Picnic menu: sandwiches, snacks wrapped in pita bread, homemade cakes. Picnic ideas

Of course, the Earl of Sandwich did not invent a piece of bread with something tasty on it. This dish was known to people already in the 1st century AD. And this is just a written mention of a dish; it probably existed many centuries before. So John Sandwich is a rather conventional author. He lived in the 18th century and, according to one version, was an avid gambler. One day, while busy playing, he ordered a servant to bring him a snack: a piece of roast beef placed between 2 pieces of bread. This decision allowed him not to get his hands dirty or spoil the cards. And don't be distracted from the game. Other players were inspired by the example and began to order what “Sandwich eats.” Voila, the dish has become popular. Since then, we have been happily eating sandwiches everywhere: at home, at work, and taking them on walks and trips. The most convenient and, by the way, varied food. After all, you can put anything on bread.

In anticipation of the long, three-day weekend, we've collected recipes for sandwiches and sandwiches. You can take them with you when going for a walk in the park or the forest, or even to a museum; the queues for iconic exhibitions invite you to snack.

What food can you take with you when going on a picnic?

When going on a picnic, you need to think in advance about what food you can take with you.

Picnic food:

• Cold appetizers (meat, vegetables) and salads
• Sandwiches
• Pies, pies, cookies, rolls
• Cheeses: processed and hard
• Home canning
• Fruits

Perishable foods cannot be taken on a picnic.
To ensure that the picnic is a success, when going outdoors, you need to follow the following tips:

1. You need to choose bread for sandwiches that doesn’t crumble and requires less cutting: toast, baguette, ciabatta, burger buns.
2. The filling for sandwiches should not be very juicy, otherwise the bread will quickly absorb moisture and will not be appetizing or tasty, and if it turns out juicy, add fresh, finely chopped herbs to it.
3. If you decide to make sandwiches at home, then to speed up the preparation for the picnic, set up a small conveyor belt for yourself: lay out the sliced ​​bread, then grease all the pieces with cheese or some sauce, at the end lay out pieces of meat or vegetables, assemble sandwiches for each picnic participant individually, wrap in foil or cling film.
4. If you are going to make rolls from zucchini and eggplant slices, fry them at home in a small amount of vegetable oil, put them in a plastic tray, and wrap the filling in them outdoors.

Remember. Meat, fish, and sausage cannot be stored for more than 2 hours without a refrigerator, so if you travel far to your vacation spot, they may go bad—it’s better not to take them.

Useful tips

• If the ingredients are juicy, it is better to prepare the sandwiches on the spot.
• Firstly, because of them, the bread can become soggy.
• Secondly, condensation will collect in the bag or tray where the finished sandwiches are placed, which, again, will cause the bread to become too soft.
• If you want to use meat products (sausage, cutlets, bacon) in hot weather, you should bring them chilled and in a thermal bag. It is not recommended to keep such products out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours. Especially in combination with sauce and fresh vegetables.
• If you are losing weight, give up mayonnaise, butter and even vegetable oil. Instead, you can use yogurt, horseradish, and mustard. For example, a sauce made from light unsweetened yogurt, garlic and mustard has proven itself to be excellent.
• Taking a board and a knife, grab a towel - a roll of paper or cotton.

How to pack food for a picnic?

When packing food for a picnic, you must comply with the following requirements:

1. Each dish must be placed in a separate bowl. You can use plastic boxes.
2. It’s better not to make sandwiches at home, but to prepare everything you need separately, and when you arrive at your vacation spot, quickly spread everything on bread or other baked goods.
3. Bread products cut into pieces at home can be taken with you in a plastic bag.
4. Snacks with a strong smell, such as fish, should be packed in an airtight container.
5. To serve food at a picnic, it is best for each member to take disposable dishes separately.
6. Don't forget to take something to dry your hands with you: napkins, reusable or disposable towels.

Sweet sandwiches

In nature, people most often eat hot kebabs or steaks, so outdoor sandwich recipes are based on sausage, vegetables, cheese, and fish. But if you have children in the company, it’s also worth preparing sweet ingredients.

And the trip is different - sometimes you want to go on a picnic, waiting for an unusually warm autumn weekend. In such cases, take a thermos with hot tea - and a sweet treat that warms the soul!

With curd cream

• 1 pack of soft cottage cheese;
• 100 g sugar;
• 120 ml thick sour cream (thicker);
• zest of 0.3 lemon;
• vanillin (on the tip of a knife);
• 100 g marmalade (cut);
• a piece of chocolate for each sandwich;
• White bread.

Grind cottage cheese with sugar and sour cream. Add vanilla, zest, marmalade (you can use candied fruits instead). Spread on bread, decorate each piece with chocolate. Serve immediately as this spread is moist.

By the way! Instead of bread, you can use shortbread or cake pieces.

With Nutella, banana and blueberries

• Loaf (sliced) or white toast bread;
• jar of Nutella;
• a couple of bananas;
• 30 g blueberries (pre-washed and placed in a jar in which the berries will not be crushed along the way).

