Top 10 cold snacks for any holiday

The approaching holiday excursions and makes it look forward to it. So it is already close, we pretend to be on the hot, buy a bottle of wine ... But neither one nor the other will decorate the table and will not give him such refinement as cold snacks. Here is a truly space of creativity for any mistress.

Cold snack and salad are decorated with the table, it is usually striving to decorate the figures from vegetables or just greens, it is on them that the guest comes to the table, they are called to impress all gourmets.

What cold snacks should be prepared for a festive table?

Let's start with the classics - jelly .

In ancient Russia, this dish has always been prepared for and. It was believed that this holiday should be prepared to cook pork, because the pig - the only of agricultural animals, did not come to congratulate the newborn Jesus.

• Pork steering wheel;
• pork legs - couple;
• bulcony beef - with kilogram;
• salt, peas pepper, laurel leaf;
• garlic - heads 3-4 medium;
• carrot.

Wash meat in a thoroughly, cut everything that does not like. Dice to cut or abruptly and rinse again. Carrovine cleaned. Put in cold water and cook on the smallest fire for quite a long time. If you cook in a pressure cooker, it will be much faster, but the broth will not be so transparent!

Carrot is designed to give the beautiful color of the broth, so that when everything is welded, it can be removed. Here it is no longer needed.

The broth is very careful to strain, not through the siete even, but through the siter with gauze: otherwise the finished dish can get a small bone. From the bottom at all do not drain in the colder, give the dog. An animal will be delighted, and the bone is nicking! Mixed in a spoon-spoons two broths and put in the refrigerator: this is a sample - whether it will freeze. And we go to disassemble the meat.

Here the main thing is not to miss the bones, on the one hand, and do not overgrow the dog - on the other. And then here it sits, with all his doomed species showing that it will be hard to help to deal with the contents of the pan, but the dog is because a man's friend, which is ready to risk ...

Meat is disassembled and chopped (you can skip through a meat grinder), finely rub garlic, you can skip through the press; Put in hot broth. It is not worth boiling garlic, he does not like too high temperatures.

We check whether our broth froze in the refrigerator. If yes - perfectly, if not, add a little gelatin, it will help the cold to frost. Gelatin now whatever you can not meet! We read the instructions and we do according to it.

If you want, you can somehow decorate somehow. If you are against such excesses, lay out meat forms and fill with broth. Waving to put in the refrigerator.

Before serving, depending on your design and appearance of the molds, you can take a keeper, gently turning the molds on the dish. And it is possible to file directly in the form, especially if the form is beautiful, and the holiday "for yours." The most delicious colder always turns out. Do not forget to file a good horse!

Another traditional cold snack - snack "Napoleon" .

• Ready-made puff cakes;
• mayonnaise in solid quantity;
• boiled screwed eggs - 5 pcs;
• ham - about 300 g;
• cheese - grams 500;
• marinated Walkers - half a breaker.

This dish is preparing very quickly, and it looks very impressive.

The cakes are literally slightly lubricate the mayonnaise, cover with the film and set aside. It is necessary that they softened a little bit.

Eggs three on a large grater, add to them grated cheese and mayonnaise - so much so that it was not too cool. Mass must be mazing, and not to be pulled out. Mix and retain this bowl while.

Starting can be chosen and the other. For example, champignons with bow (roasted slightly) and cheese; Boiled chicken with cheese and champignons, a fish low-voltage or canned food, vegetables (eggplant, sweet pepper, greens) finely chopped and extinguished with vegetable oil.

We cut the ham with a neat straw, postpone into another bowl. Marinated mushrooms are viewing and the most beautiful leaves for the decoration of Napoleon.

We start assembling. The first crude generously lubricates the egg-raw mass. Top put on top.

We put the second and pressed. This lubricant is only slightly, then put the ham and recall.

Put the third crude, again press. Not him - the remains of cheese with an egg. To decorate myself. Our cake is ready, but it is advisable to hold a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Prepare such a cake in.

Let's cook again rolmopsy And on this ending with the classics.

Rolmops came up with the Germans, the Poles, Swedes, Estonians adore. And we will try to file them for a holiday as a snack to vodka, especially for patriotic, which do not drink wine.

There is more than a dozen Rolmops recipes. Let's try assorted of two types.

In essence, Rolmopes is a roll of herring with a small amount of filling. Rolmopes relies slightly to help.

• So, the herring is 10 fillets;
• carrots - 2 pcs;
• onions - 3 heads;
• garlic - 2-3 teeth;
• capers - to taste;
• marinated cucumbers - 2 pcs (large);
• vinegar wine - 500 ml;
• sunflower oil is 100 ml;
• honey - tablespoon;
• mustard - tablespoon;

Carrots should be grate on a large grater, chop garlic, mix them and salt. The oil can be sewed to a boil, swing a tablespoon of vinegar. I will turn the carrots and let it stand until it cools down (and it is possible for longer).

Herring will look at the fillet. We are trying all the bones (you can use the magnifying glass and tweezers). Curbeds cut the cucumbers, capers, if they are large - by quarter or less. Lukovitsa chop and discollect slightly. Fillet to smear mustard, and half of them are also honey.

Serve, naturally, to potatoes and as a snack to vodka.

In some filicles (without honey), we wrap the pieces of cucumber and capers. In other (with honey) - acute carrots and passioned onion.

All Rollemopes scrape into the toothpicks or spedes, put in a bowl and foul marinade: Wine vinegar, pepper peas, brought to boiling and cooled to room temperature. I will fall asleep rings onions and leave marinated about a day in the refrigerator.

If you decide to arrange a buffet, ordinary snacks will not fit. Let's try to cook baskets or wrought with salad .

The baskets can be bought in the store: mess around with them before the holiday, when and so things are fully, irrational.

Worded for a short time to make themselves. To do this, slightly rolling the layer of puff pastry, cut out of it several circles more, and then out of half with a glass of small mugs to get "bagels". Large mugs with a slightly lining egg, put the "bagel" on top and bake for about 7-10 minutes.

In the process of baking the dough, the dough will be raised and the cups from the test can be filled with salad.

Filling salad can be taken any (see), but it's better not "raw": from crab sticks, from avocado, from boiled beet. You can also fill them with caviar, herring, chopped and mixed with creamy oil and so on. Surprise parents, prepared curls on.

To decorate a bundle table, the cake snacks are perfectly suitable.

In the melted cheese with greens add a spoonful of tomato, mix thoroughly. If the color does not like, add some more tomato.

Crackers scrape in pairs, asking the creamy oil.

On some cakes we will lay out a small piece of fish, and on top of a pastry syringe I will squeeze a beautifully creamy cheese. On the other - tomato cheese, decorate the leaf of parsley.
