Making broth
Making a good broth is not difficult. Every housewife should know how to do it. But there are certain pitfalls. The first is skimming the foam. If the foam from the broth has sunk to the bottom, you can raise it simply by adding a glass of water. Sometimes it may happen that the broth’s flavor is not as rich as we would like or could have. Here is a simple tip: do not add spices to chicken broth, only carrot and onion. During cooking add a bay leaf to the soup and then remove it.
Cooking chops
Chops are great when well prepared. Unfortunately they can sometimes be tough and dry. If you want to fry chops, about an hour before cooking brush them with a mixture of vinegar and oil. This will help them retain their tenderness. If you want to prepare stuffed chops, add a small amount of fried onion and raw potatoes to the filling. The dish will be tastier. Fry or bake the chops first at a high temperature, then lower it. This creates a crispy crust that seals the juices inside the meat.
Preparing potatoes
If you are preparing potatoes, read these tips:
- Mix a little milk into grated potatoes. They won’t turn blue then.
- When cooking old potatoes, add 2 cloves of garlic, a bay leaf and 1 teaspoon of vinegar.
- Mashed potatoes must be made by hand, because in a blender the texture loosens quickly.
Dough preparation
If you are preparing yeast dough, grate one boiled potato into it. The dough will then be soft and airy. To make the dough rise faster, you can add a few tubular pasta pieces to it. If you add a tablespoon of cognac to the dough, products made from fresh dough will be crumbly and airy.
