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.
I suggest you cook a very delicate, airy and beautiful sponge cake with creamy cottage cheese cream. I saw the recipe on a foreign website and couldn’t pass it by.
This dish could be called a lamb roll, but the slicing was too thick for a roll. The heavy hammer I wielded mercilessly didn’t help either. I didn’t want to mess with this case for a long time. I really bent it into a RAM’s horn, but roulette in the full sense of the word did not work. It turned out what happened. The main thing is that it was delicious!
A delicious and very simple salad that can be quickly prepared if you want to have a snack, or friends unexpectedly come to visit. Avocado and beans make a hearty salad, and fresh cucumber turns out fresh and crispy.
I present to your attention one of my favorite salads, which perfectly combines crispy arugula with caramelized chicken liver, tomatoes and olives. A very tasty dish.
Tender, delicious and very simple puffs with prune filling. Aurel Bronte writes that in the traditional recipe, the dough is quite complicated, so at Christmas most people cook it together with their children from purchased puff pastry.
This light, delicious summer salad is prepared in the blink of an eye! It is perfect for any dish, as well as as a side dish for any meat, fish and barbecue.
A delicious, hearty snack with a bright and unusual taste. The snack can be served as a full-fledged salad or put the salad on a slice of black bread and serve with herring.
