Cooking

Let's start with the most painstaking and "jewelry" work - the production figures of a tiger. For this purchased in the store any figure of the tiger ( not too big), which has a more or less simple form. Better to take that very well and clearly "drawn" tiger body to make it easier to work with. In addition, cut two pieces of foil and fold them 3-4 times, each of the pieces should be larger than the figures.

Now we need to make a cast of figures. Rather, two cast. Lay a figure face down on the foil, and gently begin to press the foil to the figure, trying to clearly "outline" all the bumps. Then carefully take out the piece of foil. Repeat the whole procedure for "rear" half of the figures.

Now preparing "the solution" for casts: cream cheese (need to take this sold in "trays" and not briquettes) slightly heated and put in a gelatin. Leave for 5-10 minutes.

Then put the pan on the fire to gelatin is dissolved, stirring all the time, and pour the cheese in the molds. Give them a little to harden and then put them in the freezer for about 1 hour. Curd will be used not all, but remains useful to us.

Once cheese is frozen, remove the foil.

Now heat on the fire the rest of the cheese mass, the bonded halves of the figures, and again put into the freezer for freezing. Then with a sharp knife cut away the excess and adjust the defects. And then we just have to paint the tiger received food coloring, put in cellophane (not weathered) and put into the refrigerator (or freezer) for best storage.

Now, in fact, move to the salad. Mushrooms (I have mushrooms) boil until tender.

Red fish (I used salmon) are also boiled in salted water.

Onions finely chop and fry until Golden brown.

Boiled mushrooms fry in a pan (separate from onions).

Now assemble the salad: boiled fish finely chop and put in a salad bowl. For the best impregnation possible to mix the fish with a little mayonnaise and then place on a dish. Actually, I always do when cooking leaf salads - it turns tender. Top cover with mayonnaise.

The next layer is the onion, which also spread the mayonnaise. I have this layer of mayonnaise is not lubricated because the bow was in the oil.

Now it is the turn of mushrooms and, again, Mayo.

From a piece of cheese cut flat, rectangular piece of (not very thick) that is put aside. The remaining RUB cheese on a coarse grater, put a little for decoration, and the rest added 7-8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half, and a little mayonnaise. Mix all and spread on mushrooms.

This is the last layer you want to grease with mayonnaise.

Sprinkle the salad with grated cheese on top left - it will give the salad type of dish, dusted with snow.

Now we will assemble the Christmas tree: prepare lettuce leaves and a quarter of a cucumber, which is exactly the cut base for stability.

Wrap the lettuce leaves around the cucumber, stapling, where necessary, with halves of toothpicks. On the top of the tree is worn (with a toothpick) "star" - a single cherry tomato.

Now prepare the poster with the numbers. Pending a rectangular piece of cheese processed wavy groove edges, and then, with a toothpick, butter output figures.

And now it is truly "jewelry" work: neatly, one by one, spread the eggs on top of butter and slightly pressed in it to kept better. To do this, the eggs (you will need a very small amount) you need to put it on a plate that you want to install in a slightly tilted condition. This is to ensure that the fluid contained in eggs, glass eggs and more "glued". The finished "poster" put it in the freezer or in the refrigerator, so the eggs are not "moved out".

Well, now we finish to assemble salad: set a Christmas tree and a figurine of a tiger. The remaining tomatoes on top make the cross-cut, which put the parsley leaves, put them near the Christmas tree and a tiger is a gift. Christmas "poster" installed in front of a tiger at the center. Bottom, under the "poster", puts one tomato, so it does not lay "layer", and stood at a slight angle. Sprigs of dill are putting behind the tiger and Christmas trees is a forest. Droplets of mayonnaise decorate the forest and the tree - this will create the illusion of fallen snow.

Well, that's all you can drink. It is better to decorate the salad greens shortly before serving, otherwise the "forest" will droop and fall off. Although the taste is not affected.

Happy New year 2010!!!
