New Year's holiday is inconceivable without champagne and delicacies. It is necessary to raise glasses filled with a sparkling drink, make a wish - it will certainly come true, tested by experience. To energy was key, it is worth taking care of a variety of snacks - original, light and certainly delicious. Not a bad version of the buffet. By the way there will be all kinds of canapes, sushi, slices of cold foie gras, fruit, tiny cakes. Their preparation does not take long. The next year will be held under the sign of the Yellow Tiger. He, as is known, loves meat - it and make the basis of the New Year's menu. You can cook shish kebab, steaks on the grill, as a side dish, baked vegetables and potatoes. Drinks pick up the color of the skin of the animal - yellow, red, amber, especially orange and tangerine juices, cognac. Treats should be very different, so that the house during the year was a full cup. Cut traditional Olivier to the accompaniment of "The Irony of Fate" - another New Year's ritual. I think that he got tired of many, so you need to take care of another, more original food. Do not spend a lot of time cooking - it is better to devote an extra hour to your beloved. To ensure that both wolves are fed and the sheep are whole, I offer several favorite recipes.
Very opportunely will be a chicken with ginger. You will need four chicken breasts without skin, half of peeled and sliced pineapple, two onions, 1 tbsp. l. fresh grated ginger, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tbsp. l. cane sugar and lime juice or lim it, 1 tsp. sauce Tabasco and tomato puree, salt and pepper to taste. In the meat, make deep incisions, lay out the baking sheet, alternating with pineapple slices. Finely chop onion, mix with ginger, Tabasco sauce, tomato puree, salt, pepper and pour the chicken. Cover and bake in the oven, heated to 200 degrees, for 30 minutes. It is especially good to serve a dish with fried fruit. By the way, they will become an original dessert. Solid, non-overripe fruit - nectarines, peaches, plums, pineapple, bananas. Just cut the fruit in half or cut into thick slices - so that they do not fall through the grill barbecue.
Very good after the meat comes the pineapple with ginger . To cook it, cut two small fruits, cut them in half, then into slices. Fry on the grill on both sides for about 8-10 minutes, pour over the ginger syrup and serve. It is possible with ice cream.
Sparkling wine on New Year's holiday is sacred, but one can not do it. Cook some great cocktails. A very delicious "Diamond Lagoon". You need to mix 150 grams of Bitter Lemon with 20 grams of dry vermouth, and 20 grams of vodka. Add crushed ice and serve in a glass of thick glass, adorned with a slice of lime. A very festive drink is a punch. Mix in the shaker for 1 part of orange and pineapple juice, white rum, 1/4 part of cane sugar syrup. Then add a little grenadine, shake and pour over the glasses over the ice.
If you are too carried away by cocktails and other hot, I can recommend an excellent antipohmelin.
You will need: a glass of tomato juice, an egg, a few drops of Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper to taste. All the ingredients are thoroughly mixed - the drink is ready. In my head it clears up almost instantly - it is checked up on myself. In general, do not get hung up on eating and drinking. Communicate, dance, have fun - and the New Year will surely bring the best. Holiday greetings!
