Ingredients for 4 slices of Borodino bread:
– 1 herring fillet or half a whole herring:
– 2-3 pieces of green onions;

– 2 boiled carrots;
– ground black pepper;

Cut the herring and onion into small pieces. Carrots and processed cheese grate on a coarse grater. Place everything in a blender, add pepper and mix well. Don't have a blender? Use a meat grinder, just insert a fine mesh. Was the mousse a bit dry? It depends on the herring. Add a tablespoon of mayonnaise or vegetable oil and mix well.

– pickled cucumbers 2 pieces;
– mayonnaise 2 tbsp. spoons;
– ground black pepper;
– green onion feathers.

Preparation:
If you know how to bake pancakes, you can make them according to your own recipe. And for the rest I will continue. If you have a blender, place all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. If not, use a whisk or fork. First mix the eggs, then add milk and all other products except flour, mix well. Then add flour little by little, mixing the dough thoroughly so that no lumps form.

Don't forget to heat the pan well and grease it with oil.

I think that for the holiday it is better to bake intricate pancakes in the shape of snowflakes. This is done quite simply. Pour the bulk of the pancake into the middle of the frying pan, and, turning it slightly, let the dough spread a little.

Then you scoop some dough into a spoon and draw patterns around it. You can put the dough in a small plastic bottle and draw from it. This is somewhat more convenient, but more dough is consumed.

When all the pancakes are ready, cover them with a plate or cling film to soften them.

In the meantime, let's start with the filling. Cut the salmon into small squares. Grate the cheese on a fine grater. Finely chop the pickles too. Pepper, add mayonnaise and mix everything.

Divide the onion into feathers and steam with boiling water to make them more elastic.

Place a tablespoon of filling in the middle of each pancake, form a bag and carefully tie with onion feathers. During this procedure, it is better to involve your children or husband, let them also take part in the preparations for the holiday.

These bags are served cold, but if you are making them on the eve of the holiday, it is better to heat them in the microwave for a few seconds so that the pancakes are not too hard.

Cut the meat into thin slices, cover with film and beat well, add salt and pepper. Cut the cucumbers and red onion into strips. Place grain mustard, slices of cucumber and onion on each piece of meat.

Roll into rolls and secure with toothpicks to prevent them from unraveling. Gently roll in flour. First place seam side down in a well-heated frying pan with vegetable oil. Fry on all sides until golden brown crust.

Cut the finished rolls in half at an angle of 45 degrees. Drizzle with Lazy Tartar Sauce.

Products:
– pickled cucumbers 2-3 pcs.;
– a head of red onion;
– garlic 2-3 cloves;
– half a bunch of parsley;
- salt pepper;
– mayonnaise 2 tablespoons;
– grainy mustard.

This sauce is prepared very simply, and most importantly, quickly, but it requires a blender. Chop all the ingredients, put everything except the mustard in a blender and blend until smooth. Now add mustard to taste and mix with a spoon. You can, of course, chop everything finely, but this will take time, and during the New Year's troubles, this is precisely what is missing.

Herring under a fur coat in a roll

Products:

– herring – 1 pc.;
– potatoes – 4 pcs.;
– carrots – 1 pc.;
– beets – 1 pc.;
– mayonnaise – 200 g;
– onion – 1 pc.;
– vinegar for pickling onions.

Preparation:
Pre-cut the onion randomly and marinate in vinegar for 2-3 hours. But you can put it raw, at your discretion.

Boil potatoes, carrots and beets, cool, peel and grate or cut into small cubes.

Peel the herring, separate from the bones, cut into small pieces.

It is better to squeeze the beets through cheesecloth to remove excess moisture. If your carrots are also juicy, then it is better to squeeze them.

To make a roll, spread cling film, a cut plastic bag or foil on the table, whoever has what. Mix beets with mayonnaise and spread evenly onto film. Cover again with film and compact the layer thoroughly. Remove this top film. You can salt the beets a little. Try to make each subsequent layer slightly narrower in width than the previous one. We do the same with carrots, only now we spread them on the beets. The third layer is potatoes with mayonnaise, spread on the carrots. Don't forget to salt it. Next we put the onion, if you pickled it, you need to let it drain so that it is not too wet. And the last layer is herring. It is better to lay it not over the entire surface of the roll, but as a long log in the middle. We compact all layers in the same way using cling film.

Carefully roll the roll around the herring log. We compact the edges well. Wrap it in the same film. We put the appetizer in the refrigerator until guests arrive. Before serving, remove the film and cut into portions.

Snack “Callies”

Products:
– 100-200 gr. ham or any boiled sausage;
– 100 gr. any cheese or fatty cottage cheese, it must be salted;
– 1 carrot;
– 2 cloves of garlic;
-mayonnaise.

Preparation:
Grate the cheese and carrots on a fine grater. Squeeze the garlic through a press. Mix everything and season with mayonnaise. If you use cottage cheese, the taste will be different. I usually make half with cottage cheese, half with cheese.
Cut the sausage or ham into thin slices. Roll up into a ball and secure with toothpicks to prevent them from unrolling. Fill with salad. Garnish with herbs, pieces of red bell pepper, olives or just ketchup.

Stuffed Peaches

The appetizer has an interesting taste due to the sweet peaches and salty filling.
Products:
– small, 200 grams, piece of turkey meat;
– a can of canned peaches in halves;
– a can of canned corn;
– any spicy cheese, 200 grams;
– mayonnaise or homemade sauce;
– salt, pepper to taste.

For the sauce:
– a jar of yogurt;
– lemon;
– mustard.

Preparation:
Boil the meat in salted water, cool.

While we prepare the sauce. Add a teaspoon of mustard, a tablespoon of lemon juice to the yogurt and add a little salt. Mix all ingredients well.

We take the peaches out of the jar and place them on a towel. They need to be dried well. To do this, you can place them bottoms up to drain excess juice, or blot each piece with a napkin.

Then the bottoms must be cut off for stability, but be careful not to make a hole.

Now cut the turkey into small pieces, grate the cheese on a coarse grater and add 3-4 tablespoons of corn without juice. Carefully add the sauce or prepared mayonnaise. The salad should not turn out wet. Soy or mayonnaise is used here simply to bind the products together. Add salt and pepper if necessary.
Stuff the peach halves and place them on a flat plate.
