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”.

Beetroot fish with pea puree and onion jam. A holiday is always a game of colors! Surprise your guests or loved ones on a special day with such a bright dish! All components not only look beautiful, but also perfectly match to taste! I decided to show three recipes (techniques) in one dish, I hope you like it)
Tender instant cutlets will appeal to both adults and children. They are good on their own with any side dish, but if you like peas, then a gentle puree in a duet with cutlets will not leave you indifferent.
Quite simple to prepare and at the same time having a wide color and taste palette – this dish can be classified as dishes for “special occasions” and festive events. The combination of pea puree, cream and mint was a pleasant discovery for me!
A delicious dish for a lean menu. Peas give satiety, and baked carrots and onions with seitan give the illusion of the presence of meat. Seitan (wheat protein, vegetarian “meat”) in fried form, it is very similar to meat casseroles / pork rinds. Both tasty and healthy. Yes, peas contain a lot of vitamins, trace elements and minerals. It is well absorbed, normalizes metabolism, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, etc. And peas are healthier than potatoes.
With the onset of cold weather, thick and rich soups, delicious pies, and hearty porridges return to our diet. One of these porridges, pea, I especially liked. In our family, peas are invariably filled with fried onions and carrots – simple, but delicious! And now there was a recipe that intrigued me, but all summer I kept it in bookmarks. And now, having thought about it, they took it out of the bins and satisfied not only their curiosity, but also their taste! I really like the dish, so I boldly recommend it to you) Lovers of peas, do not pass by!
My variation on the eternal theme “Overseas eggplant caviar”. There was a time when I was just learning to cook and I came up with this recipe out of ignorance that eggplants should be baked properly, and then crushed with a blender or meat grinder… But surprisingly, the result exceeded all expectations, and since then this variation of caviar is always on my table!
