On the difficulties of the selection of original блюда



 

Each instruction to the pressure cooker/slow cooker and vast culinary forums contain thousands of recipes. Moreover, their number is growing and is complemented by the delights that are invented almost daily home and professional cooks. And that's fine. What is the difficulty? And that becomes capricious guest:

— And we here just yesterday that we ate at the Ivanovs!

— But Petrov adds white pepper...

And Shiryaeva cooked much tastier!

Shiryaeva can actually cook better. But to us, it is a unique guest, even a celebrity, though a beloved grandfather who is no worse as a virtuoso violinist is able to appreciate the culinary flair of the mistress or master! What should I do?

 

In music, literature and painting are an inexhaustible source of authentic and delicious — history and tradition. In this case the history and traditions of national cuisine. Oh, my dear Russian patriot, did you happen to EDATE is most popular in the XIX century the dish as "Potatoes under the velvet"? Ate? That is not something that is not eaten, but never heard? That is something! But we Shiryaeva reckon it among your favorite dishes!

   

Potatoes under the velvet



Boil peeled potatoes (or boil in their skins and peel afterwards).

Carefully cut it into slices and gently lay in the pan, add butter, finely sliced parsley, shallot bulbs (easy to find at the Danilovsky market in Moscow or at the forge in St. Petersburg). Sprinkle with pepper, salt and add a teaspoon of vinegar. But this is the last stage! First prepare the "velvet"!

We need white sauce. Melt in a saucepan the butter and add the flour (as needed to form a homogeneous mass), stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to simmer, but in any case, don't let her change the color: slightly turned, and she blushes, we don't need them. Stir all the time! When thick, but in moderation, the sauce — put in a hot water bath to keep it hot.

Then we need to cook the jelly. The process resembles making jelly or jelly — like you want — but only similar! 4 veal leg, shank, or leg of Turkey, 2 carrots, 2 onions peeled and stuck in the middle of the cloves and veal kidney drench white wine (1 Cup) and pour into the pan with strong beef broth to cover everything. Cook in the pan for 30 minutes, regularly removing the foam. When the jelly has thickened, heat it for 2 hours on low heat. Knuckle and kidneys it is necessary to cut directly in the pan with a knife or stick in properly many times with a fork so the juice became part of the jelly. And it must be done as soon as the broth starts to get dark. Remove the pan from the heat for about 20 minutes and add 4 ladle of good beef broth. Add related thread herbs: parsley, thyme, and Basil. Slowly bring all to boil again, remove the herbs and strain through cheesecloth received jelly. Fines for utter transparency of the jelly can be removed, whisking 4 egg whites and adding jelly. And again to boil, stirring constantly. Once the mixture boils, strain it again.

And now mix the jelly with white sauce in a convenient bowl with a mixer on the fire and pour prepared as described in the beginning, potatoes.

 

It is a traditional and highly aristocratic dish will impress and Ivanov and Petrov, and — who knows? — maybe Shiraeva?!

 

Lithuanian цеппелины



In Lithuania, the Zeppelin serves in different ways. We offer you a way that we think tastes better. Will find another recipe and prepare in their own way — honor and praise to you, especially if you come out better.

 

Fortunately, modern food processors significantly accelerate many processes. So:

Peel potatoes. Take 2 kg of potatoes and grate as for hash Browns (Oh, we will tell you about them). But only 1kg: half leave untouched! Some experts prefer nearly potatoes boil "in uniform". Also an interesting option. Take your pick.

After that, the boiled potatoes also grate (or push pestle) and mix with grated and with the allocated juice.

Long and carefully knead the dough. So it won't be too liquid, allow to settle juice from grated potatoes, drain the water, leaving the settled starch, and add to the batter only.

Pound fatty minced pork scrolled through a meat grinder with onions and garlic, add salt and pepper.

A small saucer cut out circles of rolled dough, filled them with mince and begin to carefully sculpt and mold. You should get a figure, resembling a Zeppelin, hence the name.

In light of boiling broth or salted water with the Bay leaf cook the zeppelins. But that's not all!

Fry bacon with onion until receipt of greaves. Prepare mushroom sauce (dry porcini mushrooms, soaked from the evening, finely chop and parched in the water in the pan). And with piping hot, covered with mushroom sauce, sour cream and bacon cracklings...

 

And only onion-bacon-ground beef-salt-pepper-potatoes and a little bit of dried mushrooms! Your spouse won't even have time to bother guests with a story about collecting model sailing ship in a bottle.
