Festive table on hastily

Recently, I had to assemble a festive table in haste. There was little time for cooking - only 2.5 hours + another 1 hour - for a quick run to the store for everything you need. I did. It turned out very tasty, the guests were satisfied.

I will tell you how you can allocate time, have time to collect the table and not get very tired. And what to cook for guests in a hurry.

What should be on hand

• Good knives (a sharp small one and 1 large one are enough for me);
• Cutting board (can be 2);
• Grater (large and small);
• Several bowls for cooking and mixing dishes;
• Spices (which you usually use);
• Apron;
• Dishes for table setting (plates-forks-spoons-glasses-glasses-glasses and utensils for tea-coffee: cups-saucers-plates for cake-teaspoons), napkins, a jug for drinks (for compote, juice), tablecloth.
• Dishes for serving dishes to the table and tablespoons (for laying out salads and other dishes);
• Utensils for cooking (pots, pans, kettle).

In addition, the house needs clean hand towels, toilet paper, soap. Maybe slippers if you and your guests usually wear them.

I cooked in a foreign country. Therefore, I took with me: an apron, spices (dried basil) and a grater (suddenly not in the house). If you go to cook in someone else's house and are not sure if there are convenient knives there, I advise you to definitely grab your own, proven ones.

What can you buy in the store

We proceed from the fact that time is running out. Therefore, complex salads, for which you need to boil and cut a lot of different ingredients or lay them out in some special way, are not suitable for us. They can be taken, but only ready-made. Yes, I know that ready-made salads are evil, but we have an urgent men's birthday. Here - either everything from the supermarket's cooking, or we still have time to cook some of the dishes ourselves, giving the table a homely look.

With our own hands, we will only do what is prepared quickly. The principle of distribution of forces is as follows:

1. A few homemade quick and easy meals.
2. Some prepared food (1-2 salads, 1 meat). This is to guarantee something to feed if we do not have time to cook.
3. Snacks - something that will be a delicious addition to dishes or diversify the table, but does not require cooking (sausage, cheese, olives, cherry tomatoes, fruits, sweets and other snacks).

I write only what I chose for a particular birthdayfor 7-8 people. And you are guided by the situation.

Procedure

Stewed cutlets

Hard boil eggs- Cook 9 pieces, the tenth raw - in minced meat. Share in cold water, bring to a boil, cook for 10-12 minutes. Cool in cold water.

• Prepare minced meat for meatballs: Break 1 egg into minced meat, add oatmeal (1/2 or 2/3 cup), grate a couple of garlic cloves (fine grater) and 1 onion (large grater) into it. Add a pinch of basil. Salt. Knead. Let it stand while we peel the potatoes - just the flakes will swell, absorb excess moisture.
• Salted cucumbers cook and then peel potatoes(put in water, set to boil 40-50 minutes before the guests arrive). Fast Cooking salted cucumber slices: wash, cut off the tips. Cut each cucumber in half and rugs into 4 slices. Slices (as they are cut) are thrown into a container or jar and salted on top. A few sprigs of dill and 2-3 cloves of garlic - chop, add to the cucumbers. Close the lid and shake vigorously for 2-3 minutes. Then leave at room temperature before serving (under a tightly closed lid). You can shake it periodically (when you remember them - shake them, they will be better salted).

  

  Pickled cucumbers

• fry cutlets- heat the oil in a frying pan, form cutlets and fry them on both sides until a small crust appears. Fried - put in a pan, at the bottom of which a layer of oil is poured. When all the cutlets are in the pan, add 2/3 cups of cool water, cover with a lid (or slightly open it if there is no steam outlet in the lid so that the water gradually evaporates) and simmer over low heat until cutlet smells appear (30 minutes) . Be careful not to burn.



Eggs stuffed with salad

Stuff eggs- Peel hard-boiled eggs, cut in half. Take out the yolks, mash them with a fork. Add finely grated: processed cheese and 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped onion (1/2 head). Mix. Season with a little mayonnaise. Stuff the eggs with the resulting salad (in 1 egg - 1 teaspoon with top). It is not necessary to tamp, let them be with a slide. I decorated with dill and a piece of sweet pepper (yes, we didn’t buy it, I found it in the owner’s refrigerator, but this is not necessary). 4 eggs fit on a dessert plate (7 halves in a circle + 1 in the center), I had 9 (18 halves), the extra was squeezed in somehow. Before serving, each plate can be placed in a plastic bag (so that the bag does not come into contact with the eggs from above, let air in). And refrigerate until serving.

• Cut sausage and cheese. I cut the sausage loaf lengthwise into 2 parts and then into thin semicircles across the loaf. You probably cut the same way. Put the cuts on plates, insert them into bags and also put them in the refrigerator so that the cuts do not deteriorate and do not get windy.
• Making Pineapple Salad. Put pineapples in a bowl (pieces or cut rings into slices), grate cheese (hard, like Russian) there - a coarse grater, garlic (2 cloves) - a fine grater. Closer to serving, mix, season with mayonnaise.

Along the way, you need to set the table - entrust this to someone from home or run around yourself in between cooking. Set a table, cover with a tablecloth, arrange plates, lay out napkins (put additional ones in a napkin holder), forks. Put glasses and glasses. Bring drinks to the table. Put the bread on a plate (cover with a napkin or also put it in a bag for now).

• Assemble the table: gradually lay out everything ready meals into salad bowls and plates and transfer to the table. You can immediately put bowls with olives and olives (they will not deteriorate); pickled cucumber-tomatoes; put the herring in the herring box, add the onion chopped in semicircles to it (half of the stuffed eggs). Cutlets will just reach, potatoes will be cooked (drain water, salt, add oil, ceiling). I also cut a lemon for tea (I sprinkled the circles with sugar to make it tastier, but - whoever likes it). Remove salads and cuts from the refrigerator right before guests arrive so that they do not spoil.
