Roast with pumpkin in a pot with an edible lid "Witch's Pot"

What is Halloween without the main attribute of this holiday - pumpkins? From a pumpkin, you can make a wonderful lantern for decorating a festive table with your own hands. And the pulp of the pumpkin can be used to prepare very tasty and healthy meals.
Today we're going to cook a pumpkin pot roast with an edible Witch's Pot lid.
To prepare our dish you need:

  • - meat on the bone (ribs) (according to the number of pots),
  • - potatoes (medium size 8 pieces),
  • - pumpkin,
  • - onion (1 head),
  • - carrots (1 piece),
  • - sweet pepper (2 pieces),
  • - tomatoes (4 small ones),
  • - salt,
  • - ground pepper,
  • - seasonings to taste (for example, parsley, dried basil),
  • - sunflower oil (for frying meat and vegetables),
  • - pots.

We will make an edible lid from unleavened dough. For this we need:

  • - flour,
  • - egg,
  • - a pinch of salt.

We take out the whole core from the pumpkin.
Cooking necessary products. First, we will wash and clean all the vegetables. Cut potatoes into small pieces.
Onions - cubed. Grate the carrots coarse grater. Cut the pumpkin into slices, if you want it to retain its shape during cooking - cut it larger, if not - smaller, the smaller you cut it - the more it will boil.
We cut the ribs into separate portions, 1-2 ribs in each pot, then fry in a pan until half cooked.
Pepper cut into strips, tomatoes - slices or circles.
Fry the onions and carrots (in sunflower oil), then add the pumpkin, simmer slightly.
Then knead unleavened dough and covering it with a napkin (so as not to weather), we will lay all the prepared ingredients in pots.
We put chopped potatoes in pots (you can add a little salt by mixing it).
Put the ribs on the next layer. Then pepper. The next layer is roasted carrots, onions and pumpkins.
Lay the tomatoes on top.
The lids of our holiday pot will be in the form of a spider.
We make a cake from the dough and cover the neck of our pot with it, roll out the “legs” of the spider (8 pieces) from small pieces of dough and attach them to the cake-calf.
That's almost all - now we put our "witch's pots" in an oven preheated to 200 * C for about 30 minutes.
We take the dish out of the oven.
Carefully (so as not to burn yourself) remove the lids - enjoy your meal and have a fun Halloween!

Pumpkin baked with rosemary and garlic

Pumpkin baked with rosemary and garlic will also be a great addition to the Halloween holiday.
I needed:

  • - a quarter of a medium-sized pumpkin,
  • - a few sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • — 2-3 garlic cloves,
  • - 1-2 tablespoons olive oil,
  • - 2 tsp Sahara,
  • - salt.

A piece of pumpkin needs to be peeled and cut into slices about 1 cm wide. Put the pieces on a baking sheet.
I salt the pumpkin. Make sure that all pieces are well salted.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar. This is necessary in order to emphasize the sweetness of the pumpkin, because it is one of the few sweet vegetables. If not sweetened, the pumpkin will taste like unleavened potatoes.
Finely chop or squeeze the garlic cloves through a press. Garlic will give an incredible flavor during roasting.
Pour in a tablespoon or two of olive oil. It is necessary for a beautiful roasted pumpkin crust. Stir until the oil and garlic evenly coat the pieces.
Lay sprigs of fresh rosemary on top of the pieces. This is enough to add flavor while roasting, and then the dried rosemary will be easy to remove.
We send the baking sheet to the oven at 190-200 degrees for 40 minutes. Sometimes more is required. Focus on the color of the pumpkin - the pieces should become golden, toasted.
This pumpkin can be served as a main course or as a side dish. Pumpkin is very fragrant, soft inside, but crispy on the outside.
Bon appetit!

Halloween Snacks

Chinese eggs with tea net

Such eggs look intimidating, in the spirit of the holiday, but at the same time very tasty and fragrant.

Place eight chicken eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of salt and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, then drain the water and cool the eggs. Using a spoon, gently break the egg shells until they crack, but don't peel them. In a separate saucepan, pour 3 cups of water, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of soy sauce, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of dried black tea leaves, 2 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, zest of one tangerine and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Halloween Mummy Sausages

24 sausages
1 pack of frozen puff pastry
mayonnaise or/and mustard

1. Defrost puff pastry to room temperature, and at this time unpack the sausages and rinse cold water- blot with a tissue.
2. Cut the puff pastry into thin strips like mummy bandages: the thinner the “bandages” are, the more believable your dish will look. Wrap each sausage in a strip of dough so that there is an open piece of sausage on one end. Put your mummies on a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes - the dough should be deliciously golden.
3. When the sausages in the dough are cooked, then take mayonnaise or mustard and carefully draw eyes and mouths with them on the open ends of the sausages. Carefully place your mummies on the dish so they don't turn face down and get smeared.

