Instruction manual
1
Grate the sausage cheese and garlic on a medium grater. Add a few tablespoons of mayonnaise. Cut the tomatoes into circles. With a teaspoon, carefully spread the cheese mass into tomato mugs. Garnish with greens.

Make a fresh vegetable salad. Tomatoes and cucumbers in the summer season can be quite affordable. Cut into slices 2 tomatoes and a cucumber, cut a couple of cloves of garlic into thin slices. Put everything in a salad bowl, salt, sprinkle with black pepper, season with sunflower oil. In winter, you can take carrots or beets. Grate raw carrots or boiled beets on a medium grater, add garlic grated on a fine grater (to taste). Salt. Shuffle. Season with mayonnaise.
3
Make a fish salad. Boil the fish. Separate from bones, cut into pieces. Fry separately grated carrots and chopped onions. Lay fish, onions, carrots in layers in a salad bowl. Coat each layer with mayonnaise. Pepper a layer of fish. Layers can be repeated several times.

Make fancy chicken cutlets. At the legs, separate the meat from the bones, chop finely. Add the chopped onion, 4-5 tablespoons of flour, 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 eggs, salt. Leave the mass for pickling for 2-3 hours (you can leave it overnight). Spread the mass in a pan of warmed sunflower oil with a spoon, fry until golden brown.
5
Bake cookies for tea. Mix 0.5 cups of sugar, 1 cup of pickle brine or tomato, 1 teaspoon of soda, slaked vinegar, 0.5 cup of sunflower oil, 3.5 cups of flour. It will turn out a cool dough. Roll it into a layer. Cut the figures out with biscuits and bake on a baking sheet in the oven. It’s important not to dry the cookies.
