Vegetarian recipes for the New Year. Vegetarian holiday recipes

In the New Year's articles of this series, we have already written a lot about what dishes to prepare for the holiday table. But the main focus has always been on meat, poultry and fish in all forms. But at the same time, we forgot that there is a certain percentage of people who do not eat such food in principle, and it is difficult to hope that they will make an exception for the New Year.

Respecting their tastes and traditions, today we have prepared a vegetarian menu for the New Year. And don’t let meat-eaters imagine a meager meal consisting of a pile of cabbage and a few pieces of boiled carrots. Vegetarian dishes for the New Year, prepared without the use of animal products, can be even tastier and more varied, the main thing is to show your imagination.

Let’s immediately agree that we are talking about vegetarianism, in which not all animal products are prohibited, but only flesh. That is, we can easily use milk, eggs, sour cream, etc.

Snacks




The vegetarian New Year's table will begin, as always, with appetizers. Nobody canceled the small ones sandwiches for one bite. As a basis, you can take already proven recipes: avocado mousse with lime juice and hot pepper, beet puree with garlic and natural yogurt, a variety of vegetable caviar (squash, eggplant and any other to taste).




In the same way, vegetarians will not refuse stuffed eggs, in which many traditional types are suitable as a filling: mushrooms fried with onions, grated raw carrots with garlic and melted cheese, and so on.




Also, you don’t need to ignore the variety of traditional vegetarian recipes for the New Year of Russian cuisine: sauerkraut, a variety of vegetables, soaked apples, and so on. They will not only add variety to the table, but will also make all guests remember their roots.




Even traditional herring under a fur coat can, after a little modernization, take its place on the vegetarian table. For it you will need potatoes, carrots, beets, processed (or Adyghe) cheese, seaweed, walnuts and mayonnaise. The salad is laid out in layers as usual, with each layer coated with mayonnaise. But, taking into account the absence of herring, the sequence looks like this: potatoes, seaweed, cheese, carrots, beets, mixed with crushed nuts. The layers can be repeated, then the salad will become even more interesting.

Main course




As a main dish on a vegetarian New Year's table, you can prepare vegetable skewers in batter . For them, you need to prepare the batter in advance according to your favorite recipe (for example, water, kefir, flour, salt and spices) and cut vegetables into small portions: zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes and Adyghe cheese. Everything except cheese and tomatoes should be mixed, sprinkled with spices and salt and left for half an hour to soak. You need to string all the ingredients onto bamboo sticks, dip them in batter on all sides and fry in olive or sunflower oil (there should be quite a lot of it, a layer of 2-3 centimeters). Fry the kebab on both sides under a closed lid for 6-8 minutes. When it is cooked, you need to place it on a layer of napkins or paper towels so that they absorb excess oil.

Dessert

In principle, most desserts already comply with the principles of vegetarian cooking (it is very difficult to imagine a cake with meat). The only exception is food gelatin, which is made from animal cartilage tissue, which means it is prohibited. But if you still want to pamper yourself and your guests with such a dish, then you can use agar-agar, for the production of which special algae is used.




But as an example of a wonderful New Year's dessert that both vegetarians and meat-eaters will enjoy, we can cite baked apples. To prepare them, you need to select several beautiful red apples of the same size, cut out the middle of them and fill the free space with a mixture of butter, sugar and cinnamon. Then each apple must be wrapped in foil or special film and steamed or in the oven until soft. The dessert can be decorated with a cinnamon stick and caramel.

This fairly simple menu does not contain anything forbidden for a vegetarian, but it will suit everyone else’s tastes. Perhaps after such a dinner they will even think about changing their culinary orientation.

In small steps, day by day, the main, most anticipated event of the outgoing year is approaching - New Year 2017! We all spent this time differently, some can confidently say that the year was not in vain: when important goals and wildest dreams came true, and for some, the same plans, with new hope, were carried forward to the next year . However, regardless of the recent past, everyone wants to enter a new life in the same way: interesting, bright, fun, surrounded by beloved friends or family, at home or perhaps traveling, but most importantly - in peace of mind, with a feeling of happiness and anticipation real miracles in the new year.

And in order for the celebration not to be boring, you need to think about not only the location (and the list of guests), but also the New Year's menu! We have made sure that your table in the year of the Fire Rooster is truly bright, lush and elegant and, of course, delicious! Also, when compiling the list of dishes, two important criteria were taken into account: the availability of vegetarian ingredients and lightness and ease of preparation. I hope that you and your guests, regardless of the type of food, will be satisfied with both the New Year's menu and the celebration itself.