Spreading such sandwiches is a must. The banana is peeled, cut into thin slices, which are laid out on top of the chocolate-nut butter. Berries are laid out between banana rings.

You can also cook Nutella at home. For this you will need:

• a third of a glass of milk;
• the same amount of sugar;
• 20 g cocoa;
• 15 g butter;
• 10 g of flour and roasted, ground walnuts.

Mix the dry ingredients, then pour in the milk and heat over low heat. When the future paste boils and thickens, add a piece of butter.

By the way! Instead of bananas and berries, each sandwich can be topped with brightly colored Skittles or M&D's.

What do you need to know about sandwiches at a picnic to avoid gaining extra pounds?

Many women refuse sandwiches because they quickly make them fat.

There are secrets on how to stay slim and not give up a sandwich:

• Do not use mayonnaise or other fatty sauces for sandwiches; make them yourself using yogurt, fermented baked milk, vegetable juice and mustard.
• It is important how you decorate sandwiches with low-calorie foods. Pieces of sun-dried tomatoes, grilled sweet peppers, seasonings, celery, basil, and mint look beautiful on a sandwich.
• To avoid gaining weight, choose lean meat for a picnic: chicken fillet, turkey.

Club sandwich

There are not only simple sandwiches, but also so-called club sandwiches. They consist of three layers of bread with fillings. For a classic American club sandwich, you need three slices of toast bread (healthy bread with bran will not work in this case, it crumbles when sliced). They need to be fried in a toaster or in a frying pan without oil and greased with mayonnaise mixed with Dijon mustard: the top and bottom pieces on one side, the one in the middle on both. Then top the first piece of toast with smoked turkey fillet, a slice of ham and iceberg lettuce. Cover it all with a second piece of toasted and coated with sauce. Then add the turkey and ham again and add new ingredients - fried bacon and cheddar cheese. Cover everything with lettuce leaves and toast bread. When the triple sandwich is ready, pierce it in four places with skewers and cut it crosswise. This is a classic version of the recipe that can always be changed according to your taste and the availability of food in the refrigerator.

What else can you cook at a picnic besides barbecue?

Grilled lavash cooks even faster

Baked corn with cheese

Let's take:

• Corn cobs with leaves according to the number of vacationers
• 100 g hard cheese
• 1-2 tbsp. l. mayonnaise
• Foil for wrapping corn

Cooking:

1. Soak the corn cobs and leaves in water for 15-20 minutes.
2. We take the corn out of the water and let it drain.
3. We wrap each cob separately in foil.
4. When the fire burns out a little and coals form, put our preparations on them and wait 25-30 minutes.
5. We take one piece out of the coals, carefully unfold it and try to see if the corn is ready; if it is ready, we take out all the bundles.
6. First we unfold the foil, then we don’t tear off the leaves, but pull them to the base of the cob - it’s convenient to hold the corn by them and eat it, because it’s hot.
7. We grease an ear of corn without leaves with mayonnaise, sprinkle with grated cheese, and it immediately begins to melt, and enjoy the taste of the food.

Another dish prepared at a picnic is corn baked on coals.

Hamburgers and panino

The complex filling does not hold well on an open sandwich and it is not very convenient to eat - you can get your hands dirty. According to one version, the Englishman John Montague, the fourth Earl of Sandwich , encountered exactly this problem during a card game, so he asked the cook to cover his roast beef with two pieces of bread. This happened in 1762, and now every country has its own version of a closed sandwich, named a sandwich in honor of the count. In India they prepare vegetarian sandwiches, in America - hamburgers and cheeseburgers, in Italy - panino (establishments that sell only sandwiches are called paninothecas). The bread, fillings and spices used are different, but the cooking technologies are approximately the same: cut the bun in half or take two slices of bread 0.5 cm thick. Lubricate the first with a butter mixture or sauce (pesto, sauce based on mayonnaise or sour cream with the addition of mustard, capers, anchovies , avocado, herring). Then add some vegetable for juiciness - lettuce, tomato slice, cucumber slice, grated carrot. Then you add the main ingredient - cutlet, chicken, tuna fillet, sausage, meat, fish, shrimp, cheese - and cover it all with a second piece of bread. If the filling is a little dry, the “lid” can also be greased with sauce.

• 4 small spoons of ketchup.

Soak one bun in milk. Combine with meat and prepare 4 round cutlets. The pieces should be slightly wider than the buns - they will shrink when frying.

Cut the buns. If there is a grill, both halves can be lightly fried over coals until golden brown.

Assemble the Krabby Patty according to the following scheme: lettuce + cutlet + cheese slice + tomato slice + several pickled onion slices + pickled cucumber slices + top part of the bun.

It is better to assemble the burgers on the spot. Fry the cutlets just before leaving, put them in a tray and wrap them in a towel so they arrive warm.

Hot stars with boiled sausage
