Any, even the simplest dish will look more appetizing if it is decorated with vegetable flowers. Multicolored vegetables in themselves create a festive mood, and if you cut out pretty flowers, fancy leaves from them, then your dish will certainly become a masterpiece.
Instructions
Step 1
The simplest flowers can be cut from circles. Cut carrots, radishes, or beets into circles. Cut triangles around the edge with a sharp knife. Decorate aspic of fish or meat with such flowers.
Step 2
Roses can be cut from tomatoes. Cut off the top and bottom of the vegetable. With a thin, sharp knife, cut the skin in a spiral. Roll the resulting spiral into a rose shape. Set it on a salad, complementing it with greens or cucumber leaves.
Step 3
Just make a lily out of a tomato. Make punctures in it to the center at an angle. Then divide into 2 halves. One tomato will make 2 lilies. Make the middle of the flower from an olive or a pea.
Step 4
Beautiful bells are obtained from boiled beets or carrots, fresh or pickled cucumbers. Cut off the top of the vegetable in such a way that you get a cone, and, being careful not to disturb this shape, cut off a thin layer one circle, then the next. Turn the resulting cap upside down, put an oblong piece of another vegetable in the middle, and the bell is ready. Place two or three bells together on a platter, or spread them between slices of a snack.
Step 5
Make chamomile from potatoes. Cut off both ends of the large tuber in the form of a cone. Cut off a small part, trying to make the tips of the petals rounded. Insert a carrot button into the middle of the chamomile.
Step 6
To make a dahlia, you need turnips, beets, or radishes. Grind them into a flattened ball. Cut out the petals in symmetrical rows with special notches of different sizes. Trim the spaces between the petals with a large oval notch. Repeat this until the end of the dahlia carving. Fix the finished flower on a stick. Then attach the greens to the stick and place it on the salad.
Step 7
Cut a vase for vegetable flowers out of a pumpkin. To do this, choose a pumpkin that is even on all sides, of a beautiful color. Cut the edges on the pumpkin with a thin knife, like the edges on a crystal vase. In some places on the pumpkin, make recesses with a recess, insert pieces of vegetables of a different color into them, taken out with the same recess. Hollow out the pulp with seeds from the pumpkin and place a head of cabbage in it, fix sticks with vegetable flowers and celery, parsley, lettuce on it. Such a vase will certainly decorate your festive table.