So, if you haven’t thought through the menu yet, then it’s time to make a list of dishes, start purchasing ingredients, and try to reproduce difficult recipes in advance (especially for baked goods, complex main courses, or appetizers). Here we go?

Salads and appetizers are served first.

It’s hard to imagine our New Year holiday traditions without a feast, which is often both unhealthy and not environmentally friendly. Most people cannot imagine a New Year's table without meat and fish dishes. But do vegetarians really not celebrate the New Year or do it with a modest “ordinary” menu? Of course not! From our selection you will learn about wonderful dishes that will make your table healthy and at the same time surprise your guests.

Many recipes are taken from the diet of lacto- and ovo-vegetarians, but some are also suitable for vegans.

1. Vegetarian “meat”

This dish is made from seitan, a plant-based meat substitute that tastes very similar to the “original”. Seitan is made from flour. The dough is thoroughly washed to remove the starch from it, and the remaining gluten is boiled in broth. The result is a mass with a high protein content and a taste similar to meat.

• Ingredients: 3.5 cups flour, 1.5 cups water. The dough is made from this. And for the broth you need 1 liter of water and spices to taste.

The resulting “meat” can be used in any recipes as a substitute for natural meat. In particular, you can cook fried meat. To do this, seitan cut into pieces is fried in a frying pan in butter with the addition of spices: turmeric, coriander, bay leaf, pepper and soy sauce. First, spices are added to the oil. Followed by soy sauce and only then “meat”. You need to fry it for 5-7 minutes on all sides.

2. Fish

A vegetarian fish substitute is made from cheese, for example, Adyghe cheese.

• Ingredients: 150 grams of cheese (Adyghe, paneer or tofu), 100 ml of water, 3 tablespoons of flour, half a teaspoon of each type of spice: salt, black pepper and turmeric, vegetable oil and several sheets of nori seaweed.

Cut the cheese into rectangular pieces. Prepare a sklar from water, flour and spices. Soften the nori in water and wrap it around the cheese, and then dip the resulting “rolls” into the sklar. Next, fry the fish on both sides.

3. Aspic

It’s hard to imagine a New Year’s table without this dish. It is also available for vegetarians. Of course, without tongue and other animal products. They are replaced by cheese. And again, nori seaweed turns out to be very appropriate.

• Ingredients: 1 large carrot, 1 potato, 500 ml water, 1 teaspoon ghee (can be replaced with ghee), 2-3 tablespoons sour cream, 2 teaspoons agar-agar, 50 grams of Adyghe cheese and a set of spices, which may vary depending on your tastes. For example, this set: allspice, red pepper, coriander, cloves, bay leaves and such exotic spices as suneli hops and asafoetida, which will be very difficult to find here. But you can do without them, because spices are added to taste; you don’t always need to strictly follow the recipe.

Boil vegetables in water, adding spices, and a little later - nori sheet and ghee. Soak agar-agar in a small amount of water. Remove vegetables from the prepared broth and strain the broth. Pour the swollen agar-agar into the broth and bring to a boil, stirring. Cool. Stir a third of the broth with chilled sour cream until smooth. Chop the vegetables and place them on top of the frozen sour cream mixture. After this, carefully pour the remaining broth on top and wait until the dish hardens.

4. Cheese lasagna

• Ingredients: package of lasagna sheets, 50 grams of mozzarella, 300 grams of Almette cheese, 300 grams of Parmesan (or any hard cheese), 250 grams of cream cheese, cream (20% fat), nutmeg and salt.

Cook the lasagne sheets for 3 minutes. Then grease a baking dish with butter and place the chopped soft cheese on it. Next, layer your ingredients in the following order: lasagna sheets, cream cheese, lasagna sheets, cream cheese and half the mozzarella, lasagna sheets, cream cheese, lasagna sheets, rest of the mozzarella and more lasagne sheets. Top it all with cream and sprinkle with nutmeg and Parmesan.

Bake in foil for 30-40 minutes. Temperature – 180 degrees. Then you need to remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes. And that’s it – another delicious dish is ready for your New Year’s table!

5. Vegetarian “herring” under a fur coat

This dish is simply classic for our holiday tables. What is included in its vegetarian option?

• Ingredients: 800 grams of potatoes, beets and carrots, 350 grams of seaweed, 300 grams of Adyghe or processed cheese, 5 walnuts, 250 ml of sour cream and 400 ml of mayonnaise, salt and spices (coriander, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper and asafoetida).

Boil vegetables in their uniforms. Then peel and grate. Also grate the cheese. What will replace herring, you ask? Sea kale, which needs to be finely chopped. Add two tablespoons of sour cream to carrots and beets, and 3-4 tablespoons to potatoes. Then add spices to taste. And pour crushed walnuts into the beets.

