Another year is about to end and all of us are busy making plans to celebrate the New Year’s Eve with friends, family and loved ones. As 2020 was unlike any other year because of the coronavirus, lockdown and millions of deaths across the world, the celebrations hold even more meaning for us. It is a chance to step into 2021 with our loved ones, hoping to form new memories and recollections.
Evening parties, where people dance, eat, drink, and watch or light fireworks—is what New Year’s Eve celebrations are all about. Moreover, there is no doubt about the fact that the celebrations are incomplete without sumptuous and delicious food. If you too are organizing a New Year’s Eve party at your home, here are some easy recipes for you.
02/6Stuffed Mushrooms
1. Preheat the oven to 200 C. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Remove stems from 500 gm. mushrooms and roughly chop them. Place mushroom caps on the baking sheet.
2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp. butter. Add chopped mushrooms stems and cook until most of the moisture is out. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, then add 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and let toast slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl mix together mushroom stem mixture, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup cream cheese, 2 tbsp. chopped parsley, and 1 tbsp. thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Fill mushroom caps with filling and sprinkle with more Parmesan.
4. Bake until mushrooms are soft and the tops are golden (20 minutes).
5. Garnish with more parsley before serving.
03/6Mashed Potato Balls
1. In a large bowl, combine 3 cup mashed potatoes, 2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
2. Place 2 beaten eggs and 1.5 cups bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Use a spoon to scoop balls of mashed potato mixture. Roll into a ball in your hands, then dredge first in egg and then in bread crumbs. Repeat until all mashed potatoes are used.
3. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Fry potato balls in batches until golden on all sides. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and season immediately with more salt.
04/6Greek Feta Dip
1. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat 1.5 cup feta cheese, 1 cup Greek yoghurt, 1 cup softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice and zest (1 lemon) until fluffy and combined. Season with salt and red pepper flakes and stir in 2 tbsp. chopped dill.
2. Transfer dip to a serving bowl and top with 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil.
3. Serve with pita chips or nachos.
05/6Garlicky Shrimp Cocktail
1. Preheat the oven to 200 C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together 500 gm. shrimp (cleaned and deveined), 2 tbsp. olive oil, juice of 1/2 lemon, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp. chopped parsley and salt and pepper.
3. Place shrimp on a baking sheet and roast until golden and cooked through (8-10 minutes). Serve with marinara sauce.
06/6Oven Avocado Fries
1. Preheat the oven to 200 C. Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tbsp. canola oil.
2. Toss 2 cup breadcrumbs, 1.5 tsp. chilli powder, and 3 tbsp. canola oil in a shallow bowl until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk together 2/3 cup buttermilk and 1 egg in a separate bowl, and place 2/3 cup flour in a third bowl.
3. Grab 3 firm but ripe avocados and cut each into 6 wedges. Season them with salt and pepper.
4. Working with one wedge at a time, toss in flour, then in buttermilk mixture (letting any excess drip off), and then in breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake until golden brown (30 minutes). Season with some more salt and pepper.
