Stews in the pot in the oven - secrets and useful tips
• The main thing in a stew is not to shred neither vegetables, nor meat, nor other ingredients included in the composition. Otherwise, when stewing, they will fall apart, and instead of a beautiful stew of pots, you will get a mush.
• Stew, especially with an abundance of different vegetables, is a bright, colorful dish. Greens will make it even more attractive and appetizing. And here you should not be limited to a standard set of green onions, dill, parsley. Use spinach, sorrel and other herbs.
• Sour cream or creamy filling will make a rich and juicier dish. For the diet option is better to use plain water or vegetable, chicken broth.
• Almost always, some vegetables are pre-fried and there are reasons for such manipulations. First, so the stew turns aromatic and richer. The second is that, thanks to the initial roasting, the long-cooked vegetables do not remain raw, being prepared simultaneously with instant vegetables.
• Any of the recipes you can alter to your taste preferences. For example, using chicken or turkey instead of beef and pork, instead of greenhouse mushrooms - forest, instead of some vegetables - others. And so with spices and herbs, you can experiment as much as enough imagination.
