In many families there is a tradition: on March 8, men prepare food! Have you ever wondered what you can do to please your beloved women?
International Women's Day this year is expected on Saturday, which means that men will have enough time to prepare and set a chic table. We suggest focusing on the symbolic number "8" for this holiday and preparing eight dishes. Do not worry - all of them are quite simple, but at the same time very tasty and useful.
Red cabbage saladDespite the simplicity of preparation, the dish looks very impressive. You will need: red cabbage - 0.5 kg, one large apple, dill and onion greens, dried celery, half a lemon, olive oil.
Preparation: finely chop the cabbage and rub it with salt. Peel the apples and cut them into strips. Grapes (quiche-mish is better than other varieties) are put whole in the salad. Cut the greens. Combine all ingredients. Beat olive oil with lemon juice and dress the salad. Leave to infuse for 1 hour.
If your lady watches her figure, she will thank you very much for this salad! You will need: sea cocktail - 800 gr. , 2 bell peppers, 2 apples, 2 eggs, salt.
Preparation: Immerse the sea cocktail in boiling water and boil for 5-7 minutes, then let it cool. Wash the pepper and apples, peel and cut into thin slices. Cut hard-boiled eggs into cubes. Combine all ingredients, salt and mix well.
A minimum of ingredients, a minimum of time, and the result is amazing! You will need: 0.5 kg of chicken fillet, 200 ml of 20% fat cream, oil for frying, greens for decoration, salt, pepper.
Preparation: cut the fillet into small cubes. Fry quickly (2-3 minutes) in a hot pan. Add cream, salt, pepper and stir-fry for another 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Done!
Canapes with red fishElegant canapés, which are prepared easily and quickly, but are always a special decoration of the festive table. For 6 pieces you will need: 6 pieces of salted red fish, 2-3 slices of pineapple, 20-30 gr. hard cheese, 6 pitted olives.
Preparation: cut the fish into thin slices. Fold it into a fold and string it on a skewer. Cut the cheese into small cubes and press the fold of fish. Olive on top. Secure the composition with a piece of pineapple.
Cheese cream with strawberriesAs you know, most women are sweet tooths. And even if your woman is going to go on a diet, in honor of the holiday, she will still make an exception. After all, you tried so hard! And they spent only an hour. You will need: 0.5 kg of low-fat cottage cheese, sugar - 200 g. , 4 egg yolks, 250 gr. butter, 5 gr. vanilla sugar.
Preparation: wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve or pass it through a meat grinder. Add sugar and beat with a blender until smooth. Add yolks and mix again until smooth. Add melted butter, vanilla sugar and beat again. Spread on creams and decorate with strawberries or pour strawberry syrup. Well, can she resist such beauty? !
An unusual solution for an ordinary bananaOf course, you can simply eat it, or you can serve it in the form of an amazing dessert after spending only half an hour. By the way, this wonderful dish is served hot. For one portion you will need: one banana, 1 tsp. honey, 1 tsp. crushed walnut, 1 tsp. cinnamon
Preparation: wash the banana and cut it along with the skin lengthwise, but not all the way. Stuff with honey, cinnamon, nuts and wrap in foil. While you perform all these manipulations, turn on the oven - let it heat up to 200 degrees. Place the prepared banana in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. And, by the way, a baked banana is also useful, as well as in the usual raw form. Do not forget to tell your woman about this - she will definitely appreciate your concern for her.
Raspberry cocktailVery aromatic and, what is important, exceptionally useful non-alcoholic drink! And it is prepared within five minutes. You will need 200 gr. raspberries, one serving of ice cream, 100 ml of milk.
Preparation: grind ice cream and raspberries in a blender. Add milk and quickly beat until fluffy foam is formed.
Baileys hand madeA rare lady does not like this liquor. It will not take you much time to prepare it, but there is an important nuance: prepare your Baileys a couple of days before the holiday and hide it away in the refrigerator so that you are not "declassified" ahead of time. You will need: a bottle of vodka or whiskey (whiskey provides maximum similarity with the original drink), one can of condensed milk, 400 ml of cream, 4 egg yolks, one pack of vanilla sugar, one tbsp. a spoonful of instant coffee.
Preparation: pour cream into a deep container and add egg yolks and vanilla sugar. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Add condensed milk and continue to beat. Add coffee and pour vodka in a thin trickle. Continue beating for about three more minutes. The liquor is ready! You can put it in the refrigerator.
You can have such a diverse, unusual and very tasty table if you think everything through in advance, buy the necessary ingredients, and, of course, you will wake up on March 8 at 3:00 a.m. earlier than the fair sex. Good luck! And remember, the best cooks are men!
