After the holiday

It happens that many products remain after the holiday. So, from vegetable and sausage cuts, you can cook soup-hodgepodge, make a kind of gravy for a side dish, and cook a casserole from the remaining side dish and hot. If there are a lot of products left after the celebration, then some can be frozen in the refrigerator, for example, chicken, meatballs, sausage, pancakes and cheesecakes, fish and many others. So they will remain fresh and significantly reduce the time for cooking in the future, it will be enough just to get them out and warm them up.

Complete the list. What options for delicious and inexpensive dishes do you prepare for the holiday?

Well, of course, you should start with recipes for hot chicken dishes, since chicken is “universal” meat and not at all difficult to prepare. The easiest option is a festive chicken baked in the oven, but not ordinary, but “orange” - with a delicate, golden fried crust. You can also bake chicken in the oven in an amazingly delicious marinade of ginger, honey, lemon and soy sauce.

To cook baked chicken in the oven, any parts of the bird are suitable for the festive table - for example, according to the recipe “Chicken with Oranges”, you can take not the whole bird, but, say, chicken drumsticks, thighs or legs. But for the classic holiday recipe - tobacco chicken - it will be necessary to buy the whole bird carcass in advance.

If you have dried fruits and nuts on hand, you can cook an original dish - baked chicken breasts: dried fruits and garlic, combined with soy sauce, will provide a spicy, pleasant taste to the finished chicken. And during the zucchini harvest season, you can pamper guests at the festive table with unusual "boats" of zucchini with minced chicken.

As a kind of "snack" option, you can cook dietary chicken rolls with apples and steamed apricot jam - the finished dish will be very tasty both hot and cold. Another option for such a festive dish is spicy chicken rolls with a side dish of baked vegetables. And for lovers of spicy fried snacks, the classic dish is ideal - baked chicken wings.

Barbecue recipes for the festive table

Shish kebabs are a dish that can be cooked not only in nature, but also at home, and without sacrificing taste - by cooking kebabs according to the original recipe in a jar, you can even achieve a fragrant "smoke" of the finished meat. In addition, a festive barbecue can be cooked in a pan or in the simplest way - in the oven. The meat, as in the case of ordinary charcoal / grilled kebabs, can be absolutely anything - from chicken to pork or even lamb.

Festive hot dishes from different cuisines of the world

Another very simple way to diversify the usual composition of the festive menu is to use original recipes from different national cuisines of the world. So, for example, you can start your acquaintance with world cuisine with the preparation of tawai - this is a casserole of minced meat and potatoes from Syrian cuisine. The dish is prepared very simply from quite ordinary ingredients, and the result is - you will lick your fingers. Also, for the festive table, you can cook Turkish Hassan Pasha cutlets or delicious Greek moussaka from zucchini, eggplant and minced meat.

Festive lamb dishes

If in the usual, everyday menu, hot dishes are often chicken, pork and beef, then lamb dishes are usually rarely seen on the table. But on a holiday, you can just afford to cook something original from this “capricious”, but, with the right recipe, amazingly tasty meat - for example, bake a lamb leg or neck in the oven with olive oil, garlic and spices. If you can afford to devote a little more time to painstaking work in the kitchen, be sure to try cooking classic lamb and beef kebabs - the most tender meat will surely be appreciated by the guests gathered at the festive table.

Holiday chops recipes

The classic chop - juicy, tasty chunks of meat - is found, under various names, in many cuisines of the world. Representatives of the stronger sex will especially appreciate this simple but amazingly tasty dish - for example, on February 23, Defender of the Fatherland Day, you can please your men with delicious walnut breaded pork chops - or a Neapolitan Milanese chop with mozzarella cheese, tomato paste and spices.

Unusual hot dishes for the festive table

The festive menu differs from the usual, everyday one, not so much by the need to use some exotic ingredients, but by the need to spend much more time preparing dishes. However, the result in any case is worth the effort, and even the most unusual dishes do not always take a lot of time. So, for example, the most original appetizer - bagels stuffed with meat - is generally prepared in less than an hour, and it will take approximately 30 minutes only to bake in the oven. No less easy to prepare and one of the favorite festive hot dishes - meat in French. If you want to impress the guests at the festive table with something completely unusual and very, very tasty, try baking pork in champagne with mushrooms and vegetables in the sleeve in the oven.

Sometimes a situation happens that there is no time to cook a tasty and rich feast. And the holiday is approaching, and the guests are literally “on the threshold”. What to do? First, there is no need to panic. After all, the main thing is the warmth with which you will meet your guests. Prepare entertainment and ideas for spending time together. Secondly, stock up on recipes for quick and easy meals. They will save the situation more than once when a festive dinner needs to be prepared as soon as possible.
