Traditional dishes on the table are paintedeggs, Easter cakes and cottage cheese. I will not dwell on the recipe for these dishes. And I will tell you about some of those that we have been preparing in our family for several years. In the menu of the Easter table we have snacks, a hot dish, dessert, light pastries and drinks. Every year we are still trying something new.
This year, as an appetizer, I cooked eggs incase. To do this, you need to take a few cleaned boiled eggs, stick them with minced meat from the chicken. Then roll twice in a raw whipped egg, and then in breadcrumbs and fry in vegetable oil. Finished balls cut in half and nicely laid out on a plate. It turns out beautiful multi-colored rings in a cut. On the perimeter of the plate can be decorated with greens or rings of cucumbers.
On a hot dish, we cook chicken in a pot withvegetables. As I already wrote, all the recipes for the Easter menu are light, so the main course is prepared from easy to digest meat. Sometimes we are lucky, and we get rabbit meat from the village for the holiday. Then I bake a rabbit in the oven with potatoes and apples.
In the process of making rabbit I divide intoportioned pieces, add salt, spices in mayonnaise, mix everything thoroughly and smear pieces of meat with this sauce. I pre-fry the rabbit first, and then the carcass in the frying pan for twenty minutes. During this time I cut potatoes with round-shaped flakes, I smear in the same sauce. I cut apples into four parts and sprinkle with sugar.
On a greased tray I spread layers of potatoes,on top of the pieces of semi-finished rabbit, then a layer of potatoes and apples. I put in the oven for forty minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees on the middle shelf. Five minutes before cooking, sprinkle the top with grated cheese. Sugar with apples and cheese gives the dish a unique taste. This combination should just try, I think that you will definitely like it. This dish we often prepare for many holidays, so the question what to cook for Easter from the hot, we do not arise.
Every year from puff pastry I bake a pie onEaster with eggs. After coloring the eggs, we always have eggs with cracked shell, here they go to salads and pie. To make a pie, you need to prepare chicken forcemeat, make a ring from it and put it on a greased baking sheet. In several places, cut the eggs cut in half, yolk up, and between them slices of puff pastry wrap around the ring of minced meat and arrange sprouts for dough decoration. Bake in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees for about forty minutes. It turns out an original and beautiful dish, only you need to make sure that the cake does not burn.
The Internet offers different recipesEaster menu as a dessert. But we at home make everything much simpler and more original. Ready cakes we buy in the store, cut off and give an oval shape. Together with the cakes we buy on the tiles of black and white chocolate, which is melted in a water bath. White chocolate coated on the upper cortex, lay out the mosaic on top of the sliced colored marmalade. And melted black chocolate, mixed with butter, draw on the edges of the pattern.
It turns out to be sweet to tea original,colorfully decorated and delicious Easter egg. Between cakes spangled with condensed milk or jam. Sometimes we bake shortbread cookies. We have molds of lamb, chicken and ducks. Often from pieces of dough used for baking cake, I bake a bird or lamb. Such delicious souvenirs we give to all guests when we exchange eggs and Easter cakes. They really like it.
I generally think that to look for or inventrecipes for the Easter menu are not necessary. It is enough to show ingenuity and imagination and then any favorite dish can be decorated according to the holiday. Any salad can be put in an oval dish, shape the eggs, decorate with greenery around. Top with chopped nuts around the edges of the salad, and in the middle - cranberry letters XV, and you will get a salad for Easter.
From drinks we put on the table Cahors, juice, cranberry fruit juice, cherry compote and hot tea.
Such recipes for the Easter menu do not require much time and effort. Prepare quickly, easily, but it turns out delicious, satisfying and beautiful!