Salads for Halloween

Portioned Orange Salad is an easy recipe to create the right atmosphere in your home.
For cooking you need:

  • canned corn- 150 grams,
  • - 1 medium sized cucumber
  • - eggs - 2 pieces,
  • crab sticks- 150 grams,

Peel hard-boiled eggs, finely chop and add to the rest of the ingredients. We do the same with chopped herbs and canned corn. Dressed with mayonnaise
mix, salt. Here is our salad and ready. Now let's start decorating.
We take a large orange, cut off its upper part and carefully take out all the pulp with a teaspoon. Do the same with the rest of the oranges. Oranges will play the role of a miniature pumpkin with us.
We cut out an “evil face” in our “pumpkin”. You can, of course, make it fun, it's not for everyone. And fill with salad.
I chose one of the variations to fill crab salad because my family loves it. But you can cook any other salad. This dish will look original on your holiday table.

Sweet treats for Halloween

Funny finger shaped cookies

Mix three cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. Beat one glass of powdered sugar with a mixer with 200 gr. softened butter. Continuing to beat, add one egg, 1 teaspoon each of almond and vanilla extract. When the ingredients are well mixed, while continuing to beat, gradually add the mixture of flour, salt and baking powder. Ready dough wrap in cling film and leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator in small portions, shape it into long thin cookies in the form of a finger, on one end of which press one almond, which will represent the nails. Squeeze your cookies lightly in two places to form knuckles. Bake for 20 minutes on a baking sheet covered with a sheet of baking paper, oiled, in an oven preheated to 180 ° C. Cool the finished cookies slightly, remove the almonds, grease the recess with any red jam and put the “nail” in its rightful place.

Halloween cake "Gossamer" with fruits and chocolate icing

You can make a simple pumpkin pie for Halloween, like most American housewives do. And you can come up with something more sophisticated - like a Halloween cake with fruit and chocolate icing. Let's call it "Spider Web", because we will decorate it in this spirit.

For fruit biscuit we need:

  • - 4 eggs,
  • — 1,5 cups of sugar,
  • - 2 cups of flour,
  • - 0.5 teaspoon of soda,
  • - 1 tbsp. a spoonful of 9% table vinegar,
  • - 1 medium sized apple
  • - 1 small peach or nectarine

For chocolate icing we will need:

  • - 150 g cocoa,
  • - 100 g butter,
  • - 100 g of sour cream,
  • - 0.5 cups of sugar.

1. Prepare the ingredients for our delicious pastries on Halloween.
2. Beat the eggs with sugar into a strong foam. It should turn dazzlingly white, and this will be a sure sign that the sugar has dissolved well in the egg mass.
3. Soda must be extinguished with vinegar: mix and wait until the "hiss" stops.
4. In the eggs, beaten with sugar, we introduce the sifted flour.
5. Gently stir the mass until a homogeneous consistency. If bubbles begin to inflate and burst on the surface of the dough, do not be alarmed: these are not the machinations of evil spirits, but slaked soda simply makes itself felt. It performs its tasks of enriching the dough with oxygen.
6. Wash the apple, peel it, remove the seeds and cut into thin slices.
7. The washed peach also needs to be cut thinner - into small slices.
8. Lubricate the bottom of the detachable form with butter or margarine. Attention: the sides of the form do not need to be oiled, otherwise your biscuit will rise poorly or not rise at all. Lay out the cut fruit.
9. Pour the dough on top and send the biscuit to the oven. He is supposed to bake for about 20 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. Check readiness with a toothpick or wooden stick. The dough during baking behaves quite insidiously: it can be covered with a golden crust on top, while inside the cake will remain raw.
10. While the biscuit is baking, let's collect the ingredients and prepare the chocolate icing.
11. Dissolve in an enamel saucepan to a liquid state butter.
12. Pour there granulated sugar and cocoa powder. Mix everything thoroughly: lumps in the glaze should not form.
13. When the butter-chocolate mixture boils, add sour cream to it.
14. The icing should be boiled for 1.5-2 minutes, then removed from the stove and cooled.
15. The biscuit also needs to cool - do not remove it from the mold until it reaches room temperature.
16. Apply glaze to the surface of the biscuit. It is better to do this in two layers. We applied the first layer - and put the future cake in the refrigerator for 15 minutes: let the chocolate coating thicken, “grab”. A second layer was applied - again let the cake spend 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
17. And now we will prepare the materials for decorating the Halloween cake. You can take ready-made whipped cream - it is convenient to draw a “cobweb” with them and sweets - marshmallows and chewing marmalade. From the latter, you can “sculpt” a spider figurine, but the cake as a whole will be good without it.
18. We release the whipped cream into a pastry bag or into a plastic bag with a neatly cut tip.
19. Using a bag, squeeze the cream onto the glazed surface of the cake in the form of concentric circles.
21. From the center of the cake we lay several “rays” with cream - now our cobweb has a completely plausible look.
22. From the edge we sit down on the cake of a spider: its torso and legs are cut out of blueberry gummies, its mouth is made of red marmalade, and its eyes are made of white marshmallows. Halloween cake is ready. Happy and delicious Halloween!

