For any budget. Sparkling wines for the New Year and Christmas — a selection from Ukrainian sommeliers
1. Liver cake from chef Volodymyr Yaroslavskyi
This wonderful snack cake will be an ideal snack on the New Year’s table, especially if you prepare it with homemade mayonnaise. Even if it seems to you that frying liver pancakes is difficult, the result is really worth it. You can take different types of liver, but Volodymyr Yaroslavsky suggests making a cake with chicken.
2. Puff pastry and cheese snack
These spirals of puff pastry are prepared very quickly, they are delicious with both creamy and spicy sauces. You can always diversify the recipe – in addition to cheese, you can add ham, sausage, or use several cheeses at once.
3. Appetizer from puff pastry and salmon
This snack is so easy to prepare that you basically only need to do two processes – cutting and baking. You can vary the ingredients of the recipe — for example, put melted cheese instead of cream or replace the fish with ham or prosciutto.
4. Crostini with pear and gorgonzola cheese
The exquisite combination of pear and gorgonzola has been known for a long time. Add some honey and red wine and spread the pears and cheese on a piece of grilled French baguette for the best wine appetizer imaginable.
5. Butter with herring
If herring butter sounds strange to you, just repeat the recipe at home and make sure that this is an original snack. The butter is aromatic, creamy and friendly to pickled vegetables or even mushrooms, with which it can be served.
6. Snack salad in tartlets
Serve the salad with chicken fillet not just on a plate, but in tartlets – personalized for each of your guests. You can slightly edit the recipe to your taste – for example, replace the baked chicken breast with smoked or boiled.
7. Pork meatballs with fennel and chili
There’s no bread, eggs, or anything else in this recipe—just ground pork, onions, fennel root, and a hot chili to add some flavor to the dish. Such meatballs can be prepared for every day, served with mashed potatoes or polenta, and for the festive table.
8. Beetroot appetizer according to Marco Cervetti’s recipe
Where can you use beets, besides Shuba salad? For example, make a snack with cheese, minced meat and rendered lard from it. It’s delicious and interesting, and it’s also a great way to combine beets with other favorite foods.
9. Cheese logs with herbs and nuts
This dish combines the softness of cheese, the aroma of fresh herbs and the light crunch of nuts. It is ideal for both everyday and festive tables.
10. Sandwiches with eggs and processed cheese
We learned the recipe for this simple snack in 10 minutes from Dmytro Chikal. He is a participant in the MasterChef-13 show, and he names this dish himself “damn.” You can leave out the sprats on the canapés if you don’t want to, as the spread tastes great on its own.
11. Mini sausages in garlic dough
This is an easy recipe for Sausages in Dough that you don’t even have to knead the dough for. However, thanks to the mixture of butter and certain spices, they will be much tastier than the ones you are used to seeing.
12. Iceberg snack with blue cheese dressing
Crispy iceberg combined with a rich creamy blue cheese dressing creates a perfect balance of flavors. Such an appetizer will not only satisfy your appetite, but also add sophistication to any feast.
13. Sandwiches with salmon and processed cheese
This simple recipe for canapés with red fish and processed cheese will help you serve an elegant and delicious appetizer at the beginning of dinner. To prepare it, you will need lightly salted salmon, trout, melted cheese, which is better to freeze a little so that it rubs better, and eggs.
14. Snack with ham from puff pastry
A snack that somewhat resembles khachapuri in the Adjarian style due to its boat shape. You can add different types of fillings to the dough.
15. Chicken meatballs with basil
These are wonderful and low-calorie meatballs that can be prepared both for everyday and for the holiday. You can serve the dish on skewers. Complement it with spicy sauces, pieces of pita bread, grilled vegetables – experiment.
16. Bruschetta with camembert and jamon
The combination of delicate Camembert, salty and spicy jamon and jam hits the heart. It is so simple and elegant at the same time, and goes so well with a glass of sparkling wine from Ukrainian winemakers! The recipe uses cherry jam, and you won’t go wrong if you take it.
