Garlic contains many useful substances and is a fairly high-calorie product. On the one hand, it is not worth worrying about excess weight at all, because because of the sharpness this vegetable is usually consumed in small quantities. On the other hand, it is considered a strong appetite booster.
Thanks to its piquant taste and characteristic smell, garlic has become popular with chefs from many countries of the world. In Italian cuisine, for example, cooking almost any dish begins with dripping a little olive oil into a frying pan, putting a few cloves of garlic on it, frying them for a short time so that they give off flavor, and then adding the main ingredients. Interestingly, in addition to the heads themselves, when preparing various dishes, it is quite possible to use the leaves and arrows of the plant.
It is impossible to ignore the fashionable culinary trend of recent years – black garlic. To the surprise of many, it turns out that this is not a special variety at all, but just an unusual way of cooking. Garlic heads are exposed to elevated temperatures for a long time (2-3 weeks) (about 40 ° C). As a result, after a series of chemical reactions, garlic bulbs begin to darken and turn black. At the same time, they have a sweet taste, and they lose their characteristic garlic smell, while retaining almost all the properties of a fresh vegetable. Note to lovers of exotic dishes: in the town of Gilroy (USA) they sell garlic jam. This, of course, is not a dessert, but rather a sweet-spicy sauce that goes well with meat. Here you can also find an unusual garlic ice cream. They also sell baked garlic in Gilroy. When exposed to high temperature, the vegetable loses its sharpness and becomes very soft. Here it is served with meat or simply spread on bread.
As for the combination with other products, garlic is advised to combine with whole grain cereals (oatmeal, buckwheat, wheat, etc.), which contain a lot of zinc and iron. Garlic contributes to the better assimilation of these elements. Also, this vegetable is harmoniously combined with parsley, cilantro, black pepper and watercress.
Finally, a few words about the unloved garlic smell, which is so difficult to get rid of after eating. As mentioned earlier, just “chewing” this flavor with gum will not work, because it leaves the body not only with breathing, but also with other secretions. However, scientists still came to the conclusion that animal fats can help to drive away the intrusive smell from the body faster. For example, you can eat garlic with cheese or drink milk. Lemon, apple and mint leaves can also help. In addition, garlic loses its smell during heat treatment.
This soup is so thick that it can be served with the second course. It is somewhat similar to soup, but the cooking method is very different. Very satisfying and delicious!
There are many lagman recipes on the Internet, with different ingredients and different interpretations. Offer me the recipe that you like the most. This is a dish of Caucasian cuisine, very tasty and satisfying.
Lagman is a dish that everyone should try. And don’t put the whole vegetable garden in this dish. Minimum ingredients. Maximum flavor. A rational approach. Try cooking this.
I made lagman. This, of course, is not a classic recipe, but we prepare it that way. Served as a first course. Seasonal vegetables are used in lagman. The dish turns out juicy, bright in taste and appearance.
One day, during a vacation in Sudak, my friends and I went to a small cafe. Since the cafe prefers to try dishes that have never been tried, they ordered lagman. After a short time, the waiter brought a bowl full of noodles with meat and vegetables. The aroma of the dish was mind-blowing, and the taste was beyond praise. I offer you a recipe for this wonderful dish!
I have seen lagman’s recipes, but there is no such thing as I learned to do in Kyrgyzstan. In Kyrgyzstan, lagman was a daily dish, but here in Russia, I cook only on holidays. It is well suited to both the first and the second course.
Lagman is a well-known dish, and there are not so many recipes for its preparation. For me, not only the taste is important in the recipe, but also the simplicity of cooking. My version seems to me just very tasty and not difficult to prepare. I hope you enjoy it.
My family and I have been in love with Central Asian cuisine for almost 30 years and have been living in Osh (Kyrgyzstan) for 5 years. That’s when I tried this dish. It was prepared by the Uighurs, although the Uzbeks, Kazakhs (batta) have the same lagman. This dish is considered a thick soup.
