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.
Another dish of Turkish home cooking. Mostly served with cutlets – as a side dish, as a salad. I really liked the salad, it’s so beautiful, and the presence of beans makes it as useful as possible.
I want to offer you a very simple and delicious salad. Delicate asparagus beans, onions, juicy tomatoes – this salad will be a great side dish or addition to any lunch or dinner.
A very tender and earthy salad, which is prepared from a simple set of products. And when it is tasted, the set of ingredients can be called far from everything, hence the name!
This salad was recently tasted in a Ukrainian restaurant, I really liked it, and I reproduced it today at home with my own small changes. The salad is very tasty, I strongly recommend you to try it!
Quick to prepare, with a minimum of ingredients, very nutritious and healthy! I often cook this salad, it is good both warm and cold, and lean, and with the addition of eggs or boiled meat! Can be used as a side dish!
A good combination: broccoli, fried mushrooms and processed cheese. We recommend that you prepare. Delicious, beautiful and not troublesome. A great option for a festive table.
These pies are just a lifesaver! And at a feast, and in the world, and for lunch, and for dinner, and for a snack, and for evening tea. Guests will definitely ask for the recipe.
This is my favorite holiday salad. I tried it ten years ago and fell in love almost immediately. Since then, I’ve been trying to cook as often as possible. It is very good to serve it on a festive table – it has few calories, and it can be safely consumed throughout the evening without exposing yourself to the pangs of conscience. Constant use and enjoyment of taste. If you have your own broccoli, then you can not blanch it with boiling water, but put it in a raw salad.