Halloween Cake "Vampire Hand"

Before All Saints Day, Halloween night comes, a time when the line between the world of the living and the world of the dead becomes extremely thin. And therefore, the penetration of uninvited guests into the house in the form of evil spirits becomes almost inevitable. Agree, not a very pleasant visit!
In this regard, in order to somehow protect themselves from them, people try to “disguise themselves” and confuse evil spirits. They put on scary costumes and terrifying masks, and they also prepare dishes that have the same “attractive” look on the table.

Let's not think for a long time and join the general "fun". Let's organize a themed dish on the theme of Halloween "Hand of the Vampire". This will be a delicious Halloween cake (despite the intimidating look). For this we need the following products:

    "Bloody eyes" must be prepared in advance, at least a day before the holiday. Remove the skin from the radish so that only red stripes remain, imitating blood vessels. Using a small knife, cut an indentation in the radish the size of the olive to be inserted. Place each prepared radish in an ice cube tray, cover with water and place in the freezer. When preparing a cocktail, simply combine vodka or gin with vermouth and dip an ice cube with a bloody eye into the glass.

The main dishes for children on Halloween are, of course, sweets. Prepare the usual cookies and cakes in an unusual way.



Ingredients:
3 stack. flour,
1 egg
150 g butter,
5 tbsp Sahara,
4 tbsp milk,
almonds - for decoration.

Cooking:
Melt the butter, add sugar, milk and egg, beat with a mixer. Add flour in small portions, kneading the dough. Cut it into small pieces, roll it into the shape of fingers and place on a baking sheet. On the tips of the “fingers”, strengthen the almonds, unpeeled for greater horror, grease with yolk, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake for 25 minutes at a temperature of 180ºС.



Ingredients:
150 g butter,
75 g of powdered sugar,
1 yolk,
225 g flour
1 tbsp cocoa,
a pinch of salt,
protein glaze - for decoration.

Cooking:
Mix all the ingredients for the dough and knead a smooth elastic dough. Do not add water or milk, even if the dough will crumble at first. Put the finished dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 hour. Then roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm and cut out cookies in the form of figures of people and animals. Put the cookies on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and put in the oven preheated to 200ºС for 10 minutes. On the cooled cookies, use a cornet with icing to apply thin lines in the form of skeletal bones (quite arbitrary, of course!).

Creepy bloody eyes on a plate. For sweet horror, you will need small white marshmallows, pomegranate seeds and thick bright red syrup (preferably not frozen jelly, which can still be poured in a thin stream). Press a pomegranate seed into the center of each marshmallow and draw bloody streaks with syrup or jelly. Let dry before serving.



Ingredients:
2 stack flour,
1 stack pumpkin puree,
2 tbsp Sahara,
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt,
1 tsp cinnamon,
1 ½ stack milk,
4 eggs,
¼ stack. melted butter,
raisins, chocolate chips or dark berries for decoration.

Cooking:
Combine dry ingredients. Mix milk, yolks and butter with pumpkin puree. Pour the resulting mixture into the flour and stir until smooth. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and add to the batter, stirring gently to prevent settling. In a wide frying pan, bake the ghost-shaped pancakes, pouring the dough into shapeless clouds. While pancakes are frying from the bottom, put 2 berries, raisins or pieces of chocolate smaller and 1 larger, forming the eyes and mouth of ghosts. Flip and fry pancakes as usual. Children will be delighted!

You will need large round chocolate chip cookies, chocolate waffle cones and chocolate ice cream to fill. For decoration, you will need colored dragees and icing, painted in green color. Fill waffle cones with heaps of ice cream, stick onto cookies to make pointed hats, and place on a serving tray. Put in the freezer. Before serving, make a ribbon of icing by running a cornet over the junction waffle cone and cookies, and fortify one dragee.

Ice cream "Mold bricks". To prepare this dish, you will need ice cream on waffles or on cookies, blue and green confectionery topping or coconut flakes, protein or protein cream and blue and green food coloring. Prepare the cream and color it with food coloring. The sicker the color, the better. Cut the ice cream in half, if the briquettes are very large, quickly spread with cream and dip in the topping (chips). Arrange on a platter and place in the freezer.

Melt white (not porous!) chocolate with a small amount of heavy cream in a water bath. When all the chocolate has melted, dip each strawberry, holding it by the tail, into the chocolate and quickly transfer to a tray lined with baking paper. When laying the berries on the sheet, stretch them slightly so that the excess chocolate forms "ghost tails". Before the chocolate hardens, stick in a couple of small brown balls of confectionery sprinkles - these will be the eyes of the ghost. Place in refrigerator. When the chocolate has hardened, dip a toothpick into the melted dark chocolate and draw an open mouth.

