Main dishes- this is the food for every day, which, in our understanding, at lunch follows soup, borscht or another first course, or the one that we usually eat for dinner. As a rule, this is some combination of a side dish with a meat or fish dish. However, a dish without a side dish, cooked on the basis of seafood or fish, meat or offal, mushrooms or vegetables, cereals or pasta. The variety of second courses is simply limitless, moreover, even the same dish has hundreds of variations of the cooking recipe. Each hostess brings something of her own to it.

What are the second courses? It is not so easy to answer this question. It is possible to divide main dishes into types according to hundreds of classification features. But in general, it is customary to divide main dishes into meat, mushroom, fish, vegetable, cereal, pasta. In addition, they can be divided into those that are prepared in a hurry and those that require enormous time costs for cooking. And the main dishes prepared at home can be divided into those that can and cannot be cooked. A weighty classification feature for such food is belonging to one or another cuisine of the world. Each country has its own peculiarities of cooking second courses. They can relate to a set of traditionally used products, methods heat treatment, cooking occasion (for every day or on the occasion of a holiday), etc. We can continue this topic endlessly, so we will no longer focus on it. All the subtleties and nuances of preparing a particular main dish can be found in the step-by-step photo recipes of this section of the site. However, we propose to study the main recommendations regarding working with meat and fish further.

Simple secrets of delicious cooking

Delicious cooking of the second dish is quite simple, even if it seems to you that it is not. You just need to know some pretty simple secrets, which will help in working with a particular product. Even novice housewives can easily cook at home the most difficult, it would seem, dish. It is important to follow all the instructions in the recipe, as well as apply the tricks in working with meat and fish, which we will give below.

Meat

The preparation of second courses based on meat begins with the choice of this product. The fresher it is, the tastier and safer the dish will turn out. This is a very important point, because bad meat will not only affect taste characteristics dishes, but also can cause irreparable harm health. So, the meat should not be smelly - this is one of the sure signs of its freshness. In addition, chilled fresh meat is quickly restored after pressing it with your finger. The meat of various animals and birds is colored in different colors, but, nevertheless, whatever the color scheme, it should not be too dark. The darkening of the meat is a sign that it has lain down. It is unlikely that the second dish from such a product will turn out delicious.

If you have to use frozen meat to prepare the second dish, then it is important to defrost it correctly. It is best to carry out this process in advance, slowly. It is believed that the best way to defrost is to put the meat in the refrigerator and wait until it is completely thawed. In addition, a good way to defrost is to place the meat in a container of ice water. So the process will go faster, besides, the product will retain all its organoleptic properties, and besides, it will remain just as useful.

When choosing between chilled and frozen meat for preparing a second course, it is better to choose the first option. Frozen water crystals inside the meat break its fibers, which makes it loose and also loses its juiciness.

In order for the second dish, prepared on the basis of meat, to turn out juicy, meat should not be salted raw, salt should be only after it is taken with a crust. More tender than the second the dish will turn out if the meat is pre-marinated. Marinating should not be neglected in the case of beef. By the way, it is better to cut this meat not along the fibers, but across. And when stewing, beef should only be added hot water, since the change in temperature due to cold water make it rubbery. Bake the meat should be, after wrapping it with foil, so it will bake evenly. What about chicken meat and the meat of other poultry, then during the preparation of second courses from it, to increase the juiciness of especially dry parts, it is advised to put pieces of butter between the meat and the skin. In addition, do not forget about marinades, spices and sauces. They will give special taste and aroma.

Fish

Fish main courses taste best if you use fresh rather than frozen fish for their preparation. If you still have to use a frozen product, then you need to act in accordance with certain rules. Place the frozen fish on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and leave it there overnight. With this method, the fish will not “spread”. But defrosting fish in water is not recommended categorically.

A delicious second dish of fish will turn out only if it is properly cut. You need to gut the fish so that it does not burst gallbladder. Otherwise, you risk getting something very bitter and unpleasant in taste. You should clean the skin from the fish while it is still frozen or when you have cooked it. By the way, the latter option is preferable, since the skin will help keep the juice in the fish. It is best to remove the fins with kitchen scissors, but it is necessary to clean the scales either with a special knife or with a grater.

The stewed second dish of fish will turn out more tender, and will not have a pungent smell if you use not water, but milk for stewing. As for frying, this process should not be too long. The second fish dish will turn out really tasty only if it is not overexposed. But as for baking, the fish should be removed from the oven a couple of minutes before being ready. It should infuse and reach under the foil or under the lid. When baking such a second dish in foil, it should be borne in mind that salt should be put into it several times more than usual.

A special aroma and taste when baking fish can only be achieved by adding spices, herbs, lemon slices.

If the fish should be boiled to prepare the second dish, remember that this must be done by cutting it into portioned pieces, and placed in a small container with a minimum allowable water level. This way the fish won't fall apart. But in order to cook it entirely, the bottom of the pan must first be covered with gauze, the ends of which on both sides should be hooked on the handles. finished product should be pulled out precisely with the help of a “design” prepared in advance.

Well, and most importantly - the second fish dish should be eaten immediately after cooking. This is probably the recommendation of absolutely every culinary recipe in which fish is present. An exception to the rule is, perhaps, jellied fish.
