to buying ready-made sausage, ham, etc. in stores. What if you try to make something like this yourself, using new recipes?

Essentially, this is the same lard with meat streaks, prepared according to an Italian recipe. Pancetta takes more than one day to prepare, so it’s better to make it in advance in order to be in time for the New Year’s table.

• you will need a large, fairly fatty piece of brisket;
• chopped garlic;
• ground black pepper;
• chopped juniper berries;
• ground bay leaf and nutmeg;

4. Then we check the brisket. If the meat is uniformly elastic everywhere, proceed to the next stage. If there is looseness, leave it for another couple of days.
5. Wash the aged brisket, sprinkle with pepper and roll into a roll. We tie it with a rope at a distance of every 3 cm and hang it in a dark, cool and not dry place for 2 weeks.

The same brisket can be cooked faster. To do this, you need to rub it well with spices, roll it tightly into a roll, wrap it in gauze and put it in the refrigerator for a week. In this form, it turns out more tender, but without the characteristic dried taste.

Ingredients:

• 0.7 - 1 kg pork ham;

3. Wrap the meat in foil and place on a baking sheet.
4. Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 90 minutes.

Where to go on vacation during the New Year holidays

Setting the festive New Year's table, of course, begins with choosing the color scheme in which the table will be decorated. Multicolor is not welcome in this matter; two, or maximum three colors, more is already a sign of unrefined taste.

The mistress of the coming year is Pig. The colors she loves are yellow, red and light green.

If you plan to set the table in red, then you need to remember that this color generally prefers the proximity of only one color, and it is desirable that it be white, the combination of white and red generates strict harmony and solemnity.

Let's say the tablecloth is red, and the napkins, dishes and candles on the table are white. You can add a gold figurine of the hostess and yellow cutlery.

Or you can set the table in yellow-brown-gold tones, but you need to be very careful with gold so that the table does not look too pretentious and pompous. Rustic-style earthenware and ceramic serving utensils would be very appropriate on such textiles.

On a white tablecloth, green decorations will look very appropriate - napkins, a decorative Christmas tree or a spruce bouquet, green glasses, gold and silver dishes.

Well, now a few secrets:

• The textiles on the festive table should look perfect - carefully ironed, the tablecloth should hang over the edges of the table by at least a quarter of a meter.
• Napkins are always chosen either in a contrasting color or the same color, but a couple of shades darker.
• Covers on the backs of chairs to match the tablecloth will greatly decorate and add festiveness, sophistication and chic to the setting.
• A wide runner that matches the rest of the decor looks very nice on the tablecloth.
• Since the hostess of the coming year loves to eat, there should be a real abundance on the table; to save space, you can use large dishes on which several different types of cuts or snacks should be placed.
• Cutlery can be packed in openwork rustic napkins, tied with ordinary shaggy packing cord; of course, this is only possible when decorating the table in a rustic style.
• Decorate the stems of the wine glasses with rain, satin ribbons or glitter.
• When setting the New Year's table, small details that support the holiday atmosphere are of particular importance - beads and paper napkins with New Year's decor, Christmas tree decorations and even small pots with fresh flowers.
• A special place on the festive table should be occupied by the symbol of the coming year - a cute pig, and pair it with a dog - a symbol of the outgoing year.
• The surface of the salads can be decorated in the form of convex Christmas tree balls, using finely grated cheese, egg white or yolk for sprinkling and drawing patterns with mayonnaise.

The New Year holiday should be celebrated and celebrated brightly, in a circle of pleasant people and in a friendly atmosphere, then the year will be successful!

In the meantime, take my interesting and new menu for the New Year 2019 of the Pig!

Sweet banana liqueur for New Year

The preparation time for a luxurious New Year's drink is only 15 minutes.
Ingredients for cooking:

• Ripe bananas - 3 pieces
• Diluted medical alcohol or vodka - 300 ml
• Milk – 150 ml
• Condensed milk - 100 g

Peel the bananas and cut off all the brown spots and chop. Separate the egg yolks from the whites (do this carefully, we only need the whites). Using a blender or mixer, beat the egg whites, banana pieces and condensed milk. Gradually pour alcohol into the resulting mass. We put it in a cold place to “ripen” and filter it after half an hour. Then we pour the finished liqueur into chocolate glasses - it’s so easy to make them yourself!

4. While mixing the ingredients, gradually add alcohol.