After this, lay out the layers “under the fur coat” in the following order: potatoes, seaweed, cheese, carrots, beets. Lubricate each layer with mayonnaise and repeat the entire set of layers one more time. The dish is ready!

6. Olivier salad

It’s almost impossible to imagine a New Year’s layer without Olivier. Actually, the vegetarian version of this salad is distinguished only by the absence of sausage.

• Ingredients: 1 kilogram of potatoes, half a kilogram of carrots, a can of canned peas, 100-150 grams of cheese, several cucumbers, a glass of mayonnaise and a glass of sour cream, turmeric, asafoetida, black pepper and salt, olives and seaweed.

Boil the vegetables in their jackets, peel and cut into cubes. Chop the remaining ingredients. Mix everything and add mayonnaise and spices.

7. Baked Potatoes

It’s hardly worth talking about the place of potatoes on the New Year’s table of Belarusians. But you don’t have to limit yourself to stewed or boiled potatoes. Its baked version will be much tastier and healthier.

• Ingredients: kilogram of potatoes, 400 ml of sour cream, 400 grams of cheese, 50 ml of vegetable oil, salt and spices (turmeric, black pepper and coriander).

Cut the peeled potatoes into slices, mix sour cream with 1 teaspoon of turmeric. Place a third of the potatoes on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with spices. Place a layer of cheese on top (also a third of the total amount) and top with sour cream and butter. Make two more similar layers of potatoes, cheese and sour cream.

Bake for 15 minutes in the oven, covered, at 250 degrees, then another 40 minutes at 200 degrees. 10 minutes before cooking, remove the lid. This will give a golden brown crust on top of the dish.

8. Shah-pilaf

This dish will stand out on your table, and it's safe to say that your guests will be delighted with it. Shah-pilaf is a traditional Azerbaijani dish that is served only on major holidays.

• Ingredients: half a kilogram of basmati rice, 150 grams of raisins, dried apricots and cherry plums (or other sour dried fruit), 250 grams of walnuts, 3 carrots, a pack of butter and a package of thin pita bread.

The most important nuance in preparing this dish concerns the type of rice. The main thing is that it is long-grain (basmati is the best variety) and properly cooked. To begin, soak the rice for half an hour in cold water. Next, rinse thoroughly. Cook rice in water with a ratio of 1 to 3 for 3-5 minutes. During cooking, add salt to taste. As a result, the rice should acquire a uniform color, but remain slightly undercooked. Place it in a shallow colander and pour boiling water over it.

Fry the chopped dried fruits in a frying pan using a third of the oil. After a few minutes of frying, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and a little salt to the dried fruits. This will coat the fruit with a layer of sugar, reminiscent of caramel.

Sauté diced carrots in vegetable oil. Also fry the walnuts, broken into pieces, in a frying pan. Cut the pita bread into 5-centimeter strips and melt the rest of the butter.

It is necessary to cook pilaf in a deep bowl. It is greased from the inside with oil and covered with strips of pita bread in 2 layers so that they cover the entire surface of the dish “overlapping” and so that their ends hang down from the dish. Next, rice is laid in a 1 centimeter layer, followed by dried fruits and a layer of ghee. Next again rice, carrots, nuts and butter. Everything ends with the last layer of rice and is wrapped in “tails” of pita bread, which are once again greased with oil on top.

Shah pilaf is prepared in the oven at 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes. The pita bread should be covered with a golden crust.

9. Cake “Bird's milk”

We all know this cake from childhood, but few people cook it at home. But in vain, because the recipe is quite simple.

• Ingredients: half a liter of heavy cream (33%), 400 grams of 25% sour cream, half a liter of milk, 450 grams of sugar, 4.5 teaspoons of agar-agar.

To prepare the glaze separately, you need to take 100 ml of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, half a teaspoon of agar-agar, 3 teaspoons of cocoa.

Cream, sour cream, 400 grams of sugar and vanillin must be mixed and stirred with a mixer for 10 minutes until thick and homogeneous. The container with the resulting mass must be placed in a plate or pan with hot water so that the mixture warms up well.

Next, grease the glass form with vegetable oil. Agar-agar should be mixed with milk and the rest of the sugar (50 grams or 3 tablespoons). Over low heat, bring the resulting mixture to a boil, stirring it constantly. The agar-agar should dissolve, after which you need to turn it off and let the mixture stand for 3 minutes. Then beat the mixture of sour cream and cream with a mixer and in the process add a mixture of milk and agar-agar. We put everything in a glass form, level it and put it in the refrigerator.

