What should be New Year's dishes in 2017?

It is worth noting that the Fire Rooster will become the symbol of the future 2017. And such a bird is quite bright, quick-tempered and impulsive, but at the same time simple, domestic and easy-going. The rooster will stand up for himself and for his charges and show who is the real master in the house, or rather, in the chicken coop.

He feeds mainly on grains, but he also does not mind eating vegetables, fruits and breads. And all these qualities and preferences of the rooster should be taken into account when drawing up the New Year's menu and set the main characteristics of the dishes.

So, New Year's recipes in 2017 must meet the following requirements:

• Brightness. Yes, the rooster is bright in itself, and its fieryness should only add color. So feel free to use bright ingredients
• Ease. In any case, New Year's dishes should be as light as possible, this will allow, firstly, to respect the rooster (after all, it is herbivorous), and secondly, to prevent overeating and heaviness in the stomach.
• Simplicity. Yes, the rooster is still a villager, so he will not tolerate "overseas" and too complicated dishes on the New Year's table. Still, you should not use long-term "boring" and "hackneyed" recipes. Just ditch exotic ingredients whenever possible and rely on unusual and unusual combinations of common ingredients.

What products to use?

What to cook for New Year 2017? Before compiling the menu, you need to understand that on the New Year's table in no case should there be chicken, and even birds, in general, as this can anger the patron saint of the year, the Fire Rooster. As a result, you run the risk of incurring problems for the next twelve months. But this does not mean at all that the set of dishes and their composition will be few and boring!

So which products should you use?

• Vegetables. They must be present on the menu without fail, and in large quantities, in different variations and types.
• Fruit. Moreover, they can be used not only for making desserts and for serving the table, but also for creating various salads and even hot dishes.
• Greens. What rooster doesn't like greens? Therefore, there should be as much of it as possible, but it must be fresh and beautiful, and not faded. It can be used not only as an additive to dishes or seasoning, but also to decorate a festive table.
• Cereals and cereals, their patron of the year is also very fond of. Therefore, serve rice instead of mashed potatoes as a side dish.
• Flour products. Their rooster will certainly approve, so feel free to put trays of sandwiches, pies and other pastries on the table. And replace ordinary store-bought bread with homemade bread, and with spicy and unusual additives such as caraway or sesame seeds.
• Meat. If you can't imagine a New Year's table without it, then use lamb, pork, veal or beef. But not a bird, don't forget about it!
• Dairy dishes, for example, sour cream, which can be used instead of mayonnaise to dress dishes (by the way, this is an easier and healthier option). Also, be sure to add various cheeses, they will complement and transform both hot dishes and salads and snacks.
