Preparation of products for stewed pork with vegetables in sour cream
You can stew absolutely any meat: pork, beef, veal, poultry - in any case it will turn out appetizing, of course, if the meat is stewed correctly. Stewing meat consists of two stages - roasting and stewing. Before starting to cook it, the whole piece of meat is cut into slices of the required thickness. But if the pulp of an adult animal is used, then the meat should first be beaten off with a kitchen hammer. This will soften the muscle fibers, which will significantly shorten the cooking time.
To make the pieces of meat attractive and retain the juice, they are fried exclusively over high heat. Then the meat "seals" the fibers and a crispy crust forms on it. After that, the meat can be mixed with chopped vegetables and stewed.
During stewing, it is important not to overexpose the meat in a saucepan, otherwise it will boil down. Steam is formed under the lid, which is retained in the container, which softens the meat, penetrating into its tissue. Therefore, the meat should be monitored, and when it reaches the desired softness, it should be immediately removed from the stove.
Stew the meat over low heat, stirring occasionally, or shaking the pan. The best utensils for stewing and frying meat are considered to be a cast-iron frying pan or rooster, or any container with thick walls and a bottom.