Mix the glaze ingredients and bring to a boil. Next, after cooling to 50 degrees, pour them on top of the main mass of the cake and wait until the glaze hardens. In an hour, the cake will be ready to slice and eat.

10. Baklava

There are a huge number of variations of this dish, and each of them is good in its own way. Here is one recipe for making baklava at home.

• Ingredients: a glass of milk, 50 ml of sour cream, 60 grams of butter, a quarter spoon of soda and four glasses of flour, some fried walnuts and half a liter of refined oil. For the syrup you will need half a kilo of sugar and 200 ml of water.

Pour melted butter into the milk, add sour cream and soda and knead the dough, adding flour gradually so that it becomes thicker. Leave the covered dough for 10 minutes. Divide it into small pieces or balls, which are then rolled out as thinly as possible on the table, allowing the resulting sheets to dry on each side for 5-10 minutes. Place the sheets one on top, roll them into a roll and cut at an angle of 45 degrees. The edges of the dough should not stick together.

Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan and fry the rolls in it until golden brown. Place them on a plate lined with napkins and let cool.

Mix sugar with water and bring to a boil (after this you can add honey to taste). Dip the cooled baklava into the hot syrup for 1 minute. Place on plates and sprinkle with crushed nuts.

As you can see, a vegetarian holiday table will not only be nourishing and tasty, but also original. At the same time, fans of “classic” New Year’s dishes will not be disappointed. Of course, some recipes require certain culinary skills, but in our TOP there are also very easy-to-prepare dishes. Bon appetit!

What should a vegetarian New Year's table look like?

When choosing New Year's recipes for vegetarians, you must first of all correctly understand what vegetarianism is? This is an unauthorized refusal to eat meat. However, vegetarianism comes in different forms and it is worth distinguishing between these forms.

So, most adherents of this diet simply refuse meat and fish, but eat dairy products, in particular cheese, sour cream, and also eat eggs - these people are called lacto-ovo vegetarians. The majority of such vegetarians, however, there are other, less common forms of this diet, which are briefly presented below.

However, please note that the list of permitted foods may change.

• Lacto-vegetarians They can eat dairy products, but do not accept eggs in their food.
• Ovo-vegetarians on the contrary, they eat eggs, but refuse any form of dairy products.
• Vegans- They eat absolutely no animal food and sometimes even refuse honey.
• Raw foodists- This is another form of vegetarianism, in which it is forbidden to eat foods marinated in vinegar and foods that have undergone heat treatment.

You can’t do without something hot for the New Year, so we suggest you prepare this amazing potato roll with mushroom filling at home.

Ingredients

• Champignons – 600 g;
• Potatoes – 6 tubers;
• Onion – 2 heads;
• Premium white flour – 80 g;
• Pepper mixture – ½ tsp;
• Salt - to taste;
• Tofu cheese (soft or hard - at your discretion) - 100 g.

How to cook vegetarian mushroom roll

Boil potatoes

1. Peel the potatoes and boil in salted water for 30 minutes. Then drain the water, mash the potatoes into a thick mass (puree), mix with flour and leave to cool.

Preparing the filling for the roll

1. Chop the onion into small cubes, cut the mushrooms into small pieces.
2. Fry the onion in vegetable oil over high heat until golden brown, then add the mushrooms and fry everything together for another 5 minutes. After frying, salt and pepper the filling to taste and leave to cool.
3. We spread parchment on the table and additionally grease it with vegetable oil. Then put the cooled potato mass on it, roll it out into an even rectangular layer, 1-1.5 cm thick.
4. We distribute the mushroom filling on top, then put grated cheese on it and carefully wrap everything into a roll.
5. Place the potato roll, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment and place it in the oven to bake for 30 minutes at 200°C.

If your diet allows the consumption of eggs, then you can add 2 eggs to the potato mixture, and you can also place boiled eggs (as a filling) in the middle of the roll.

This roll can also be baked in dough. To do this, the finished roll should be placed on a sheet of dough (puff pastry or regular yeast dough) rolled out in a baking sheet and covered with dough cut into ribbons, like a kulebyaku. Cooking time and temperature are the same.

Vegetarian ice cream

Well, how can you do without dessert on a holiday? Of course, no way, that’s why we suggest you make delicious vegan ice cream from the most affordable ingredients. Even raw foodists can enjoy themselves here.

• Soak 1 cup of raw almonds in cool water overnight. The next morning, drain the water and peel the nuts.
• Then load the almonds into a blender, add 50 ml of water and grind the products until a soft mass is obtained.
• Now add two large bananas, broken into pieces, to the almond cream and beat everything again with a blender until smooth.
