Wash the mushrooms and cut into pieces. We clean the onion from the husk, cut into two halves and cut into thin half rings. Adding a tablespoon of vegetable oil, fry the mushrooms in a pan with onions until golden brown. Salt to taste.

Remove the skin from the potatoes and rub on a medium grater.

We clean the chicken eggs from the shell and three on a grater.

Wash parsley and wild garlic with water, dry and finely chop. We spread the finely chopped mass in grated eggs. Instead of wild garlic, you can add a couple of cloves of garlic passed through a press. We lay out the grated potatoes and eggs with herbs in separate bowls and mix with mayonnaise in equal proportions.

Boiled meat cut into cubes.

We will lay out the salad in layers. We take a flat plate, put a small bowl in the center and grease the edges with odorless vegetable oil. We spread a layer of grated potatoes with mayonnaise in a circle.

Now lay out the pieces of boiled meat.

Grate hard cheese and sprinkle over the top of the dish. Easter salad is ready!

Now let's take care of its decoration. Quail eggs are peeled, placed in water with the addition of food coloring(I used red, blue and yellow colors) and hold for 10-15 minutes. Then we take them out on a paper napkin, dry them, cut them into two halves and put them on the sides of the salad. We leave three or four eggs whole and put them in the center. Next, put fresh herbs in the middle of the dish and, if desired, pieces of vegetables (also fresh). If you have time, instead of food colors, you can take natural ones (turmeric, beet juice, carrots, blue cabbage) and color the eggs with them.

We send the finished dish for a couple of hours in the refrigerator so that all the ingredients are saturated with mayonnaise.

Easter is a great and bright holiday for all Christians. And so we always have a special relationship with him. Already from Friday, on the eve of the holiday, it is necessary to cook and put it infused in the refrigerator, and on Saturday from the very early morning it is necessary, yes. In order to have time to take both to the church, to sanctify, as it should be in the Christian tradition.

And in addition to these basic treats for the holiday, on Sunday you need to cook an Easter lunch or dinner. If the whole family manages to gather at the table at this time, then it will be just wonderful!

There will just be an opportunity to congratulate each other on this day, to kiss each other, that is, to kiss three times and break Easter bread, or Easter cake, together.

In today's article, I want to offer you holiday menu, that is, those dishes that can be prepared for the arrival of guests in this Light Christ Sunday. All of them are not very complicated, they are prepared quickly, easily and simply. They can be prepared both for the holiday, and later, and on weekdays.

For any holiday, each hostess prepares a menu in advance, while trying to take into account the status of the event, the preferences of guests, their personal skills and abilities.

Today we are compiling a menu for the Easter table, and therefore we would like salads and appetizers to match this theme. So what can be included in this list?

In my opinion, it can be everything related to the theme of the holiday, that is, it can be a salad in the form easter egg or wreath, rabbit; salads decorated with eggs can also be painted with food coloring; salads, reminiscent of the arrival of spring, that is, with images of flowers, a green lawn and butterflies, or bees, ladybugs on her.

Even if you are preparing your tried-and-true and favorite ordinary salad, then add some zest to it, corresponding to the occasion, that is, decorate it in the form of a flower, the sun, or “plant” a bumblebee or dragonfly on it. Or just come up with a name, be sure to add a word that reminds us of such an important day, of the arrival of spring, of the revival of nature after hibernation.

2. Cut the onion into small cubes. So that it is not bitter, it can be lightly fried in vegetable oil, or placed in a marinade of water and a small amount of vinegar for 20 minutes.

But if the taste fresh onion If it doesn't scare you, you can leave it like this.

3. Cucumbers cut into small cubes.

4. Divide the cheese into two equal parts. Grind one of them on a coarse grater, add this part to the salad. And rub the second part on a fine grater and leave for decoration.

6. Put the chopped chicken breast, onions, chopped cucumbers, cheese, grated on a coarse grater and yolks into a large bowl. Salt and pepper to taste, mix and season with mayonnaise, or mayonnaise mixed with sour cream.

7. big dish lay out salad leaves and put the resulting mass on it, giving it the shape of a rabbit.

8. Top with cheese first, and then grated on a fine grater proteins. Thus, we have formed a rabbit coat.

10. Put the salad in the refrigerator for two hours, so that it cools.

So beautiful and delicious salad we got it.

And you can decorate the salad a little differently, where the ears are made of a pink sheet of paper.

