Classic recipe

Place a pan of water on the fire; it should be high the entire time the crayfish are boiling. Throw in MORE dill (you can use dry, you can use fresh). For 1 kg of crayfish, add 100 g of salt (it is difficult to over-salt crayfish, since it is difficult for salt to penetrate the crayfish meat through the shell). If desired, you can add lemon at the rate of ½ lemon per 1 kg of crayfish, or bay leaf to taste. Wait until the water comes to a boil. After this, we throw live crayfish into boiling water, the water should cover them by one phalanx of a finger (approximately). Now wait until the water with the crayfish boils, let them boil for 10-15 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let them steep in the brine. Crayfish are ready!

Taurus

Taurus people know how to fully enjoy the taste of foods and various dishes, sometimes without controlling portion sizes. They are not indifferent to sweets and baked goods. To avoid weight problems, you should include in your menu as many light, non-starchy vegetables as possible - green leafy salads of various varieties, cucumbers, beets, celery.

Despite their “earthly” nature, representatives of this sign are willing to try new things. Taurus people need to get acquainted with a variety of fish dishes. To support digestion, you need to regularly consume fermented milk products - by the way, many of them can be an excellent base for unusual sauces.

Cancer

Sensitive and gentle Cancers often turn out to be extremely conservative in matters of nutrition. For many years they can cook only those dishes that are familiar to them from childhood, and they try new things with caution. Cancers should refrain from going “extreme” when it comes to choosing products.

Simple and traditional dishes like vegetable soups and light meat with cereals may well be the basis of the daily menu. The main thing is the freshness of the products and the balance of the ingredients. If you want variety, meat in proven recipes for hot dishes can be replaced with fish. Salmon or tuna are easy to use for sandwiches and appetizers.

Fish salad

We acquire the required components:

• fish – 500 g,
• carrots,
• sour cream and mayonnaise - 100 g servings each,
• dill,
• apple,
• Dutch cheese – 150 g,
• a couple of eggs and
• walnuts.

In order to prepare “crawfish necks,” we turn fish of any type into pieces by cutting. Carrots and dill are also chopped. Boil everything cooked in a saucepan with water until done.

After removing the fish, you need to cool it, place it in a blender along with the carrots and beat thoroughly. Chop the remaining dill, add it to the fish, and mix. The result was Cancer Cocks.

We prepare the dressing by combining sour cream and mayonnaise with each other. This is a multi-layer salad, so the “crawfish necks” act as the first layer, the peeled and grated apple serves as the second layer, smeared with dressing. Hard-boiled eggs are peeled and grated. Next they are laid out as a third layer, lubricated with dressing.

Then comes the cheese mass, grated and lubricated with dressing. The final layer of the dish will be grated and coated with Dutch cheese. Chopped parsley and walnuts will serve to decorate the salad.

Crayfish neck and egg salad

For this recipe you will need:

• crayfish (necks)

Prepare in the following order:

Scales

“Airy” Libras are attentive to others and to themselves, so they choose food intuitively - based on what the body “requests” at the moment. Representatives of this sign do not refuse new things, but it is important for them to adhere to their own food rituals, for example, serving dishes or preparing food in a certain way.

Poultry and meat in Libra's diet should be lean and not spicy, and their quantity should be moderate. You need as much grains, legumes, and vegetables as possible. You can add sesame and chia seeds to salads, main courses and desserts. Libra's favorite fruits may be apples and pears, raspberries and lemons.
