Christmas toys lyricist, lyrics: A. Dementiev Composer, music: Chorales A. one summer I had a New year. On the green grass maiden goes. And me with a bouquet of daisies came Santa Claus. And so it is me that chest magic presented. Christmas toys, candles and firecrackers in it, And funny animals turned over my house. Started a merry dance, what a funny forest people. And I could not believe that everything out here! Everything takes time, disappeared an unexpected dream. But again sometimes comes to me he. And one day begin again, I accidentally lifted the casket, Then a fairy tale happy new year.

So, back to basics. At that time grouse and partridge were in the area of access and no cost one-and-a-fabulously expensive. So we have no choice, in the sense of grouse and partridges is something not brought up in the next grocery store. Therefore, from the bench to replace one of the birds i.e. grouse, is another bird. Meet here it is – chicken the Christmas star! Has her time of glory and national recognition! And others like it less stars.

Imagine that one good plump chicken can replace 4 anemic grouse. Presented? Well! Now we, her darling, put in BOILING WATER, in order to keep it all taste, and boil until fully cooked. Again, ensuring the authenticity of the process and giving the bird "forest fragrances", add spices: black pepper, marjoram and juniper without fail. Latest spice no problem for a penny are sold in the pharmacy.

The fries, thank God, no substitute is not necessary. Grows dear and is sold everywhere. The only trick is going to cook for the sake of the holiday in "dress uniform", puncture this with a tunic with a fork in several places. Not for medals and orders, and that is not cracked. Throw it into boiling salted water and boil until tender. Let cool at room temperature. Do not try to cut warm or in the fridge to cool, the taste of the salad will spoil!

On the contrary eggs sent to cold salted water and cook for 7-8 minutes on small gurgling, because it is in them the yolk acquires a hardness, and the protein becomes loose, gentle. And that is exactly what we need! Why pray tell us resinously protein in your favorite salatiga? Boiled eggs, as usual, immersed in cold water several times changing it.

Further svalivsheesya seized the chicken and postponing it until the time aside. Continue the manipulation of the broth. Because we Oh-so need jelly, which was a necessary attribute in the original version of the salad. Therefore, vivarium broth approximately one-third. Let it become brighter and begin to inspire the trust of rich color and aroma.

Now the broth "pull" in full, I mean I'll make a sling with the help of protein. For this broth cools to 30-35 degrees (lukewarm). 2 protein, combine with 1/3 Cup of cold broth, whisk and sent to the rest of the broth. On small fire, heat the mixture, stirring with a spoon until until the guy starts to coagulate. Continue to cook on minimum heat for 1 hour. The view is not ice, but the result is excellent! After strain the mixture through a folded 5 layers and soaked in hot water, cheesecloth, You will get a clear broth.

Then, of course, can not think much, just freeze the broth in a suitable container and in hours X cut it into cubes. But... it's time! And the song MNU about Christmas toys! Here is their something we will do with the substrate of chocolates. Moreover, as practice showed, in these cells handy to add decorative elements. Gelatin fill with cold water and allowed to swell. 1/3 Cup of the cooled broth combine with the gelatin and heated on the fire to dissolve gelatin. Spread over the cups peas, corn and cranberries, it is not forbidden herbs. Now pour all this splendor is prepared with gelatin and put into the fridge until fully cured. To extract the jelly from the substrate, slide a sharp knife around the edge of the molds, and squeeze jelly.

Themselves meanwhile, prepare the cream for the decoration of the magic casket, which later. It's simple, the potatoes turn into a puree, add all Ingram, whisk and FSE. The only thing that the cream should be warm to the solemn moment of the painting of the casket. So place it, for example, in a warm oven.

Now – sauce. If we set a goal of authenticity lettuce, let's go to the end and will beat into a soft mousse this legendary sauce. Take a couple of eggs, separate the yolks. Whisk them with salt, adding the olive oil DRIP at first, then you can split SPOON, and then JET. If it becomes too thick, add 1 teaspoon of water. Once reached desired consistency, feel free to add lemon juice, mustard and other spices to improve the taste. Voila, the sauce is ready, albeit slightly, and neprivychnye for us, vzlomannyj acetic works syrokombinat. Although, to be honest, long weaned from their store products.

Finally got to the magic box. I, of course, aware that the measure of the Olivier salad in Russia – basin. And depending on the number of guests it can be kilo-basin, mega-basin ... But, I beg You, let us not only vkusno, but with style! A Christmas song about Santa Claus that "magic box presented", inspired me to serve the dish painted in bujanoc of Borodino bread. Peel off the top crust, carefully remove the crumb. Using a pastry syringe to apply intricate frosty patterns. Well, what not the chest?

On the other hand, I understand that a large number of guests in the boxes will not save enough, therefore I propose the aristocratic version of the submission, Olivier. It was brought his salad French chef for the Russian nobility. In the center of the dish, a mound of potatoes, eggs and gherkins around the sauce with capers, and on the edge - meat, alternating with jelly. True, the Russians did not appreciate the graceful flow of the chef, savagely shuffled in the pile of all the delights and love to eat. Olivier was first horrified, and then began to swagger and, on another occasion, he all in advance Ingram cut smaller and mixed with the sauce.

TA-TA-TA-taaaam! "Christmas tale" begins, collect our Olivier. In the casket lay sliced and mixed with salad dressing, on top decorate with "Christmas toys". And... if you can be so sure of something in this holiday bustle, it's just that ALL supplements this delicate, sharp, unusual, usual salad is NOT enough!
