How to serve the New Year's table 2018
The Yellow Earth Dog loves its color, therefore, the main color of the interior and the New Year's table should be chosen from shades of yellow. The most winning option is gold. Of course, one should not think that all devices must be made of precious metal. Gold goes well with white, so use both colors together. But it is not recommended to mix gold with silver (gray) - this will immediately spoil the effect of solemnity.
A snow-white tablecloth with a golden unobtrusive ornament can serve as a symbol of your taste and restraint. 
Almost any dish can be used: from bright yellow shades to muted and noble brown. A variant of white plates with gold edging will be appropriate. Napkins should be chosen either to match the color of the tablecloth (well, if they are included and harmonize), or to match the color of the service, although the latter option is rather difficult. Golden candlesticks will complement the beauty of the decoration of the New Year's table.

Puff pastry - 1 pack (you can use thin pita bread);
Carrots - 1 pc.;
Bulgarian pepper - 2 large pieces;
Olives (you can olives) - half a jar;
Water - 150 ml;
Tomato paste - 2 tbsp. l.;
Sauce "Bechamel" - 200 ml;
Salt - 1 tsp;
Sugar - 2 tsp;
Spices: coriander, pepper, turmeric, Provencal herbs. 
To prepare this New Year's dish, you should fry the spices in oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped carrots and chopped peppers to them. After a few minutes, add to the mixture tomato paste and simmer until all ingredients are easily pierced with a fork. At the end of the quenching, the mixture should be sprinkled ground pepper, add Provence herbs and leave to infuse under the lid. At this time, prepare the dough / pita bread. Rub the baking dish generously with oil and spread the sauce over the surface, place a sheet of dough on top and spread about a third of the stewed vegetables on it. Top with sauce again and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat this for each layer until you run out of filling. Garnish the last layer with olives and sprinkle with cheese.

It's very original and delicious. And for those who like seafood, this will be the best dish on the holiday table. There are many types of shrimp canapes. You can choose according to your taste.
For the first type of canape with shrimp, you will need:
- king prawns;
- pitted olives;
- lettuce leaves;
- cucumber.
Shrimps need to be thawed and boiled. Then clean the shrimp, to do this, remove the head and shell. Cut the cucumber and tear the lettuce leaves. Next, use your creativity. You can arrange the ingredients however you like. But here's an interesting option if you don't feel like fantasizing: first pierce the shrimp, then pierce the olive and the other end of the shrimp. Stick a piece of lettuce, to do this, bend it in several layers and complete the design with a cucumber.
Canape with cheese
For the second type you will need:
- shrimps;
- pitted olives;
- lemon;
-cheese.
First, boil the shrimp, peel them. We cut the cheese into cubes, in size, should not be smaller than a shrimp, but not very small either. Approx 1*1 cm. The lemon also needs to be cut into triangular slices. Follow. So that the slice is not very large, otherwise the appetizer will be too sour and this will spoil the whole taste. On a skewer we prick a shrimp in two dreams, then a lemon and an olive. The olive should be pricked across the long side. And then we string a piece of cheese.
There are many such options, you can arrange it so that the snack is sweet and sour, it will be very piquant and unusual. So, for example, a very interesting combination is cheese and kiwi. Just fantasize.
Snack in the form of Christmas trees
Cooking:
From a piece of 600 grams, two rolls are obtained. It is necessary to cut it into two parts, and cut each part almost to the end, leaving one cm. Alternately beat off both pieces, covering them with cling film. It is necessary to beat off carefully so that the meat turns out as thin as possible, but carefully.
Season the broken pieces with salt, pepper and seasoning for meat on both sides. Cut peppers and cucumbers lengthwise into thin slices, leeks diagonally into thin rings. Put a few slices of pepper, cucumber and 2-3 onion rings on the edge of the beaten meat. Roll up both pieces and tie with twine or thread.
Fry the rolls in a saucepan on all sides, then pour in brine or broth, add soy sauce and simmer under a lid for 30 minutes over low heat. During this time, the rolls must be turned over several times. Alternatively, fried rolls can be baked in the oven, pouring broth and soy sauce mixed with juices obtained from frying. Cover with foil and bake at 180 degrees for 40 minutes.
Put the finished rolls on a dish and remove the thread. The liquid left after stewing is used to make the sauce. To do this, it must be heated almost to a boil and add starch diluted in a tablespoon of water. Stir, remove from heat and pour into saucepan.
Cut the roll into portions and serve on a common dish, garnished with greens. The sauce is served in a gravy boat or poured over a sliced roll.
The appetizer is prepared very quickly - only 15 minutes, and the dish turns out to be unusual in appearance and delicate in taste. For cooking you will need following products:
- pasta in the form of large shells;
- lettuce leaves;
- any cheese, preferably with blue mold;
- Cream;
- walnuts.
You need to start by boiling the shells in very well-salted water, then put them in a colander and pour over cold water. Put the walnuts on the grill, cook for about 3 minutes. After that, the nuts need to be cut with a knife, but not very finely. For the sauce, whisk together walnut oil, oil (olive) and vinegar. Salt and pepper everything.
Cheese for the filling needs to be crumbled, it is advisable to use a fork for this. Whip the cream until stiff, then stir in the cheese and cream. We put the resulting filling into shells and pour over the sauce.
To make the appetizer look beautiful, you need to put it on lettuce leaves, and sprinkle more nuts on top. Serve immediately, otherwise the taste will dull a little.
Attention! When choosing cheese, it must be borne in mind that in the end it should form a homogeneous mass with cream.
Pike stuffed
If there is on the table gefilte fish, unequivocally - in the house a holiday. Since ancient times, this dish has taken pride of place, both in the festive and New Year's menus. To cook stuffed pike, the first step is to clean it and remove the skin. To do this, we make cuts in a circle near the head, without touching the giblets. So you, simply by pulling on the head, will pull out all the giblets without suffering and without spoiling the skin of the pike. Peel off the skin gently with your fingers. Near the fins, you can help yourself with a knife, only so as not to damage the integrity of the skin. Separate the flesh of the fish from the bones and make minced meat out of it. Add more to it chopped meat(preferably fatty), its volume should be approximately the belly of the stuffed fish. 1 large onion finely chopped and sautéed sunflower oil until golden. Also take a large carrot, peel, grate on a medium grater and lightly fry. Mix the minced meat, onion, carrot, loaf and season everything with salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the pike as well as the head after removing the gills from there. Sew the head to the body stuffed pike. Lubricate the fish with sour cream for a beautiful and tasty crust, then bake the pike in the oven at 180 degrees for about 2 hours. Put the finished fish on a dish next to the greens and sprinkle with mayonnaise on top when it has completely cooled down.
Snacks using salted red fish are very popular now. They are tasty, salty and tender. To prepare our appetizer you will need:

You can either buy salmon or cook it yourself. Most importantly, it should turn out lightly salted. Cut it into slices. Depending on the thickness of the slice, you will get a different amount of snack: the thinner, the more.
The cucumber should be cut into thin and long strips. If the skin is hard, it must be removed. Greens can be added or not - a matter of taste, the type of greens can also be chosen independently.
Let's get straight to cooking. We spread the pita bread in full width, grease it with cheese, much attention should be paid to the edges. Then you need to put pieces of salmon and cucumber into it, and then we turn the pita bread so that nothing spills. It turned out a long tube, which we cut into pieces with a sharp knife (a blunt one will simply break the pita bread and flatten the contents).
Greens can also be put inside the pita bread before laying out the fish and cucumber.
