The most useful and delicious dishes are obtained with fresh milk, although the preparation of melted and condensed milk, recipes of which are popular with chefs, allows you to preserve this product without losing its taste qualities. Dairy products, cheese, butter, sour cream are made from milk, porridges, soups, pastries and sweets are prepared.
Types of Milk
The dairy industry produces pasteurized and sterilized milk. It is believed that the pasteurized product is more useful because it preserves beneficial microorganisms.
During pasteurization, the fermentation process simply slows down, therefore, the shelf life of the product is extended to 36-38 hours.
Sterilized milk differs from pasteurized milk in that it is almost completely free of microorganisms. Its shelf life is six months. Sterilized milk is good to use with tea and cocoa. The same dishes are prepared from sterilized milk that can be prepared from pasteurized milk.
What to Make From Milk?
We often cook a lot of nutritious dishes at home from pasteurized milk. Dishes such as drinks with chocolate, sugar, juices and syrups are popular. Milk can be consumed with coffee, tea. Milk recipes are also advised to use for making soups, breakfasts and various sauces. Milk is also added to confectionery and to the dough during baking.
Recipes with milk are used to make milk soups and nutritious cereal porridges. Creams, souffles, ice cream are unthinkable without milk. Milk is also needed for making casseroles, puddings, pancakes and fritters. It can be the basis for porridge or soup, dessert or sauce, baking or cocktail. There are many milk dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For a good sleep, it is recommended to drink milk with honey at night.
From simple milk, you can make real treats that neither adults nor children will refuse. Milkshakes with fruit, syrup or chocolate and vanilla are a real feast of taste. There are dozens of options for coffee with milk. You can also make condensed milk at home. It is very convenient to cook condensed milk in a slow cooker, since the whole process is automated. Finally, homemade fermented milk products, such as homemade yogurt, are much tastier than store-bought ones.
What to Cook From Sour Milk?
Milk is a perishable product. But sour milk is also usable, so many are interested in what to cook from sour milk. First of all, these are various flour products. Recipes for pancakes and pies are at your service. Sour milk makes the dough lush. There is also a vegetable salad or a vegetable snack, in which sour milk can also be used. Finally, to make a delicious dough for dumplings, you can also take sour milk.
Snacks “for one bite” are very convenient on the festive table. That’s the option I decided to offer today. Profiteroles made of custard dough with meat mousse and seafood mousse. In the center of the serving dish, so that it is absolutely New Year’s, you can put a conditional “Christmas wreath”.
Cannelloni is a dish as characteristic of Italy as pizza and pasta, although in fact it is pasta with all kinds of fillings. I suggest you get acquainted with cannelloni with seafood. Interestingly, I met the idea of using crab sticks in this recipe precisely in the vastness of the Italian (!) culinary blogosphere. Apparently, there are problems with fresh crabs in Italy, and then high-quality crab sticks may well diversify the taste of the dish and add those sweet crab notes to it. In our latitudes, the situation with crabs is much worse, and sometimes you really want to treat yourself to Italian dishes, well – there is nothing easier!
It is under this name that a magnificent lasagna with seafood, an unusual sauce and juicy crab sticks is hidden. The mastermind behind this recipe is Jamie Oliver.
