• wheat flour – 200 grams;
• large onion - 1 piece;
• garlic – 4 pieces;
• mayonnaise - to taste;
• fresh cucumber - for decoration;
• greens - for decoration;
• spices and salt to taste.

Cooking method:

1. First, you need to soak the liver for 24 hours, changing the water as often as possible, and after that you need to cut it into pieces, while simultaneously cleaning out all the films, veins and other places that will interfere with the meat grinder from grinding the liver.
2. After this, we send the liver in pieces into a blender, or into a meat grinder, and turn it into a semi-liquid mass. Once everything is ready, pour into a bowl in which you will prepare the liver “dough” for baking the cakes.
3. Mix the eggs, pour in the required amount of milk, and after that you need to take the flour and add it a little at a time so that there are no lumps. Knead very carefully. The mixture will be thinner than pancake batter, but not by much.
4. As for the onion, it is first peeled, cut into half rings, after which the half rings are sent to a frying pan to simmer until transparent. The onion can be put through a blender or meat grinder after you fry it. Mix the onion into the liver mixture. Your dough is completely ready.
5. Now you will need a pancake frying pan - with low sides so that the liver cakes can be easily removed. Everything is very simple here - you need to pour a sufficient amount of mass into a heated frying pan with oil - a ladle - quickly distribute it over the entire frying pan and fry until done, first on one side, then on the other. The liver cake for chicken liver cake is fried very quickly - you just need to wait for it to turn gray.
6. Now take a plate and push the finished cake onto it. If you try to remove it with a spatula, the cake breaks easily. And it’s better to turn it over using a plate - it’s very convenient.
7. The finished cakes are coated with mayonnaise, to which garlic has already been added. But as for the fillings for the liver cake, here you choose to your taste. The simplest thing you can put in a liver cake that uses chicken liver is a filling of fried carrots and onions.
8. Some housewives prefer to layer such a dish with mushrooms and onions, which you have fried in advance and turned into minced meat, or simply with onions, caviar - both eggplant and squash - and much more - the filling depends on your taste and imagination. The fillings are divided into as many parts as you have liver cakes.
9. The chicken liver cake is very easy to assemble. The first layer of cake is placed on a flat plate and coated with mayonnaise and garlic. After this, fried carrots and onions are laid out. Everything is covered with a second cake layer, coated again, and so on.
10. We alternate layers exactly until we lay out the last one. We decorate the cake at our discretion - you can use chicken eggs, you can use carrots, fresh cucumbers, fresh herbs - to your taste. Before serving, it is recommended to give the cake a little time to stand and soak.

• Garlic to taste
• Cilantro, basil, mint 2-3 tbsp.
• Olive oil to taste
• Wine vinegar, salt

Cooking method:

1. Eggplants and peppers should be baked in any convenient way. In fact, it is customary to bake eggplants over an open fire, but this is not always available. So, it is better to use a regular home oven. You need to bake the eggplants until the skin begins to wrinkle.
2. Bake the pepper until soft and the shell separates. Bake the peppers until soft. It’s even easier and faster to bake vegetables in the microwave. To do this, be sure to pierce the eggplants through with a knife or prick them with a fork, otherwise they may simply explode during the cooking process. By the way, so do peppers.
3. Before baking, grease the eggplants and peppers with a small amount of vegetable oil. Baking time approximately 10-12 minutes. Allow the eggplants and peppers to cool to room temperature. Peel the garlic and place in a chopper. Add salt. Tear off the leaves from the mint, cilantro and basil and place in a blender with the garlic.
4. Add 2 tbsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. wine vinegar. Grind everything, not necessarily to a puree, it is enough if there are large enough pieces. Grind the herbs, garlic and spices. Carefully peel the pepper from the skin, which easily separates, like plastic film, just peeling off.
5. Remove all seeds and tail; only the pulp should remain, which should be cut into large pieces. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and cut off the peel. Grind the eggplant pulp, you can simply tear it into pieces with your hands or cut it into large cubes.
6. Place the pepper and eggplant pulp on a plate. Place tomatoes cut into large pieces or slices nearby. An eggplant appetizer looks very impressive if you use tomatoes of different colors: red, pink, yellow, and even green.
7. Place eggplants, vegetables and herbs on a plate.

