I propose a step-by-step recipe with a photo of meat, which is cooked in its own juice, due to which it turns out to be tender, aromatic and with a natural taste. Video recipe.
The easiest and most common way to cook meat is to simmer it in your own juice. Letting go is one of the main ways to heat food. Moreover, there is no clear boundary between steaming and boiling in a small amount of liquid. As an exception, sometimes a little broth or water is added. This way the meat can be cooked with the addition of liquid or in the secreted liquid. Thanks to this type of heat treatment, the meat is juicy, tender and retains its natural taste and aroma. Therefore, it is suitable for any side dishes and dishes. It can be used to prepare any kind of salads and appetizers. It should be noted that this is the most dietary and low-calorie option for preparing meat dishes. Such food can be used for dietary nutrition, gastrointestinal diseases, included in the menu of pregnant women, children and the elderly.
If desired, the meat can be supplemented with vegetables, which will also be cooked in their own juice. Then the vegetables will be soaked in meat juice and will simply melt in your mouth. In this case, a delicious dish will be obtained from a minimum of ingredients, which can be an independent dish or served with a side dish of your choice. Onions, carrots and potatoes are commonly used as vegetables. Although here you can not be afraid to experiment and add other seasonal vegetables: bell peppers, eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes, etc. The type of meat for the recipe is chosen by the chef to his taste. This can be pork, beef, chicken, turkey, etc.
