Cold cuts are an attribute of traditional Russian festive feasts, which in Russian families are also called cold cuts or meat platter. It is she who is a sign of abundance, must be served if the presence of men is expected, and can be very diverse. In turn, the correct decoration of the slices can make them even more appetizing.
Simple decoration of a cold cuts dish
You can not use any extraneous products, but just try to beautifully lay out the pieces of meat products in a circle or in the form of parts / segments. True, it will be better for this if you purchase a large number of different types of sausages or products, which will allow you to show great imagination when serving.
It will also not be difficult to roll pieces of meat or sausage into small tubes, combined with the same tubes from fresh vegetables (cucumbers or others). For better fixation, you can even stab them with toothpicks, which will give the slicing an even more appetizing look. In the future, these tubes are laid out in a slide or in one layer, filled with pate, olives, herbs or green salad.
Another rather simple way to decorate the cold cuts is to lay out slices folded in half, mixed with slices of cucumbers, radishes or bell peppers. The contrast between the color of the meat and vegetables will make the dish more festive. A combination of all the above methods on one large dish can also be an original solution.
Other ways to decorate cold cuts
In modern restaurants, other products are also used to decorate dishes with meat products and sausages - Peking cabbage leaves, leeks, canned corn or green peas, grapes, bright pomegranate seeds, as well as sweet paprika, seasonings or pieces of hot red pepper.
An excellent solution is to place a sauceboat filled with salt, mustard, mayonnaise or other sauces in the center of the sliced meat plate. Bell pepper halves that have been previously cleaned of seeds can also be an excellent solution. Such halves are like a second course for slices of meat, which will make the serving of the dish even more spectacular.
Another option for decorating a dish with meat products or sausage will be decoration with so-called carving products. To do this, you need to purchase special knives and molds for carving, with which you can cut various shapes from vegetables. It is best to use firm varieties of vegetables, such as fresh carrots, cucumbers, or leeks. And here you can use the same toothpicks, with the help of which you can make a kind of fruit-vegetable-meat canapes, which will be appreciated by your hungry guests.
