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.
Minced meat sauce! And who doesn’t? Everything is simple and delicious! Mentally it will be so! The recipe of the 90s, of course! For very lazy express chefs!
What a chicken! Delicate and golden! It literally melts on my lips! I promise a delicious dinner! Or maybe have lunch! She’s got her secret up her sleeve! Diversity is above all.
From the series “Healthy eating”. I often cook chicken cutlets and add zucchini or zucchini pate to minced meat. Today I added a fresh cucumber. Now come the little pickles, so juicy and crispy! Cutlets are baked in the oven on both sides. Delicious, fragrant and juicy cutlets turned out for dinner.
Cutlets this recipe came out very tender, juicy, mouth-watering and insanely delicious. A pleasant aroma is the whole house. I always cook more, because they are impossible to eat. Recommend.
I do not know what to call this dish, I just experimented and it turned out very tasty. Chicken in cheese sauce turns out tender, melts in the mouth. You can serve it as an independent dish or prepare a side dish, we ate without a side dish, just with a vegetable salad, it turned out to be satisfying. Quick and delicious dinner)
Dear cooks, today I cooked borscht and, as always, stewed beets and carrots with onions for dressing. But since it turned out to be too much, I decided to use this filling as a filling for pies. As always, the fantasy went even further, and the result was delicious bagels with beetroot-carrot-poppy filling, flavored with liqueur, or rather tincture of blackberries. Don’t pass it by!
What a delicious vegetable casserole with chicken turns out. I love this recipe because it is cooked in the oven. The dish turns out to be very satisfying, appetizing and healthy.
I suggest you cook a hearty and delicious soup of red fish and sorrel. As you know, sorrel contains many essential vitamins, minerals and other substances. Red fish also contains vitamins that boost immunity and healthy fatty acids. The soup turns out to be healthy, rich in taste.
