It’s no secret that New Year’s feast is prepared almost a month in advance. But what to do when the hostess has cooked and the guests have not eaten the treats? I offer several options for using the remaining products after the holidays.

Casserole of vegetables and greens

A light casserole of vegetable cuts is suitable for breakfast.

You will need:

• cucumbers;
• bell peppers;
• tomatoes;
• dill, parsley;
• onions or leeks;
• cheese (preferably goat cheese);
• eggs;
• milk.

Preparation:

• Chop the vegetables, lay them out in a baking mold;
• add pre-fried onion to the vegetables (but you can do without it);
• beat eggs with milk and pour over vegetables;
• sprinkle with cheese;
• bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Dry breadcrumbs from sliced bread

Preparation:

• Cut into small cubes;

• drizzle with butter;

• sprinkle with Provencal herbs;

• bake in the oven until browned.

Good to use with any soup, broth and as an independent treat. Dried bread can also be used as toast by frying on both sides.

Hodgepodge of meat cuts

On almost every New Year’s Eve table there are both olives and pickles, which are perfect as ingredients for a hodgepodge. With meat delicacies it will be possible to prepare and cabbage stew, and pizza.

Fritters or mashed potatoes

From potatoes you can make a casserole, mashed potatoes or potato fritters, just by adding an egg, herbs and imagination. And also potato sticks with cheese, which are prepared simply (additionally you will need flour, eggs and cheese).

Meat and fish cuts in homemade shawarma

You will need:

• vegetables;
• meat or fish cuts;
• cheese;
• salad greens.

Preparation:

• Wrap in pita bread;
• fry on both sides on a grill or grill pan.

Appetizer with celery from baked fish

You will need:

• fish;
• celery;
• herbs;
• Greek yogurt.

Preparation:

• Dice the celery (preferably the root), boil, cool;
• take fish apart so that there are no bones, crush with a fork;
• add herbs;
• combine with celery;
• dress with Greek yogurt, serve on toast or on cucumbers.

Fish cuts still make a great appetizer. For this avocado is suitable, which should be whipped with lemon juice and served with fish (it is better to cut finely and splash with lemon juice).

You can also prepare a light fish salad with fresh cucumber, cherry tomatoes and herbs, dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Fruit compote

From fruits you can boil a compote, bake a pie or cottage cheese casserole. And also use in smoothies with the addition of coconut or almond milk or without milk.

Another option is to cut the fruit and boil jam-five-minute jam, which can be used to cottage cheese, yogurt, toast.
