Hot dishes are the basis of every family’s diet. There are hundreds and thousands of such home cooking options in every kitchen in the world. Meat, vegetable, cereal and mixed, with herbs and sauces, from a steamer, oven, slow cooker, and just from the stove.
The main hot dishes are cooked with milk, water and broths. For vegetarians, it is a source of fiber, carbohydrates and protein, for meat eaters – a carbohydrate side dish. Sauces, gravies, cutlets and fried meat (or baked), stews are served with them. To warm up the porridge, present it in a new way, bake it in the oven under cheese, interspersed with vegetable or meat layers (or both, it tastes better this way).
Meat is a mandatory “moment” of the men’s menu. It is fried in oil and fat, baked in an oven, stewed in pots or a slow cooker (often with potatoes and other nightshade or roots). The second hot dishes of chicken, beef, pork, lamb and game are delicious at home with fresh salads, and mashed potatoes, pasta and potatoes are suitable for them from warm (although doctors say that these products are poorly absorbed by the body in a pair).
Zucchini, eggplant, pumpkin, potatoes, tomatoes, a variety of cabbage, onions, carrots and beets are the base of excellent recipes “for after soup”.

Fajitas is one of the most popular and traditional Mexican dishes. Fajitas are not just fried meat in a tortilla (corn tortilla), but also necessarily a traditional set of side dishes or sauces: black bean paste, rice with Mexican spices, Pico de Gallo sauce and sour cream. Meat, beans and rice are cooked with traditional Mexican spices: cumin, oregano and, of course, seasoned with lime juice. You can’t do without onions and hot peppers in this kitchen either. All these ingredients harmoniously complement each other and create a unique flavor of Mexican cuisine. Traditionally, rather cheap and not very soft pieces of beef are used for fajitas: peritoneum, sides and tenderloin (barrel, round, skirt, London broil, etc.). Therefore, it is very important for fajitas to cut the meat into very thin strips – across the fibers. In order for the meat to fry and remain juicy, cook them over very high heat. Of course, no one will forbid you to cook fajitas from more expensive steak chops: thick edge, thin edge, shackles, cereals and rump, and, of course, fillets. Although, in this case, it will not be quite a traditional fajita.
I cook this dish quite often. In my opinion, the main thing in it is the sauce. It is a combination of a delicate creamy taste with the sourness of tomatoes, the piquancy of olives and is complemented by the texture and taste of vegetables. All this goes very well with fish. To do this, fish stew can be cooked in different ways. You can pan in flour and fry, or you can cook in the form of a sou. As a result, the fish turns out to be very tender, and fried a little fatter, but with an additional delicious taste. The combination of red and white fish gives an interesting shade to the dish. Serve with ratatouille, as in this recipe, or with crumbly rice.
I offer a simple and quick recipe for potato casserole. Despite the fact that the dish is prepared without meat, it turns out to be very satisfying and delicious.

Sausages for children and not only. As for me, it seems like a miracle and bread baked with your own hands, and homemade cheese, and sausages consisting only of meat and cream. But only up to one, two, three.
Perhaps this dish can be called a casserole, I do not know. It doesn’t have a name, it’s my version of the dish. I usually cook it with white cabbage, but this time it was not found, so broccoli went to the dish.
A dish from the “2 in 1” category, both meat and side dish are cooked together. Very tasty, homemade dish. Thanks to the parsley pesto sauce, the aroma when baking is simply magical!
