Transcarpathian hostesses prepare pigeons from raw rice and are sure that it turns out to be many times more delicious.

Such a familiar dish to everyone as meat-and-riceYou can cook in different ways. The classic recipe suggests that rice and cabbage should be already semi-prepared, that is, with pre-heat treatment. But this can not always be done, and there are reasons for it.



As many people know, there are also lazy pigeons with crushed cabbage. And at all blueberries without cabbage, in which grape leaf is used. The recipe for such pigeons came to us from Turkey. In our opinion, such a “wrap” does not have a bright taste, but it can also be used to refresh the taste of the usual dish.

In fact, in Jewish recipes, blueberries were known several thousand years ago. Naturally, the dish was different from the modern version, to which we are all used. Each country, where this recipe fell, also contributed, somehow supplementing it.



Of the interesting features of cooking, we would like to highlight the following techniques.

1. Add a small piece of butter to the surface of each pigeon. This will enrich their taste and make them more delicate.
2. If the container in which pigeons are prepared does not have sufficiently thick walls, then it is better to lay a certain vegetable pillow from cabbage or grape leaf, onions, greens or even tomatoes on its bottom.
3. An alternative to a pot on a small fire can be an oven. This will give the dish an unusual taste.
4. Instead of water, you can pour doves with tomato juice or even “red” diluted with water.

And more. Rice is not necessary to cook before cooking the pigeons themselves. Moreover, since it will release gluten during cooking, such a maneuver will perfectly improve the taste of the resulting pigeons. They will be appetizing, but will not crumble from any wrong movement. The main thing is not to take too much into your head that gluten is the same terrible thing. glutenwhich is so fashionable not to use now.

Preparation

1. Since we have a recipe with raw rice, we do not cook it on fire, but simply rinse and mix with minced rice. Rice is best to take round-grained, and use the minced one that you personally like the most. There is no need to worry about its fat content. We'll cook in the oven, so your figure won't suffer.
   
   
   
2. Cook the cabbage in hot water until ready. We need big sheets, because we're going to make snail shells out of blueberries. Add to the ground greens and finely chopped onions. About half of what is available. Sprinkle and pepper. Place the filling on the sheet and wrap it in a tube. Now wrap some kind of roll out of it. Send future pigeons to a convenient container.
   
   
   
3. Make a roast: grind carrots, sweet peppers, garlic and onion residues. Roast the vegetables over medium heat and keep stewing under the lid. Ambassadory. Pour the finished tasty food on top of the blueberries to make a delicious hat. Add another 100ml of boiled water. Cover the container with foil. It's just a matter of small.
   
   
   
4. Cook the pigeons in an oven heated to 190 degrees. Cooking time is 35-40 minutes. In fact, we need to prepare the rice, because it will take the most time. Take the pigeons out of the oven and sprinkle the fresh greens. You can also add sour cream. In general, be guided by your taste. Bon appetit.
   
   
   

Some housewives hate to mess with a huge head of cabbage. It needs to be cooked for a long time, the room becomes moist with steam, and in general it takes a lot of time. Therefore, they soften the vegetable in a different way. They leave it in the freezer overnight. Because of this, it will be easy to use when it “goes away” in the heat.



Here's a life hack you might not know about. It remains only to cut the hard part on the basis of cabbage sheets and cut each leaf in two. This will make it even more convenient to wrap the roulettes in the desired shape. And for a beautiful presentation, it will serve a good service. Everyone likes small portions and is much more comfortable to eat.
