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.
Such a hearty salad can serve as a main course in a fast or serve as an excellent snack. A delicious combination of products perfectly complements the bright dressing.
The Germans have a large number of variations of potato salad. Today I want to offer a salad with apples, corn, sausage and pickles. This recipe was shared with my mother-in-law by her German colleague. My mother-in-law, in turn, treated me. I have not found such a recipe on the website, but I am willing to share this.
If you really want something sour or spicy, then vegetables in express marinades come to our aid here. And lemon and ginger also carry a lot of benefits. There are similar salads on the website, but the marinade in them is completely different.
Delicious and healthy, simple and affordable vegetable salad of vegetables with beans. Crispy, slightly spicy, satisfying. Salad, side dish or an independent dish. It’s ready in a matter of minutes if you pre-cook the beans and potatoes.
In general, this is not a salad recipe, like the most ordinary salad, but a filling recipe. Thanks to this, the taste becomes bright and saturated. I recommend cooking a double portion at once or more, store up to a week in the refrigerator. The longer you store the filling, the more its taste is revealed. I hope this dressing will help to diversify your dishes during lenten time.
It just amazed me – because the ingredients are familiar and affordable, and the taste is simply amazing! And juicy, and bright, and crunchy! When we were students, we rarely went to a cafe to eat salads – usually the rule was that you need to eat right at home so that you have enough money for everything else. We all liked the salad, so far no holiday goes without it! I would really like you to try it too!
Or rather, from crab sticks. Juicy, tender, with a slight lemon note. Very good with fresh vegetables or mashed potatoes. Try to cook and enjoy your meal.