In order for you to get a meringue for glory, pay attention to the tips of our site. Having been theoretically savvy, start preparing a wonderful and even not at all scary dessert for the kids. Take 50 g of powdered sugar for each protein. Add a little lemon juice or crystalline citric acid, mix and start whipping, adding powder. Beat until "hard peaks" are reached, when the whites are firmly attached to the whisk and do not fall off. Using a pastry bag, pipe the meringues onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper, deliberately pulling them up to make ghost heads (like in Disney cartoons). Stick raisin eyes in the meringue and bake in a not very hot oven for an hour and a half. Let cool in the oven and carefully remove from the sheet. Molten chocolate can be used to draw a mouth.



Ingredients:
2 packets of semi-finished jelly made from strawberries, raspberries or other bright red berries,
1 bag of gummies in the form of worms,
blue or green food coloring
deep plate with painted eyes and mouth.

Cooking:
Dilute the jelly according to the instructions on the package, reducing the amount of water by about a third. Pour off part of the jelly and color it with dye (the color will turn out just disgusting). Pour the red jelly into a bowl and refrigerate to set. Stir the jelly several times so that its surface even remotely resembles the cerebral cortex. Stick gummy worms into the frozen jelly, melt the jelly dyed with dye and pour disgusting streaks over all this abomination. Brrr...

And, of course, you can’t do without the queen of a creepy ball - pumpkins. For kids, a real pumpkin pie will be the best treat. And if you decorate it with an ominous web, then it will also be a terribly delicious cake.



Ingredients:
300 g pumpkin,
100 g butter,
150 g sugar
3 eggs,
1 lemon
1 stack flour,
1 tsp soda.
For decoration:
white and brown glaze.

Pour the brown glaze over the cooled cake, let dry. Using a cornet, apply circles of white icing on the surface of the cake at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. Then, using a thin wooden stick, draw radial strips from the center to the edges, while the circles will be deformed. The web is ready! Get a toy or edible spider and put it on a pie.

Blue-green lemonade. You will need bright yellow lemonade, green and blue food coloring, and ice cubes. Pour lemonade into glasses, put ice and drip a drop of blue and green dye. With a thin stick, lightly stir the ice in the glasses, but do not stir so that bright dye streaks spread inside.

And put on a baking sheet in the form of bones. Put in the oven and bake cakes for 1-1.5 hours. Note: Since nuts contain a lot of oil, it will break up the bubbles formed by proteins. Therefore, if the nuts are ground very finely or if they are kneaded for a long time and intensively, the mass may fall off, i.e. baked meringues will be hollow and may remain sticky in the middle.

- 100 g of cheese;

Salad "Stump with mushrooms"

Ingredients:

For pancakes: 3 eggs, 0.5 cup flour, 1 cup milk, onion, herbs, 2 tablespoons paprika (for color), salt.

For salad: eggs - 3 pcs, boiled potatoes and carrots - 2 pcs each, ham - 300 g, mayonnaise sauce, marinated mushrooms, greens.

Decor: melted cheese (soft), eggs - 2 pcs, marinated mushrooms, greens.

1. First we need to bake brown pancakes. Flour, eggs and milk will be the basis of the dough. For color, add paprika, finely chopped onions and herbs. This amount of products should be enough for about 6 pancakes. We grease them with oil.

2. We clean the potatoes, coarsely three on a grater. Mix in a single mass with mayonnaise and dill. Mayonnaise goes well with sour cream. We do the same with carrots - we clean, three and mix with the sauce. Eggs or finely chop or use a grater. Add mayonnaise to them. Mushrooms, pickled or salted, chop, mix with dill and sauce. Chop the ham into cubes and add the sauce too.

3. We form a hemp. We spread food plastic wrap on the table. Half the pancakes, cutting in diameter. Brush one side with melted cheese. Next, the halves smeared with cheese are laid overlapping on the film. The cut smooth edge of the pancakes will be the base of the stump. If there are larger halves, they must be laid in the place of the foundation of the future "stump". Along the stacked pancakes, we put the filling in strips randomly.
We lift the near side of the film and carefully fold everything into a roll, on one side of which a flat plane should be obtained. This side and put the resulting "stump" on a plate. If pancake tips stick out - cut them off, they will still come in handy.

4. We decorate the salad, bringing it to naturalness with details. We create roots from the remains of pancakes. If gaps remain somewhere, spread these joints with soft cheese. We decorate with greenery and mushrooms, as in the photo. That's where it makes sense to turn around fantasy! You can decorate the salad by setting "fly agarics" from tomato halves, studded with dots of egg whites.
