Complete the list. What options for tasty and inexpensive dishes do you prepare for the holiday?

If the holiday is "taken by surprise" and there is no way to spend a lot of time preparing a variety of culinary masterpieces, you can always use a number of quick and delicious recipes for holiday dishes. It is worth adding such recipes to your culinary "arsenal" - and you will always be "fully armed" for any holiday.

Quick recipes for hot on the festive table

Of course, no festive meal is complete without hot dishes. But what if the guests are already on the doorstep, and there is simply no time to cook the same, for example, traditional fried chicken? The answer is simple - there are a surprising number of quick hot recipes that will take literally 20-30 minutes. For example, these are unusual "pancakes" made of spaghetti with mushrooms, herbs and cheese - the dish looks delicious and is extremely easy to prepare. In case of force majeure, you can store a pack or two of egg noodles in the kitchen cabinet, which cooks very quickly: in this case, an original Asian-style dish can be served at the festive table. A quick-and-dirty recipe is good not only because cooking takes 15-20 minutes at most, but also because, while preparing such a festive hot dish, you can fantasize endlessly, adding any greens that are in the refrigerator, disposing of any leftover pieces of meat.

Quick and delicious sweet recipes for the holiday

Something, but all kinds of desserts for the festive table can really be prepared in a hurry - only the right ingredients would be found. And first of all, this option of quick sweet dishes on the festive table is all kinds of cakes without baking. For most recipes for such cakes, even ready-made cakes are not required - just ordinary cottage cheese, sour cream and cookies and some frozen berries or jam will be enough.




If you have ready-made "store-bought" cakes at hand, it is absolutely wonderful: in a matter of minutes you can prepare a quick and tasty cake with the most delicate coconut cream for the festive table. However, ready-made cakes for the preparation of truly delicious homemade "pseudo baking" are not needed at all - you can use, for example, the most ordinary gingerbread. The finished "gingerbread" cake turns out to be no worse than the "store" one. If time permits, then you can prepare in advance a chocolate-coconut roll without baking for the holiday: it is made quickly and simply from the available ingredients (cookies, coconut, chocolate), but until ready the delicious dessert will have to be “frozen” in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.




If you show a little imagination, then without baking you can cook not only a birthday cake, but also a great variety of desserts. So, for example, dessert "Pleasure" will become an excellent decoration of the table without any effort and time consuming: in "baskets" made of crumbs of chocolate cookies there is an airy and very tender mass of cottage cheese and strawberries (berries can be used both fresh and frozen). From the same chocolate biscuits and condensed milk, you can make well-known cakes "Potato". If you have nothing at all at hand except cottage cheese, eggs and sour cream, you can serve an original cottage cheese casserole to the festive table, for the preparation of which neither flour nor semolina is required. Simple and delicious, this casserole resembles a classic cheesecake in consistency and taste.

Quick Gala Dinner Recipes

For the festive table to abound in a variety of dishes, it is not at all necessary to spend the whole day in the kitchen - it will be enough to use a couple of recipes for quick festive snacks. Try treating the assembled guests with miniature canapés with pate, rolls with curd cheese and herbs, or "rafaello" with cheese with walnuts and garlic - these snacks are perfect with wine and other festive alcoholic drinks.

Of course, the more original the appetizer looks, the better - after all, it is the design of the festive dishes that differ, first of all, from the “every day” menu. Even the most ordinary sprat sandwiches can be a great option for a holiday snack if you spend the extra 5 minutes decorating them. The appetizer with the self-explanatory name "Tomato salad" looks very beautiful - the best thing is that it takes only 10 minutes maximum. And in the same 10-15 minutes from the leftovers that are found in the refrigerator, it will be possible to prepare a traditional "haste" snack - stuffed eggs (the main thing is to find something to stuff them with).

Not only snacks, but also salads can be prepared from literally everything that you can find in the kitchen - if there is no time left to go to the store, you can prepare, for example, an original warm buckwheat salad. And if there is any canned fish in the house, the number of available options for holiday salads immediately increases tenfold. A salad made from a jar of canned tuna with eggs and cheese will turn out to be very tasty and festive. In addition, from any canned fish, if time permits, you can quickly prepare a variation of the classic holiday salad "under a fur coat" from potatoes, gherkins, beets, chicken eggs.




If the holiday really "caught by surprise" and there are no ingredients at all at home for preparing some kind of festive snacks or desserts, "lazy" minced pies would be an excellent option - for example, the original meatball pie or the hearty and delicious jellied lavash cake "Male Joy ". And even if the list of available products is limited to the very same lavash, sour cream, milk and eggs, it will be possible to prepare a quick "lazy" pie with cheese filling for the festive table.
