Appetizer of apricots with chicken fillet

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

Have you tried something more wonderful, like fruit snacks? Here you can combine with incompatible.

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

We will need:

• chicken fillet - 150 gr.
• spices (paprika, coriander, pepper, cinnamon, salt, garlic, cumin) - 2 gr.
• barbecue 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.

Cooking:

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

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

Remove from heat and pour plenty of lemon juice, let cool

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

Cut all the fillet with plastics, as thin as possible

We 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, then they do not require any processing

If you use fresh apricots, pre-rinse with water and peel in a thin layer, divide in half, free from the bone

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

On the prepared apricots, using a pastry bag, apply feta cheese on the apricot

Place a chicken fillet rosette on top and decorate with greenery

At first glance, this is such a very simple, but originally designed appetizer is ready. It turns out that combining compatible with incompatible is very useful and beautiful.

What is a festive table without interesting snacks. Every hostess is full of ideas and imagination. And an incredible amount of products to help us

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

There are so many to list, maybe it's time to start

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

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

Wash the cherry tomatoes, cut into 2 halves and put on a skewer. Garnish with a sprig of parsley or dill

Here is such an uncomplicated, but very original canape recipe and not even expensive

On any festive table there will always be a piece of sausage and bread, instead of cherry tomatoes, you can safely use ordinary tomatoes. For a spicy taste olives, olives and capers

We make small dots on top of the tomato with mayonnaise. We decorate with greenery.

Here are some cool mushrooms we got. This snack option is also suitable for vegetarians. Bon appetit, of course, they will surprise your guests with their lightness and beauty.

Original appetizers for the festive table

What is originality? First of all, it is the generation of new ideas. I suggest you to generate your ideas on ordinary 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 a minimum expenditure of time

We will need:

If you are using large skewers, you can shorten them with scissors, cut to the desired length.

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

We put it on a large circle of a smaller size, pierce it on a skewer on which eggs are planted

Cut out small pieces of sharp-shaped carrots and insert in the form of a nose

Dry the olives and cut 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

Here is such an original and not at all complicated snowman ready. It will decorate not only your table, but will also be a great snack.

Now I want to present you a no less original recipe for another snack. Which, in some 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.
• Bulgarian pepper - 50 gr.
• cream cheese - 30 gr.

We fill the olive with cream cheese, this will be the basis of the head, we combine it with mini mozzarella (torso). We divide another olive in half, they will serve as wings for us, and attach it to the mozzarella with cream cheese.

We clean the boiled carrots and cut into thin plates. 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 clean the bell pepper and cut it into small triangles, attach it to our head with cream cheese, and use a pastry bag to put small dots on the penguin's hat. If you don't have a pastry bag, use a regular bag with the end cut off.

Here is such an amazingly beautiful, and most importantly, tasty and healthy little penguin will delight us throughout the celebration.

Cheese cheese, olives are also good, but you should not forget about fruits 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.

Canape on fruit skewers

Bright colors of fruits will be in place 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 of extraordinary beauty.

Fruit canapés on skewers have not only the qualities described above, but also originality. Not a single housewife will hurt to master a new recipe for such an appetizer.

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

Cooking:

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, somewhere around 2 by 2 cm. If these are berries, then you should not cut them, we will plant them whole.

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

Between the fruits, you can plant small mint leaves, which will give our skewers a pleasant aroma.

Use only fresh fruits to make your dish look beautiful and of high quality.

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

Canape sweet fruit

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

In canapes, in addition to fruits, you can use other ingredients, well, for example, such as cheese

It will not lose its rich fresh taste, but thanks to the cheese it will acquire some piquancy. Or maybe try this combination of fruit and cheese

We will need:

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

Cooking:

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

We put 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 canape is in no way inferior to fruit.

I think that with fruits it has become a little clearer, now we do not just cut them and put them on a dish, but create a kind of masterpiece. It can be canapes and just fruit on a skewer, and in addition, you can use fondue for chocolate

Tartlets with caviar

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

Since we are talking about the festive table, I suggest using tartlets instead of the usual sandwich. There is nothing special about them, but they give a certain aesthetic appearance to such an appetizer.

