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.
Bright, vitamin-rich, juicy, light salad! And it is incredibly delicious and healthy! I would never have thought that a chickpea salad could be delicious if I hadn’t tried it. Now I cook this salad quite often. Moreover, chickpeas are a protein-rich, low-calorie product.
To be honest, the name does not quite reflect the essence and purpose of this dish. It can be served as a salad, as a side dish, and as an independent dish. I, as an ardent fan of movies and baked vegetables, fell in love with this recipe seriously and for a long time. Delicious, healthy, fast, easy-this dish has a lot of advantages. Vegetables can be taken to your taste, but it was the combination of carrots and pumpkins that I liked the most. The dish is great for vegetarians and fasters.
I want to offer a very tasty and very simple salad recipe. Initially, the feed was planned in red cabbage leaves, but I, unfortunately, did not find it. I replaced it with the usual white one.