Did you know that the purpose of creating any snacks is, first of all, to awaken your appetite.

Holiday snacks are an integral part of any holiday and celebration, which are based on various types of products from vegetables to meat.

Thanks to such variety, snacks are not only healthy, but also very tasty.

Cook for every taste and your guests will be happy. Imagine, create, reflect and your table will become not just festive, it will symbolize your talent for diversity.

Apricot appetizer with chicken fillet

A wonderful combination of fruit snacks. Many of us are accustomed to the fact that if it’s fruit, then it’s a regular cut.

Have you tried to create something more wonderful, for example, fruit snacks? Here you can combine with the incompatible.

We'll see, and maybe even try. Let's combine sweet apricot and salty feta, and add a little kick in the form of spicy chicken.

We will need:

• chicken fillet - 150 gr.
• spices (paprika, coriander, pepper, cinnamon, salt, garlic, cumin) - 2 gr.
• BBQ sauce (any spicy) - 1 tbsp. l.
• vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. l.
• lemon juice - 2 tbsp. l.
• feta cheese - 70-100 gr.
• apricots (canned) - 6 halves or 3 pcs.

Preparation:

Pre-defrost the chicken fillet, rinse and dry with a dry towel. Season with a mixture of spices and salt, and leave to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Place our marinated chicken fillet in a hot frying pan with oil, fry on both sides (about 5 minutes on each side), add hot sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and pour liberally with lemon juice, let cool

Lemon juice will make the chicken fillet more dense and will not crumble when cutting.

Cut all the fillets into plastic pieces, as thin as possible

Take two plastic fillets and roll them into a roll, securing with a skewer

Mash the feta cheese with a fork until smooth.

We prepare apricots; if you use canned ones, they do not require any processing

If you are using fresh apricots, first rinse them with water and peel them in a thin layer, divide them in half and remove the bones.

Apricot is considered a very healthy fruit rich in magnesium, calcium and iron. Improves brain performance and increases hemoglobin

Using a pastry bag, spread feta cheese onto the apricots onto the prepared apricots.

Place a rose on top chicken fillet, and decorate with greenery

This, at first glance, very simple, but originally designed appetizer is ready. It turns out that combining compatible with incompatible is very useful and beautiful

What would a holiday table be without interesting appetizers? Every housewife is full of ideas and imagination. And an incredible amount of products can help us

Sometimes, without noticing it, we create masterpieces from the same ordinary cheese or deli meat, fish and cream cheese

There is a lot to list, maybe it’s time to start

There are several types of snacks - canapés, sandwiches, cold cuts, salads.

Let's take a closer look at the topic of canapés today.

What is a canapé? A canape is a tiny mini sandwich weighing from 10 to 30 grams.

In the manufacture of canapés, products such as fruits, vegetables, fish (mainly salmon), deli meats, black olives, olives and many other edible, interesting and tasty things are used.

Using an example, I will show you several simple but very original canapé recipes, with minimal time and effort.

We will need:

• rye bread - 4 slices
• cherry tomatoes - 100-150 gr.
• lettuce leaves - 50 gr.
• ham - 70 gr.
• olive oil - 1 tbsp.
• greenery

Preparation:

Cut the bread into pieces, dry it in the oven or in a frying pan on both sides, divide it into 4 parts or cut it out using a cookie cutter. Sprinkle with olive oil

Wash the lettuce leaves and dry them with a dry paper towel, place them on bread

We cut the ham into thin slices and fold it into four, using a skewer we fix the ham on the bread

We wash the cherry tomatoes, cut them into 2 halves and place them on a skewer. Decorate with a sprig of parsley or dill

This one is not complicated, but very original recipe canapes and not even expensive

On any holiday table there will always be a piece of sausage and bread; instead of cherry tomatoes, you can safely use regular tomatoes. To add a piquant taste of black olives, olives and capers

My second option is suitable for lovers of mozzarella cheese with a combination of cherry tomatoes.

