New Year's table for meeting 2019

On the eve of 2019, the influence of the Yellow Dog ends and the Yellow Earth Pig (Boar) becomes the totem animal according to the Eastern calendar. The wild boar in Eastern culture is considered a symbol of stability, including financial.

It will be nice if you decorate the feast with a figurine of a pig, near which you can put coins or decorative bills

In order not to anger the Pig, astrologers do not recommend cooking pork dishes. The way out in this situation will be snacks and hot poultry and beef. The boar does not really like fish, but hearty dishes of vegetables, cereals and legumes will come in handy.

Salami, prosciutto, homemade lard with veins - all these delicacies will have to be removed from the New Year's menu

In addition, be sure to prepare homemade cakes for the table. Lush pies and pies - this is what will delight both households and the economic Boar.

Compositions of fruits and vegetables will not only delight the symbol of 2019, but also serve as a great decoration for the New Year's table

It is quite possible to compose a magnificent New Year's menu from the dishes recommended by astrologers. The only inconvenience is the traditional jellied meat, which many consider the main course of the festive feast. But there is a way out: cook it from turkey, not from pork legs.

Recipes for a festive feast

The recipes presented are perfect for the 2019 meeting, as they are tailored to the taste preferences of the Yellow Earth Pig.

Jellied turkey

Salad with chickpeas and baked pepper

This dish is high in protein and contains both vegetables and legumes.

Chickpeas are unlike ordinary peas, beans, soybeans, or other types of legumes - there is a slight nutty flavor in its taste

Components:

• 300 g chickpeas;
• 5 red peppers;
• 2 tomatoes;
• 1 red onion;
• 1/2 tsp black pepper;
• 1 tsp salt;
• 1/2 tsp l. Sahara;
• 2 tbsp. l. lemon juice;
• basil greens;
• 3 tbsp. l. olive oil.

Recipe:

1. Soak the chickpeas overnight.

   

   Soaking the chickpeas will shorten the cooking time.

2. Boil for 2 hours.

   

   For a faster heat treatment, add one teaspoon of baking soda to the chickpeas.

3. Place on a sieve.

   

   The water from boiling chickpeas can be cooled and used as a basis for vegetable soup

4. Bake the peppers in the oven. To do this, place it on a wire rack and keep it in the oven at 200 ° for half an hour.

   

   To make the peel of sweet pepper easier to remove, you can grease its surface with vegetable oil before baking

5. After cool, remove the skin, remove the seed boxes and cut the peppers into pieces.

   

   Be careful when peeling baked peppers - the flesh of the vegetable becomes very soft and can turn into puree

6. Chop the onion.

   

   Choose a sharp knife for slicing onions into salad

7. Cut the tomatoes into cubes.

   

   It is better to choose tomatoes that are dense and without a lot of juice.

8. Combine chickpeas and vegetables. Squeeze lemon juice.

   

   It is more convenient to squeeze lemon juice in a separate bowl.

9. Combine olive oil with lemon juice and seasonings. Pour over the chickpeas with vegetables. Mix everything.

   

   Olive oil and lemon juice - a classic vegetable salad dressing with added legumes

10. Decorate the prepared salad with basil leaves, let it brew for 2-3 hours and serve.

    

    You can use mint leaves instead of basil for salad dressing.

Veal medallions in wine sauce and mushrooms

Delicate slices of veal soaked in wine sauce are an excellent dish for a festive table. For a side dish, baked potatoes or basmati rice will be appropriate.

Basmati rice has a special aroma and extremely delicate taste, such a side dish is very appropriate on the New Year's table

Ingredients:

• 800 g of veal;
• 1 onion;
• 2 stalks of celery;
• 300 g of champignons;
• 3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• 150 ml of water;
• 150 ml of dry red wine;
• 5 tbsp. l. flour;
• 1 tsp salt;
• 1/2 tsp black pepper.

Instructions:

1. Cut the meat across the fibers into 2–3 cm wide slices.

   

   Cut the meat with a very sharp knife

2. Dip them in flour on both sides.

   

   Flour breading will reliably seal meat juice during frying

3. Fry the medallions on both sides (1 tablespoon oil).

   

   The dish will look very aesthetically pleasing if you fry the meat in a grill pan

4. Dice the onion.

   

   Cut the onion with a sharp knife so as not to lose the aromatic juice

5. Finely chop the celery stalks.

   

   Celery must be fresh and juicy, otherwise the sauce will not thicken to the required consistency

6. Fry vegetables (1 tablespoon oil).

   

   Toss vegetables in hot oil to cook evenly

7. Cut the champignons into quarters.

   

   Coarsely sliced mushrooms will keep their shape

8. Fry the mushrooms in hot oil (1 tablespoon) for about 3-4 minutes.

   

   Be sure to stir the mushrooms as often as possible during roasting.

9. Put the medallions in a saucepan, place the fried vegetables and mushrooms in the same place, add seasonings, pour in hot water (40–45 °). Shake the contents and pour in the wine.

   

   Use dry wine, as semi-sweet will distort the taste of the finished dish

10. Simmer for 60–70 minutes. Serve hot.

    

    Due to prolonged stewing, the meat turns out to be incredibly soft, and the sauce is rich and very aromatic

The New Year's menu is a headache for many housewives. After all, I want the dishes for the festive meal to be not only tasty and beautiful, but also suitable for each specific occasion. Therefore, many people draw up a menu in advance and think about what to please not only households and invited guests, but also a symbol of the coming year.

A pig is a detailed animal and loves to eat well. The basis of his diet is vegetables, grains and nuts. To please the tastes of the Yellow Boar, my family decided to decorate the table with compositions of small serving baskets filled with small autumn apples, peeled nuts and homemade cookies.

Having laid the New Year's table in accordance with the tastes of the Yellow Earth Pig, you can count on his favor in 2019. Arrange yellow and red candles, decorate the feast with baskets with fruit compositions and congratulate your friends and family with new happiness.
