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 have studied a little the technology of cooking various street food dishes (street food). It used to be thought that street food was food for the poor. Now, living on the run, people want to eat not only fast, tasty and cheap, but also healthy. A proper and very tasty cutlet is the law of success, potato pancakes are mega simple and mega delicious. The cutlet should be JUST MEAT!!! I will reveal at least 2 simple secrets of making perfect burgers with the right filling. In addition, cutlets can be prepared for the future when frozen. The ingredients are minimal, it turns out a “bomb”, perfect taste, even without sauce at all. welcome
Even if you are completely sure that you know the recipe for a classic burger, and it’s not news to you that it’s not worth spending an hour or two on this “fast food”… look at the recipe. Perhaps some nuances will be useful to you.
Lean burger with lentil cutlet and guacamole. During the fast, it is especially important to add more vegetable protein to your diet. One of the leaders in its content is lentils. This is a great product, you can cook a lot of different dishes from it. For example, today I want to offer you to try lentil cutlets. And to make the dish more satisfying and interesting, I suggest using these cutlets in an unusual lean burger. As a side dish for lentils, I chose one of my favorite sauces – guacamole. This refreshes the dish and makes it juicy. I added potatoes to the lentil cutlets for better stickiness and curry to give the flavor and taste of the East. All this combined led to a very tasty lean burger!
Think about it, everyone at least once, but did they cook something from raw grated potatoes – pancakes, for example? I offer you an almost similar preparation of cutlets with meat, the piquancy of which is given by dressing with pickled cucumbers! Very tasty, with a crispy crust and sour cream!