We will need:

• Cherry tomatoes - 100 gr.
• mini mozzarella - 125 gr.
• greenery
• skewers
• mayonnaise - 1 tsp.

Preparation:

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into two halves

Place mini mozzarella on a skewer, then half a cherry tomato

Make a short distance and repeat - mini mozzarella, cherry tomato

If by some chance you did not have the opportunity to purchase mini mozzarella, use regular mozzarella, first cutting it into small cubes.

Make small dots on top of the tomatoes using mayonnaise. Decorate with greens.

These are the cool mushrooms we got. This snack option is also suitable for vegetarians. Bon appetit, they will certainly surprise your guests with their lightness and beauty.

Original snacks for the holiday table

What is originality? First of all, it is the generation of new ideas. I suggest you generate your ideas on regular products. And create something more refined and magical.

And for the New Year's table, such snacks are suitable, in the form of a snowman from simple products And minimum cost time

We will need:

• boiled carrots - 1 small
• quail egg - 10 pcs.
• pitted olives - 2 pcs.
• greenery
• small skewers

Preparation:

Boil the eggs and peel them. Using a skewer, pierce two eggs in the middle, placing them on top of each other, giving the shape of a snowman

If you are using large skewers, they can be shortened using scissors; cut to the desired length.

Peel the boiled carrots and cut them into thin slices, cut out a small circle

Place a smaller one on a large circle, pierce it onto a skewer on which the eggs are placed

Cut out small pieces of sharp-shaped carrots and insert them in the shape of a nose.

Dry the olives and cut them into small pieces, make buttons and eyes for the snowman

We wash the greens, dry them and insert a sprig of parsley into the cut for the hands of our snowman

This original and not at all complicated snowman is ready. It will not only decorate your table, but will also be an excellent snack.

Now I want to present you with an equally original recipe for another snack. Which, in a way, is also not only a symbol of the new year, but also of winter

We will need:

• mini mozzarella – 125 gr
• pitted olives - 100 gr.
• boiled carrots - 50 gr.
• bell pepper - 50 gr.
• cream cheese - 30 gr.

Preparation:

We fill the butter dish with cream cheese, this will be the base of the head, and combine it with a mini mozzarella (the body). We divide another olive in half; they will serve as wings for us, and attach it to the mozzarella using cream cheese.

Peel the boiled carrots and cut them into thin slices. Cut out 1/4 of the carrot from this plate. This part will be the nose, the remaining half is also attached to the buttercream in the form of legs for our penguin.

We peel the bell pepper and cut it into small triangles, attach it to our head with cream cheese, and use a pastry bag to apply small dots on the penguin’s hat. If you don't have a pastry bag, use a regular bag with the tip cut off.

This amazingly beautiful, and most importantly tasty and healthy little penguin will delight us throughout the celebration.

Cheese and olives are also good, but you shouldn’t forget about fruit either. They are rich in fiber and are simply necessary on our table. I suggest you think about these types of snacks at the holiday

Canapés on fruit skewers

The bright colors of fruits will be at home at any feast. And even more so on the holiday table. In addition to their brightness, they have a fresh taste and pleasant aroma, creating a magical picture extraordinary beauty

Fruit canapés on skewers have not only the qualities described above, but also originality. It wouldn’t hurt any housewife to master new recipe such a snack

We will need:

Any fruits that you have: oranges, tangerines, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, etc. It can also be berries. You can use mint to decorate these skewers

Preparation:

First of all, you need to properly prepare the fruit, to be more precise, rinse thoroughly and dry with a dry paper towel.

