Prepare la decoración festiva

Published

(Family Features) Deliciosa comida, vino refinado, amigos y familiares. Estos son algunos de los ingredientes preferidos de la temporada festiva.

Afortunadamente, es posible organizar una celebración innovadora con familiares y amigos sin gastar una fortuna. En ALDI, puede ahorrar hasta un 50% en vinos, y productos para cocinar y hornear.*

Un menú con aperitivos encantadoramente presentados y vin brûlé (vino caliente con especias) puede transformar su reunión en un momento memorable. Siga estos consejos de Janice Stahl, estilista culinaria y clienta fiel de ALDI:

  • Elija un tema: piense en un tema que cree un clima alegre y genere diálogo entre los invitados. Por ejemplo, “Invierno blanco”, los invitados se vestirán de blanco, ofrecerá solo vinos blancos, espumantes y alimentos con colores claros (langostinos, quesos y galletas de mantequilla de postre).
  • Genere un clima festivo: decore la casa conforme al tema elegido. Para generar una experiencia festiva innovadora, invite a su casa al “Invierno blanco” con nieve artificial sobre los manteles y ramas de hojas perennes pintadas de dorado y plateado por todos lados.
  • Decore la bandeja de quesos: prepare una mesa de quesos simple pero espectacular. Para ello, ofrezca una selección de 3 a 5 quesos de diferentes texturas y sabores. El queso blando (como el de cabra) combina bien con galletas saladas. El queso semiduro (como el manchego) combina con jaleas o mermeladas ácidas. Sirva los quesos ahumados con frutas secas (nueces), y los quesos madurados, como el parmesano, con vegetales crocantes (apio o pepino) para resaltar los sabores del proceso de maduración.
  • Añada un toque europeo: prepare su propia versión del vino caliente europeo, una combinación de vino tinto y especias que crean un trago festivo. Refuerce el toque francés con crêpes deliciosos como aperitivo o dulces como postre.
  • Postre casero: prepare una mesa dulce en lugar de servir los postres. Para armar una mesa atractiva, coloque diversos chocolates, dulces y caramelos duros en frascos de vidrio transparente. Combine formas y tamaños diferentes. Ofrezca bolsas pequeñas y sujetadores para que los invitados personalicen su postre e incluso lleven algo a casa.

Creaciones con crêpes
Ofrezca a sus invitados una estación de elaboración de crêpes (panqueques) para probar y crear sabores divertidos e interesantes como aperitivos, postres o delicias de medianoche.

  • Ofrezca diferentes tipos de panqueques con chocolate, café, limón e incluso cerveza.
  • Cree rellenos innovadores como mantequilla de almendras, frutas en conserva o calabaza asada.
  • Para los invitados más aventureros, agregue aderezos como crema de avellanas, ricota batida o salsa de manzana, pero ofrezca también los aderezos más comunes, como azúcar impalpable, salsa de chocolate o crema batida.

Con estos simples consejos asequibles y recetas fáciles de preparar, sorprenderá a sus invitados. Para obtener más ideas divertidas, visite www.aldi.us.

Fresh, Filling Springtime Salads

Published

on

salad (Family Features) When the crisp air of spring tickles your face and sunrays splash you with warmth, you know salad season has arrived. With fresh flavors abounding this season, the options are nearly endless – just choose your favorite base, toppings and dressings and you’re set with a delicious first course or hearty meal all on its own. Not every salad requires leafy greens for the base, however. Consider this Greek Beet and Watermelon Rice Salad, a Greek-inspired Jasmine rice dish loaded with fresh, tangy flavors that are sure to please your taste buds. Made with Success Boil-in-Bag Jasmine Rice that cooks up soft and fluffy every time, this recipe offers a hint of floral, sweet flavor to keep you feeling full. In just 10 minutes, you can have sweetly aromatic Jasmine rice that’s perfect for your lifestyle needs – it’s naturally gluten free, non-GMO Project Verified and free of MSG and preservatives. Fruit salad may be nothing new, particularly when using fruits like oranges, cherries or grapes, but watermelon may be the fun new spin you need at your next cookout. The pairing of sweet watermelon, tangy feta cheese, refreshing mint, earthy beets, nuts and fluffy rice offers a winning combination. Quick tip: Make sure the rice is fully cooled after cooking to avoid a warm, watery result. Fresh herbs, tomatoes, corn, basmati rice and a simple vinaigrette make Spring Corn and Rice Salad another delicious seasonal side that’s ready in just 15 minutes. Step out of your salad comfort zone with this refreshing solution that makes it easy to add veggies to your diet. When you’re drawing up weekly meal plans and tired of relying on traditional lettuce-based salads, consider rice salads as an alternative for enjoying chopped vegetables – plus, hearty rice can help keep you full longer. Better yet, you can make this rice salad your own by experimenting with the ingredients. Try adding shredded chicken, hard-boiled eggs, fresh mango, ground cumin, fresh grated ginger, grilled corn or any other springtime flavors. Remember, high quality doesn’t have to be high maintenance. Aromatic, premium long-grain  Success Boil-in-Bag Basmati Rice is a no measure, no mess option that cooks up perfectly every time. Aside from being naturally gluten free, it’s also free of preservatives and MSG and is non-GMO Project Verified. It’s no stranger to versatility either – in 10 minutes, you can enjoy basmati rice’s subtle, nutty flavor and unique texture alongside other warm-weather favorites.
