“New Year's bells” - a festive appetizer of crab sticks with red fish
It is most interesting to decorate New Year's holiday snacks in the form of various New Year symbols or objects and decorations that we most often use. We have already seen how to make Christmas balls, and now let me tell you how to make Christmas bells. For example, bells are almost permanent decorations on my Christmas tree, so I think this option is very successful.
The most interesting thing is how these bells can be formed. To do this, you need to find suitable small cups or cone- or bell-shaped glasses. I have a fancy tea set with little cups that fit just right. If you have such dishes, then feel free to read the recipe further and prepare the bells for the festive table.
You will need:
- lightly salted red fish - 300 grams,
- crab sticks - 200 grams,
- soft cream cheese - 200 grams,
- dill - 1 small bunch,
- olives - 50 grams.
Preparation:
To prepare holiday snacks for the New Year in the form of bells, find suitable cups the desired shape. Line the bottom of the cups with a sheet of cling film, leaving a wide edge for wrapping.
Take red fish and cut into thin wide slices. Lay the cups from the inside with these plates, this will be the outer layer and the base of the bells. Place the fish so that the edges can be rolled up.
Grate the crab sticks and mix with soft cheese. Finely chop the dill and add to the crab sticks with cheese. Lightly salt to taste and mix thoroughly. Now place the filling inside the cups on a layer of fish. Fold the edges of the fish so that there is no hole left. Wrap layers of cling film on top. Place the cups in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set.
After two hours, remove the bells from the cups along with the film, and then carefully unwrap them. Place the bells on a plate lined with lettuce and herbs. Make a bell loop from half an olive and a dill stalk and place it on top.
The bells are ready! Have a nice and delicious holidays!
Cucumber rolls with crab filling
Many, of course, have noticed that preparing holiday snacks in the form of rolls and rolls is very convenient. Moreover, a wide variety of products are used for this. In one of the previous articles I talked about, and now I want to suggest making rolls from a thin slice of cucumber.
For the filling we will take crab sticks and cheese, but if desired, it can be made from your favorite salad, you just need to chop it very finely. You can take cheese, meat, fish salads, they all go very well with cucumbers, so it will definitely turn out delicious. Feel free to experiment. It works especially well with salads that include cucumber, meaning its flavor will already be in the recipe, but instead of being put inside, it will end up on the outside. In general, this idea is almost universal and convenient.
You will need:
- cucumbers - 2-3 large pieces with small seeds,
- crab sticks - 200 grams,
- hard cheese - 150 grams,
- green,
- mayonnaise,
- garlic if desired.

Grate the crab sticks on a coarse grater or finely chop with a knife. Grate the cheese too. Finely chop just a little greenery, 1-2 sprigs. If you want to make the filling more piquant, you can add 1 clove of garlic, squeezed through a press. Now mix it all and season with mayonnaise. You can add a little salt to taste.
Wash the cucumbers and cut them lengthwise into very thin slices. To do this, it is better to take a very sharp knife. Now place a spoonful of filling on one end of the cucumber slice and wrap it into a tube. Cucumbers are a fairly elastic vegetable, so to prevent them from unfolding, pierce them with a skewer or toothpick.
For decoration, add some green leaves and pieces crab sticks. It's best to serve immediately while the cucumbers are still fresh and crisp. Festive cucumber snacks are ready! Invite your guests to the table!

- dill greens - 1 bunch,
- mayonnaise,
- unsweetened crackers - 10-15 pieces,

Hard boil the eggs and peel them. Then grate them on a fine grater, yolks and whites together. Also grate the processed cheese on a fine grater so that they can be grated better; you can keep them in the freezer for a little while to make them harder. If you couldn’t buy cheese curds, you can also take soft processed cheese, but it should be thick enough and add less of it. The Christmas trees should not end up spreading. You can also replace it with hard cheese.
Mix cheese and eggs, season with a little mayonnaise, add garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Now mold this mass into cones.
Chop the dill very finely and roll the resulting cones in green needles. Make it thicker so that there are no gaps and the Christmas trees come out fluffy and green. Place the finished Christmas trees on round crackers. Decorate the top with bright red or orange color. This will be the top. You can take a piece of carrots, dried apricots, sweet peppers or cranberries.