Washed vegetables must be peeled, if any.

Cut into small cubes of the same size, on average about 2 by 2 cm. If these are berries, then there is no need to cut them, we will plant them whole.

We prepare the skewers, check them for quality and begin to carefully place our fruits exactly in the middle, the color scheme may be different, I advise you to play with it

You can plant small mint leaves between the fruits, which will give our skewers a pleasant aroma

Use only fresh fruit to make your dish look beautiful and high quality

It seems not complicated, but a very necessary snack for any holiday. There is no specific recipe here. Imagine and you will definitely succeed.

Sweet fruit canapes

There are fruit skewers, and there is another type of snack, it is also made from fruit, but is slightly different in its originality

In addition to fruit, you can use other ingredients in canapés, for example, cheese

It will not lose its intensely fresh taste, but thanks to the cheese it will gain some piquancy. Maybe we can try this combination of fruit and cheese

We will need:

• Dutch cheese or brie - 150 gr.
• Fruits - 200 gr.
• Greens or mint
• Colorful skewers

Preparation:

Prepare the fruit, wash and dry, peel, cut into cubes

We cut the cheese with a mold, if it is Dutch, if there is no mold, you can cut it into plates or small cubes

Place cheese on a skewer, greens on the cheese, and your favorite fruit on top of the greens

Remember that in the case of canapés, the cheese should always be lower than the fruit

Don't be afraid to use berries. Thanks to its sweet and sour taste, this canapé is in no way inferior to fruit.

I think that with fruits it has become a little clearer, now we don’t just cut them and put them on a dish, but create some kind of masterpiece. It can be canapés or just fruit on a skewer, and in addition you can use chocolate fondue

Tartlets with caviar

A chic appetizer for a chic table, of course, this is a tartlet with caviar, with a common name, but an extraordinary taste. Someone spreads caviar on a sandwich with butter.

Since we are talking about a holiday table, I suggest using tartlets instead of a regular sandwich. There is nothing special about them, but they give a certain aesthetic appearance to such a snack.

Caviar comes in red and black. Not everyone can afford a black one, but anyone can buy a red one. Let's look at several types of tartlets with red caviar

We will need:

• tartlets
• greenery

Preparation:

This type of classic tartlet with caviar does not have any special features in its preparation. The most important thing that needs to be taken into account is the quality of the products, the tartlets must be absolutely fresh, the caviar must not have a bitter taste

Take one medium or small tartlet and, using a small spoon, place the caviar into the tartlet, carefully spreading it over the entire surface

We wash the greens and shake them to remove excess water. You can use both dill and parsley, but dill has a more delicate taste. Decorate the tartlet with a sprig of greenery

You can use the option with the addition of butter or cream cheese

We will need:

• cream cheese or butter
• greenery
• tartlets

If there is any cream cheese left, you can pipe it into a piping bag and pipe any dots or designs on top of the tartlet.

If you decide to use butter, then before using it in tartlets, be sure to remove it from the refrigerator so that it is at room temperature, so as not to disturb the structure of the tartlet when applying

When buying caviar, be sure to pay attention to its quality; the taste of such a snack largely depends on this

I suggest a more economical option, but no less appetizing and tasty, replace the caviar with herring

We will need:

Beat the grated carrots with a blender to obtain a homogeneous consistency, add a spoonful of mayonnaise and mix thoroughly

If your filling turns out to be thicker, apply it to the tartlet from a pastry bag, it will look much more interesting

If the mass turns out to be soft and liquid, no problem, just apply it to the tartlet using a small spoon

We cut the herring fillet into small pieces and place it on the filling itself, decorate it with a sprig of greenery on top of the herring. Simple and tasteful

For this type of snack, it is better to use lightly salted herring; if it is too salty, soak it in milk for 3-4 hours, rinse and use for cooking
