Compared to the stricter Lent, fish is most often allowed on these days. And, of course, all seafood - squid, shrimp, mussels... This, as a rule, is the basis of the Lenten New Year's table. Its second component is all kinds of vegetables, which, fortunately, are now on sale in large quantities even in winter. Homemade flour dishes can also help to deliciously feed all guests - both as hot dishes and as dessert.

"For those who are accustomed to traditional dishes on the New Year's table, a good solution would be to partially change one or another familiar recipe. In some cases, meat, cheese, eggs can simply be excluded, and sometimes replaced with fish, tofu, squid or shrimp. We use lean mayonnaise.

Salads

The most diverse section of the New Year's Lenten table is, of course, salads! The number of their options is limitless and the choice depends only on our taste and availability of products.

We have already talked about some, but now we will dwell on others in more detail.

The famous

Herring under a Fur Coat

Herring fillet, boiled potatoes and carrots, onions, beets are finely chopped and laid in layers, sandwiched with mayonnaise or seasoned with vegetable oil. It’s enough just to exclude eggs and cheese - it will still be very tasty, we guarantee!

By the way, in the famous "Olivie" You can also omit eggs and replace meat smoked fish, squid, crab sticks... A Greek salad You can prepare it without cheese or replace it with soy cheese.

Avocado salad with shrimp

A very popular recipe in recent years, with many variations. Often served in “boats” of avocado halves, the pulp of which is scooped out and crushed and added to the salad.

For example, you can try this recipe:

Cut the avocado pulp into cubes and pour in lemon juice to prevent it from darkening. Cut the tomatoes in half or into cubes. Simply boil the shrimp in salted water. Mix avocado, chopped tomatoes, boiled shrimp, season with vegetable oil, salt and pepper. You can sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Lay out in layers, chopping:

• boiled potatoes,
• onion,
• boiled carrots,
• canned saury or a sardine,
• optional - pickled cucumbers.

Lubricate each layer with mayonnaise.

Finally, we will offer a few more options for possible combinations of elements in salads:

Mayonnaise

It is impossible not to dwell in more detail on the frequently asked question about lean mayonnaise. Of course, many salads taste much better with it. If you don’t find a special lean one in the store, you can first study the composition of different sauces (nowadays there are quite a few of them - garlic, nut) or the most inexpensive mayonnaise - often there are no eggs in the composition. And if you want, you can make mayonnaise yourself.

Option one.

200 g. soy milk(can be diluted from dry) beat with a blender, gradually adding 200 g of vegetable oil. Add mustard and salt to taste.

Option two.

Half a glass of any vegetable broth bring to a boil and pour in a thin stream of starch diluted in a small amount (1.5 tablespoons of dry matter), cook like jelly. Cool, add half a glass of vegetable oil, salt and mustard to taste, beat with a blender.

Other snacks

Great snack options - Korean salads. As you know, they can be prepared from almost any vegetables: carrots, cabbage, eggplants, even beets, and also from ferns, mushrooms... But it is ideal for a Lenten New Year’s table

Salty fish

If you salt pink salmon, chum salmon or salmon yourself, you will get fresh and tender slices. This is not at all difficult and does not require, as it may seem, a lot of time, but it can significantly save the family budget.

We cut the fillet of pink salmon (or its relatives) into slices about 1 cm thick. You can remove the fish from the bones yourself; it is easiest to cut it half-thawed.
Sprinkle it with a mixture of salt and sugar. Their ratio can be 1:1 or 2:1, as you like, about 1 tbsp per 1 kg of fillet. spoon of salt. You can add pepper, herbs, onions, lemon...

Shortbread honey cookies

• 2 cups of flour,
• 1 pack of margarine,
• 4 tbsp. l. Sahara,

Oat cookies

• 3 cups oatmeal,
• 1 cup sugar (or less, to taste)
• 1 pack of margarine,
• a pinch of soda,
• ½ tsp. cinnamon.

Grind the flakes in a food processor, add sugar, margarine, soda, and cinnamon. At the end of kneading, add water little by little (1-3 tablespoons) so that the dough from the fatty crumbs forms into a lump. You can also “punch” the dough with honey, then add less sugar.

You can not grind the flakes, but pre-boil them, as oatmeal, and for density, add flour to the dough as needed. These cookies will be softer.

Brine cookies

• 250 ml. brine,
• 70 walnuts,
• 200 ml. refined sunflower oil,
• 500 g flour,

Separate small pieces with a tablespoon, roll them into balls, flatten slightly to form cookies, and place on a floured baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes.

The result is a browned, crispy cookie, a little crumbly inside, but the next day it dries out.

"Raffaello"

• Bananas 2 pcs.,
• walnut 150 g.,
• almonds 150 -200 g.,
• coconut flakes for sprinkling - 50 g.

Grind the nuts with a blender, and also grind the bananas to a puree. Mix everything well. If the mass is too soft, you need to add more chopped nuts or, if desired, coconut flakes. Roll the resulting mass into balls the size of a walnut. Roll in coconut flakes. Place in the refrigerator for an hour and a half.

“Of course, any fruits, nuts, as well as many sweets are quite acceptable on the festive Lenten table: dark chocolate, marmalade, classic marshmallows and marshmallows, jam.

Let's not forget to touch on the issue of alcoholic drinks. Strictly speaking, wine is not prohibited during Lent, but it is very important, again, to observe moderation - abuse here, we think, is inappropriate, regardless of religious views...

• One spoon of honey
• Three spoons powdered sugar
• Two spoons of sesame

The cooking process is simple, but involves many different operations, so be careful.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. To do this, squeeze the juice from one orange and add a tablespoon of honey to it (it can be replaced sugar syrup, but still honey is better) and three tablespoons of powdered sugar. Cook all this over low heat, stirring constantly. The glaze should become thick and stretchy. Cool slightly and coat the pie. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve to guests.