By the way, do you know what the rabbit (hare) has to do with Easter? In general, this symbol plays one of the main roles in Europe and America for the holiday. It is he who hides in all sorts of secluded places multi-colored chocolate eggs. And on Easter morning, the kids need to find a rabbit nest to find them and feast on them.

In the West, it is believed that a chicken cannot lay such beautiful colored eggs, but just the magic Easter Bunny is quite capable of it.

In general, a rabbit (hare) is a symbol of fertility and wealth. And although it is not our Orthodox symbol, let there be a lot of both of these for all people on earth.

2. Pickled cucumbers also cut into small cubes.

3. Grate carrots, potatoes and eggs on a coarse grater. Rub the apples on a coarse grater and sprinkle them with lemon juice so that the flesh does not darken. If the apple has a thick skin, then it must first be peeled to make the salad tender.

4. Prepare a salad bowl and put all the ingredients into it in layers, first herring, then potatoes, carrots, eggs, cucumbers, apples. Spread each layer with a small amount of mayonnaise.

Here is another soup recipe.

Egg soup with tomatoes

This soup was cooked by my grandmother. Being very religious, she observed all fasts and celebrated all religious holidays. So she certainly cooked this simple soup for Easter. She said she was breaking the fast for them. In fact, I myself don’t cook this version of the soup so often, but here’s the tradition of adding an egg to a chicken or fish soup I just took over from this recipe.

And although the composition of the products does not contain meat, I included it in this section. Where else could he be placed?

We will need:

eggs - 6 pcs
tomato - 2 pcs
onion - leek - 1 pc.
onion - 1 pc.
potatoes - 4 pcs
garlic - 2 - 3 cloves
dill - bunch
vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. spoons
grated orange zest - a pinch (grandmother did not add this ingredient)

salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

1. Remove the skin from the tomatoes, scalding them with boiling water, cut the flesh into thin slices and remove the seeds.

2. Cut potatoes and onions into cubes, smaller onions, larger potatoes. Onion - cut the leek into rings, chop the garlic and dill.

4. Pour 1.5 liters of water, add potatoes, garlic and orange peel, as well as saffron, or turmeric, salt and pepper to taste.

Grandma didn’t add orange zest to her soup, this is already my find. I met her once in one of the recipes, I tried it, I liked it, and since then I have been using it in cooking.

5. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Then add chopped tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes.

6. Break the eggs into a bowl, shake with a fork into a masher and slowly pour into the broth, while actively stirring so that the egg does not gather into a lump, but is distributed evenly.

There is another option where the egg is not shaken, but added whole. In order to get such a soup, all the eggs must be broken one at a time, first into a cup, and then carefully poured into the broth. At the same time, no longer mixing it to keep the egg intact.

7. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes. Then pour into cups and, if desired, add chopped greens.

Then put them on a plate to cool down quickly.

2. Cut the loin into 1 cm thick plates. Then put a piece of meat on a cutting board, cover with cling film so that the fibers are not damaged during beating, and also so that the meat juice does not splash and beat off on both sides.

9. Then put in hot oil and fry for 15 - 20 minutes, periodically turning the rolls over for even frying on all sides.

10. Serve such rolls well, or just with oven-baked potatoes. Well, or if you wish, prepare any other side dish.

Great tasty and simple recipe that everyone will like, I'm just sure of it.

On the festive table, you can cook both chicken and turkey. And here are some recipes.

Chicken with garlic marinade, baked in the oven

I made this chicken recipe yesterday and it's still very fresh in my mind.

We will need:

chicken - 2 chicken thighs
canned pitted olives - 175 gr
lemon - 1 pc.
garlic - 2 heads
seasoning for chicken - 1 teaspoon
zira - 0.5 tsp
balsamic vinegar - 1 teaspoon
olive oil - 2 teaspoons
salt, ground black pepper

Cooking:

1. To begin with, we should marinate the chicken. You can take any chicken meat. I took two legs for two servings. You can also take chicken drumsticks, and breast. Or you can cut a whole chicken into portions and use it for cooking.

2. Peel and push one head of garlic through a press. In a small bowl, mix garlic, chicken spices, cumin, salt and black pepper. I crushed whole peppercorns for a more substantial flavor.

3. Add balsamic vinegar, olive oil and two tablespoons of warm boiled water. Mix. You should get a fairly thick dark brown mass.

4. Spread it on the prepared chicken pieces. Rub the mass directly into the skin from all sides.

If you take more chicken than I have in the recipe, then increase the ingredients for the marinade.

