Scary delicious: 10 quick Halloween recipes
Olga Lukinskaya
Did you spend this weekend at Halloween costumed parties - but on the calendar, the eve of All Saints Day is today. On this occasion, you can, for example, watch your favorite horror movie, arrange a themed dinner or go on a visit, taking an unusual treat - we just made a selection of ideas for it.
Frankenstein Avocado Monster
Chop the avocado pulp, mix with salt, pepper and lemon juice; You can add finely chopped garlic, onions and herbs - you get guacamole. It remains to put the mass on the bread, shape the surface and imitate the eyes and mouth with olives or avocado peels. If you are not a fan of guacamole, use any other dip - for example, mustard or sour cream.
Rice penny
For lovers of carbohydrates: a face from rice, hair from a paste. The clown nose is ideally obtained from a small round tomato, and you can paint with blood ketchup. It would be nice to add a salad of vegetables and something protein like fish or chicken.
Cemetery Cake
If there is no time at all, and you are used to walking around with a purchased cake, you can improve it: make tilted tombstones with inscriptions from cookies. Choose a cake in dark colors - for example, chocolate.
Sausage fingers
At the end of the sausage you need to make a hollow in the shape of a nail, and along the length - slices at the level of "joints"; It remains to cook and artistically decompose. Alternatively, the "fingers" can stick up from the dish upwards (then take care of the length of each, so that it looks like a real hand). If you are not too lazy to tinker, you can make your fingers with nails from thick onion plates - these look quite frightening.
Marshmallow teeth
This is a simple treat that can be made even with children: you take two cookies, arrange small marshmallows in a semicircle and fix the design with semi-liquid red jam for greater likelihood. You can replace cookies with slices of apples.
Dragon eggs from chicken eggs
Cook hard-boiled eggs, crack the shells and cook again - now with any food coloring. The results are unpredictable, and each egg turns out to be unique and as if intertwined with cobwebs. If you cut the eggs in half and draw the iris and pupil on them (for example, from pieces of olives), the dye stains will resemble a vascular grid - a good reminder that you should not sit at your computer for too long.
Mummies from sandwiches
In Instagram, you can find a lot of Halloween mummies from sausages in the dough - but to cook them you need to at least have an oven and a desire to mess around with dough. A hot sandwich is simpler: smear bread with tomato paste, make eyes with olives, lay out the cheese in thin strips and bake for half a minute in the microwave.
Olive Spiders
In fact, the photographs are not spiders, but beetles - they have six paws instead of eight, but nothing prevents to put out from finely chopped olives and a regular spider, and even a centipede. As a basis - boiled eggs, the yolk of which can be mixed with salt and pepper (and you can not do this).
Carrot broom
A useful snack of fresh vegetables: carrots, green onions, as a basis - a cracker stick. It goes well with the dip from the first recipe.
Shrimp skeleton
Pure protein and no empty calories - you just have to show a little imagination and paint on your head, hands and feet. By the way, the spider can also be laid out from the tails of shrimp.
