Onions in cooking are used in raw, boiled, fried, pickled and salted types. Although to preserve all the useful properties, minimal thermal exposure is recommended. Onions can be both a flavor seasoning for the main dish (and it is combined with meat, fish, rice, potatoes, flour products, cottage cheese, and other vegetables), and the basis of the recipe. Many national cuisines have their own “branded” culinary products, in which onions can be called a key ingredient: French onion soup, British onion pie, etc. There are some culinary tricks that will allow you to cook this product (or a dish based on it) as tasty as possible: If you add a little granulated sugar to the oil during frying, the onions will brown better. So that the chopped onion does not burn during sauteing, before sending it to the frying pan, you should roll the “straw” in flour. Then it will simply acquire a reddish hue. Onions can be added to minced meat not only to improve the taste, but also to extend the shelf life of the meat part. To get rid of onion bitterness in the manufacture of salads, raw onions are slightly scalded with boiling water, and hands and knife are smeared with wet salt.
When choosing onions, preference should be given to dense clean heads, without damage, holes and stains. The sweetness-bitterness of a vegetable depends not only on the variety, but also on the length of daylight in the place of cultivation (southern onions are considered sweeter), the mineral content of the soil, the softness of the climate, the abundance of precipitation, etc. For example, with a large amount of annual precipitation, sulfur is actively washed out of the soil, which creates prerequisites for growing a sweeter vegetable. However, in general, it is believed that white varieties have a stronger flavor and are better suited for filling pies, red and purple ones have a sweet taste and are well combined in salads and marinades, and the Spanish variety is softer and sweeter, as well as onions with yellow–brown husks are better suited for frying.
I suggest you try a warm salad of mushrooms and Peking cabbage. Minimum of products, fast cooking, affordable products, and most importantly very tasty.
There is a cold appetizer, which is prepared from minced meat, minced meat or fish with various additives. To preserve juiciness, the top of the terrine is covered with a layer of bacon or jelly. I suggest you try this option. Delicious, fragrant, interesting in context. You can cook it the day before the holiday, and then serve it on the table and please your loved ones. After all, the dish turns out much better and tastier than sliced meat from the store.
Potato casserole with chicken meatballs and beans with vegetables in Italian. I have made it very easy for myself to prepare this wonderful dish using ready-made beans with vegetables in Italian. This dish will not spoil your festive table and it can be served hot, significantly reducing the time standing at the stove.
Meat pudding will be a great dish for lunch, dinner or even for a festive table. It can be served as an independent dish or with a side dish. Instead of a side dish, I have “eggplant saute in Hungarian”. Instead of pork, you can use other meat, such as beef or chicken.
Turkish samsa “Birds of Happiness” is the thinnest, very delicate dough and a lot of filling. This samsa is small in size, so it can be served as a snack on a festive table.
It would seem that not so long ago the multi-day holidays ended, during which many different salads were prepared, light and hearty, puff and portioned! This salad turns out to be simple and delicious.
I’m here with another salad, as you know, there are not so many salads. I cooked this salad during the New Year holidays, I liked the taste. A pleasant combination of spicy stewed vegetables with salted fish and shrimp.
