Lemons are used in cooking entirely, but most often you will meet dishes with lemon juice. They are sprinkled with fish to get rid of the characteristic aroma. Seafood is pickled in it, added to salad dressings and sauces, and the taste of compotes, jam and jam cocktails is improved. Lemon juice can be used in creams, they also extinguish soda instead of vinegar. It is only important that there are no ingredients in the dish that are stratified by contact with acid.
What to Cook with Lemon Juice?
Dozens and hundreds of drinks are prepared on the basis of lemon juice. It is boiled in thick syrup, frozen in molds, added to sweets. A chicken or turkey watered with juice will be doubly tender and will definitely not dry out. Organic acids soften pork fibers so that the meat melts in the mouth. Lemon juice dishes are very popular in Chinese and Indian cuisine. After all, they even sprinkle herring with them when serving to the table!
How to Choose and Store Lemons?
High-quality fruits are dense, with a smooth skin, there are no dents and dark spots on them. With a short warming in warm hands, the lemon exudes an intense aroma inherent only in this citrus. Lemons are well preserved in the refrigerator. Additional time to the shelf life is added by packing each fruit in clean paper and placing lemons wrapped in a plastic bag in a separate chamber for vegetables and fruits. Long-term storage reduces the acidity of fruits, since a significant amount of citric acid is transformed into sugars over time. It prolongs the “life time” of lemons by immersing them for seconds in moderately hot molten paraffin: this creates a protective layer covering the fruit. Lemons are well stored in boxes with sand, which is pre-calcined for the purpose of disinfection.
As always, I was looking for variety and found some simple and delicious recipes for cooking fish fillets. This recipe is a real lifesaver if you need to feed your family quickly and deliciously. You can take any fish, according to your taste.
There are a lot of terrine options on the site, but I really wanted to share this recipe. The minimum amount of ingredients, but thanks to their variety, the terrine turned out to be very tender, juicy and piquant.
Pike perch is marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, honey with fish seasoning and baked in the oven on a grill under the grill. The fish turned out very tasty and juicy inside. Just an amazing dish!
Tartlets are the most convenient snack for a buffet table! I offer an interesting and delicious version of the filling with avocado sauce and eggs stuffed with shrimp salad!
I think I will not be mistaken if I say that stuffed eggs are a world snack!!! It is popular on any table. And at high receptions, quail eggs with caviar are served, and on the most modest table of the most ordinary Russian family we will meet stuffed eggs – canned fish, ham, cheese, herring… and much more than that. As they say, what is enough imagination. My fantasy today suggested this option. A “fun” bright snack of proteins stuffed with beetroot, herring and caviar mousse. Why are they green??? See – the answer is in the recipe!!
I propose to prepare another unusual jam: tender, moderately sweet, with a subtle aroma of chocolate – it will appeal to all lovers of sweets. And since there are a lot of freaks this year, I recommend preparing.
Almost like mayonnaise. The Christmas fast is coming to an end. But Lent is not far off. On days when vegetable oil can be used, this sauce is very useful! The husband and children ask him to cook, even when the fast ends. I hope you will appreciate it.
Stuffed eggs on the festive table have always been one of the popular snacks. You can experiment endlessly with fillings for them, which I tried to do) Two mousses of pale green and pink, it seems to me, harmoniously merged in color and taste. I suggest you try it!
I suggest a light snack – egg white stuffed with egg yolk with avocado, tomatoes and spices. The snack is good with chips, with black bread. Experiment and enjoy!!!
The recipe for this salad I took from the book of two wonderful chefs Gotama Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi. A very spicy salad is served as a Meze appetizer for meat dishes. Crispy kohlrabi in cream sauce with spicy additives.
