Pie "Jack Lantern"

One of the indispensable attributes of Halloween is the flashlightwith a terrible (go amusing) mug, carved from a pumpkin. It's called jack-o'-lantern - Jack's lantern. We suggest you cook a meat pie resembling a lantern. To prepare this dish for Halloween we will take such products:

• 
  1.5 kg of beef


• 
  500 g of puff pastry


• 
  450 g canned tomatoes


• 
  225 ml of red wine


• 
  200 g champignons


• 
  3 tbsp. l. flour


• 
  1 tbsp. l. olive oil


• 
  2 tsp. paprika


• 
  1 tsp. of thyme leaves


• 
  4 cloves of garlic


• 
  2 onions


• 
  2 large fresh tomatoes


• 
  1 celery stick


• 
  1 yolk


• 
  1 handful of finely chopped parsley


• 
  orange food coloring


• 
  Salt and pepper - to taste

Mix in a bowl of flour and paprika. Cut the beef into pieces and crumble in this mixture. We combine in a ceramic form for roasting meat, chopped onion, chopped garlic, finely chopped celery, red wine, chopped canned tomatoes and thyme. Solim and pepper to taste, mix. Cover the lid and put in a preheated oven to 160 degrees. We cook an hour and a half, stirring every half hour.

Chop the champignons finely and fry 3-5 minutes forolive oil (until they become soft). Fresh tomatoes finely chopped. We get the ready beef from the oven. When it has cooled down, add mushrooms, fresh tomatoes and parsley, stir. We shift the filling into a cake mold.

Dough rolled to the thickness of the coin and cut out ofits piece, whose diameter is 5 cm more than its diameter. Cut off the edge of a strip with a width of 2.5 centimeters. Lubricating the edges of the mold with water, attach a strip of dough. Again, lubricate with water. On the test, cut out the same mug as on Jack's lamp, and with the help of a rolling pin, carefully transfer the dough to the mold, covering the filling. We protect the edges. Mix the yolk with orange dye and grease them with the pie cover.

Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes in the oven, heated to 200 degrees.

Cookies "Witch's Fingers"

This cookie has already become traditionalHalloween pastries. It is very tasty, but not everyone will dare to try it, because it looks pretty bittersweak. To prepare this sweet dish for Halloween, we need the following ingredients:

• 
  350-400 g of flour


• 
  200 g of sugar


• 
  150 g of oil


• 
  1 egg


• 
  1 tsp. baking powder


• 
  1 tsp. vanillin


• 
  0,25 tsp. salt


• 
  chocolate


• 
  almond

We take the oil from the refrigerator and give itwarm to room temperature. We beat the butter with sugar and vanillin for five minutes. Add the egg and mix it again. We introduce into the mixture baking powder and flour, knead the dough.

The flour should be introduced gradually, smallin portions, so that the dough is of the right consistency: not sticky and hard. If you overdo it with flour, you will not be able to form a cookie. And with a lack of flour, the "witch's fingers" will spread out in the oven.

Ready to take the dough for half an hour in the refrigerator. At the end of this time, we divide the dough into strips and roll them out with "sausages". We give each "sausage" the shape of a finger (you can even make a knife with small horizontal strips that mimic the folds of the skin on the joints).

The place where the nail should be is greased with chocolate melted on a water bath. We paste a piece of almond on chocolate. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the cookies for 20 minutes.

Bon appetit and fun (and scary) Halloween!