Caviar is red and black. Not everyone can afford black, but anyone can buy red. Let's look at several types of red caviar tartlets

We will need:

• tartlets
• greenery

Cooking:

This type of classic tartlet with caviar does not have any peculiarities in cooking. The most important thing to consider is the quality of the products, the tartlets must be absolutely fresh, the caviar must not have a bitter taste.

We take one tartlet of medium or small size and, using a small spoon, put the caviar into the tartlet, gently smearing it over the entire surface

We wash the greens, and shake it freeing it from excess water. You can use both dill and parsley, but dill has a more delicate flavor. We decorate the tartlet with a sprig of greenery

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

We will need:

• Red caviar
• cream cheese or butter
• greenery
• tartlets

Cooking:

In this form, tartlets, you can use a larger size

Beat the cheese to give more elasticity. Chopped dill can be added to the cheese

Place a small pile of caviar on top of the cheese with a small spoon. Decorate with a sprig of greenery

If there is any leftover cream cheese, you can squeeze it into a piping bag and dot any dots or patterns on top of the tart.

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 that it does not disturb the structure of the tartlet when applied.

When buying caviar, be sure to pay attention to its quality, the taste of such an appetizer largely depends on it.

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

If the mass of the filling turned out to be thicker, put it in a tartlet from a pastry bag, it will look much more interesting

If the mass turned out to be soft and liquid, it's okay, just apply it with a small spoon into a tartlet

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

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

History and general characteristics

Snacks- This is a light meal that precedes the main meal. They are very diverse - based on meat, fish, seafood, sausage, cheese, mushrooms, vegetables and fruits. Thus, the assortment of snacks is very wide and it is simply impossible to list all the dishes related to snacks.

As a rule, they serve to stimulate appetite or are an appetizer for alcoholic beverages. In addition, the snack can become a snack between meals.

The history of the appearance of appetizers is directly connected with the Russian table, where pickled and pickled vegetables, cranberries, rutabaga and mountain ash were served as the main dish. But this was the menu of commoners, while the boyars had much more immodest snacks - delicious suckling pigs with horseradish, black and red caviar, homemade smoked sausages, simple aspic, jelly and various aspic - all this was also served just before the main course and was a snack, that is, a light snack.

The history of snacks in the form we see them now began in Russia in the 18th century. Until that time, an appetizer was called a cold breakfast served at home from food left over from dinner. It is thanks to this that many cold dishes of Russian cuisine, in particular, all kinds of pickles and smoked products, began to be called appetizers. In addition, a snack meant some kind of product that should be consumed as a bite to something.

Appetizers in a more familiar - less satisfying - form for us appeared at the beginning of the 18th century in Europe, where it was very fashionable to replace the main dishes with original snacks prepared in haste. It is believed that this is how the buffet and buffet appetizers were born for the first time, where the same ingredients are decorated as in the main courses - meat, fish, root vegetables, cheeses and fruits - but in a more compact version or, as it is also called, in buffet style.

The greatest variety of such dishes is observed in Russian cuisine, although they are present in the cuisine of many other countries. So, for example, in the UK, an appetizer is called appetizer, in France - hors d "oeuvres, in Greece - meze, in Spain - tapas, in Italy - antipasto, in the countries of the Arab world - mazza. The list of countries, of course, is not limited to this, it is much wider.

An interesting fact from the history of snacks concerns this type of dish in Sweden, or rather its serving. So bread and everything that goes with it was used as a snack. At the same time, such a dish was called smörgåsbord, which literally means a sandwich table. So, this appetizer was served in the room preceding the dining room. Everyone, on the way to the dining room, had to treat themselves to a delicious sandwich and only then proceed to the main meal.

Snacks were served, as a rule, 2-3 hours before the main meal. The description of the dishes that were served in their quality deserves a separate independent article. In the future, the time for serving snacks more and more approached the main meal, and, subsequently, became an integral part of it. As for the variety of dishes, it only became richer. Therefore, these days it is not at all surprising that several different snacks on the table become a full-fledged lunch or dinner.

We will consider the characteristics of snacks in more detail in the subsequent sections of this article.

Types of snacks and their classification