5. Put the meat in a bowl, cover with a lid, and leave to marinate for 1 - 2 hours. I marinated for an hour and a half.

6. Then put the chicken in a baking dish, preferably with a lid. If there is no lid, then prepare the foil.

7. Cut the lemon into small slices, about 8 pieces and arrange between the meat in random order. A whole head of garlic, right in a fur coat, cut across and put also in a mold.

8. Put the olives on top of all this beauty, and pour the juice from the package on top. I had 175 grams of olives in the package, if you use olives from a jar, then there will be more of them. But I would put them all, since the olives are obtained in this combination just for the glory.

Also add half a glass of boiled water.

9. Close the form with a lid or foil and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Bake until the chicken is ready. Pieces of different sizes will bake for different times.

10. After about 25 minutes, remove the mold and pour the juice from the mold over the top of the chicken. Then put it back in the oven for another 20-25 minutes.

11. Remove the mold again and pierce with a sharp knife in the thickest part of the chicken meat. If the chicken is ready, then light juice will stand out, if not, then red juice will stand out. In the second case, pour over the juice again and put it back in the oven, bake until tender.

In the first case, pour over the juice, and without closing the lid, put another 15 minutes. At the same time, reduce the temperature to 180 degrees.

12. Then take out, let stand for 10 - 15 minutes and serve with any side dish.

candied fruits - 50 gr
almond petals - 50 gr
orange peel - 1 tbsp. a spoon
rum - 0.5 cups
nutmeg- 0.5 tsp
vanillin - a pinch
salt - a pinch

Cooking:

To cook the Easter lamb, you need a special form. You will not find such forms on sale so often, but you can find them. But if you don’t have a form, and you don’t plan to purchase it, then just take the dough recipe as a basis. You can bake Easter rolls and cupcakes from it, as we cooked.

And in the next video recipe, a plot will be offered on how to cook an Easter lamb or lamb without a shape.

1. Rinse the raisins the day before cooking and soak them in rum. It will soak and become very tasty.

2. To knead the dough, first you need to prepare a dough. Mix sugar and yeast in a bowl. Add three tablespoons of flour, sifted twice. It is better to sift the flour all at once, so that later you can add as needed.

3. Pour in slightly warm milk and stir until smooth. Then cover with cling film and leave for 20-40 minutes so that the dough “comes to life” and the so-called “cap” appears on its surface.

4. To knead the dough, pour the remaining flour into a large bowl, add a pinch of salt, ground nutmeg, vanillin to it, or you can add a bag instead vanilla sugar. Mix all dry ingredients.

5. Add the dough and orange zest. Mix with a spatula.

6. Cut the butter in advance into small pieces and let it stand so that it melts slightly. Use oil with at least 82.5% fat. Add 1/3 of the butter to the flour mixture and stir.

7. Knead the dough with your hands. It will be somewhat dry, but try to knead it as it is, then all the products will disperse and the dough will be as it should be.

But you can still add a couple of tablespoons of warm milk if necessary.

8. Put the dough on the work surface and knead it by stretching. It will crumble a little and not obey, do not pay attention to this, in the future we will introduce the remaining oil into it and it will turn out to be the desired consistency.

9. After kneading the dough for 10 minutes, put part of the butter on its flat surface, roll up the envelope and continue kneading. Then lay out another part of the oil and repeat the procedure, and so on, until all the oil is gone, and the dough becomes homogeneous. This may take 15 to 20 minutes.

Kneading at first will not be very easy, the dough is stubborn, with crumbs and does not look quite aesthetically pleasing. Pay no attention to it, everything is going as it should.

The dough will not be smooth and plastic, it will stick to your hands from the oil, but you don’t need to add flour anymore.

10. Stretch the dough into a cake and put raisins in the middle. Fold it into an envelope and continue to knead so that the raisins are evenly distributed.

11. Stretch the dough again into a cake and lay out candied fruit and almond petals, or one thing and repeat the procedure.

There were a lot of toppings, and this is very good, baking is festive.

12. Lubricate the bowl with oil and put the dough into it. Cover with cling film and leave to rise for 2 hours.

13. After the allotted time, the dough will double in volume, transfer it to a special form in the form of a lamb, which must also be greased with oil. Distribute it evenly there and leave for another 30 - 40 minutes so that the dough gains strength and fills all the recesses of the mold.

14. Put in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake at this temperature for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 160 degrees and bake for another 30-40 minutes until cooked.

15. Ready baked goods take out and brush with butter. Let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

As a rule, if there are small children in the house, they are completely delighted with such beautiful and themed pastries.
