First of all, in the atmosphere and on the festive table, tiger colors and colors should dominate. Place a bright orange tablecloth, place the room with candles - bright yellow or striped, bicolour, corresponding to the interior. In the center of the table should be placed a metal vase filled with fruits of yellow and orange colors. In general, we are preparing for the New Year a room for celebrating, as usual, but we do not forget about such nice nuances, have we agreed?
As for eating on the festive table, it should be in abundance. Given that the "responsible" for the coming 2010 Tiger is called Metallic, it would be a crime not to pay attention to this nuance. Well, of course, do not forget that the Tiger is a predator! So it is necessary to submit to the table plenty of meat, and cook it best on skewers. Not everyone is able to get out to celebrate the New Year for the city, where it becomes possible to organize a winter shish kebab. But even in the conditions of an average apartment you can get out if you have a modern oven!
So, we are preparing for the New Year meat on the grill . First of all, you should buy the meat itself, best of all, if it is a tender young pork. Prepare a marinade of red wine, honey, grape vinegar, olive oil, garlic and spices to your taste. It is best to use red and black pepper, rosemary, sage, mint. Pour the chopped meat portions of this mixture and leave in the refrigerator for a day. Shortly before the celebration, put on the skewers and quickly fry on the grill - you will get delicious, juicy meat. Garnish can be served generously flavored curry fries.
Of course, on New Year's Eve is never without salads. We always prepare for the New Year " Olivier ", each hostess has his own recipe, but in anticipation of 2010, we recommend a little to adapt a well-known salad to Tiger's requirements. First of all, you should add there carrots, cooked or raw - this is as you wish. In addition, green peas can be replaced with corn. In general, these bright vegetables of suitable colors can and should be used almost in all salads for this holiday. For example, a beautiful ornament of the table will be carrots in Korean . You can buy an authentic version of this dish from the owners of Koreans in the market, and you can do it yourself. However, it is unlikely that you can quickly and easily find traditional Korean spices, which are the essence of salad.
As for desserts, a fine option would be roasted peanuts covered with caramel. The recipe is simple, but it will require hard work, if you decide to separately roll in the caramel each nutlet. Therefore, you can simply lay a thin layer of peanuts in small forms, pour the prepared caramel and allow to cool, and then cut into squares - you will get original homemade sweets. Also, a wonderful dessert will be the bananas soaked in cognac and roasted on the grill, on which it is possible to depict "tiger stripes" with melted chocolate. We are preparing for the New Year and getting ready for a new happiness!
