Festive dishes for her husband’s birthday
Starter: beetroot and feta salad
This dish is a healthier variation on beetroot salad, mayonnaise and cream cheese. You will need:
– 3-4 small boiled beets; – 1 quarter of a pack of feta cheese; – 1 tbsp. l. balsamic vinegar (can be replaced with apple cider) – 2-3 tbsp. l. olive oil; – a little parsley; – 1-2 tbsp. l. lemon juice – salt and pepper to taste.
Grate the beets on a coarse grater and place in a deep bowl. Season the salad with salt and pepper, sprinkle it with lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and olive oil on top. Sprinkle finely chopped parsley over the beets. Then use your hands to break the cheese into small pieces and place it on top of the beetroot mixture.
At the end of cooking, sprinkle the salad with a few drops of olive oil and serve as such (no need to stir)
This dish surprises with the sourness of lemon, and the basis of its piquant taste is a combination of balsamic vinegar and cheese.
Main course: Honey-marinated chicken wings
To please your husband with this tasty and quick dish, you will need:
– 700 grams of wings (based on 2 servings); – 2 tbsp. l. light honey; – 6 tbsp. l. soy sauce; – spices: paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg (you can look for ready-made seasonings for chicken in the store, they go very well with honey-soy marinade); – 2 tbsp. sesame seeds.
First, prepare the marinade (it is infused very quickly, so the dish is prepared on the same day). For the marinade, combine the soy sauce, honey, and spices. The honey must completely dissolve in the liquid, so you have to work hard. When the marinade is ready, transfer the wings to a bowl (or in a baking bag), pour the marinade there and put the preparation in the refrigerator to “rest” for 3-4 hours. After this time, place the wings on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and bake in the oven for 30–40 minutes at 200 ° C.
In order not to have to wash the baking sheet from the frozen honey, it is more convenient to cook the wings in a special bag
Put the finished wings on a “pillow” of white rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds, fried until golden brown.
Drink: pomegranate lemonade
Pomegranate lemonade is a great soft drink for a birthday party. To prepare it, take:
– a five-liter jug; – a lot of ice; – 1-1,5 liters of sparkling water; – a few mint leaves; – 1 lemon; – 1 pomegranate.
Fill a pitcher with ice almost to the brim, toss the mint into it, and pour out the soda water. With your hands, squeeze the lemon juice directly into the jug, and then the pomegranate juice. To prevent the seeds from falling into the jug, simply place your palm under the pouring juice. Stir the resulting drink and serve after a couple of minutes.
