Dishes and side dishes from boiled vegetables lecture. Educational practice: “Cooking dishes and side dishes from boiled vegetables” with a presentation of educational and methodological material on the topic. Dishes and side dishes from fried vegetables

Peeled potatoes are immersed in boiling salted water and cooked under a closed lid until almost done. Then the water is drained and the potatoes are dried on board the stove for 1-2 minutes. The potatoes are placed in a heap on a shallow plate or in a bracket, poured with melted butter and sprinkled with chopped dill or parsley. You can serve potatoes with sour cream.

Boiled potatoes are served as a side dish for boiled and poached fish, boiled meat and other dishes. To boil potatoes for garnish, select small, uniformly sized tubers. It is advisable to serve fish with potatoes, turned in a barrel.

Potatoes can be cooked in milk sauce. To do this, it is cut into large cubes and boiled until half cooked in salted water, and then poured with a separately prepared milk sauce, in which it is brought to readiness. The potatoes are served on a plate or in a crumble, sprinkled with chopped herbs. Potatoes in milk are served as a side dish for entrecote.

To prepare mashed potatoes, hot boiled potatoes are rubbed in a mashing machine, transferred to a cauldron with melted fat, a small amount of potato broth is poured in, stirred, and then, gradually adding hot milk, beat it with a wooden paddle until it becomes a homogeneous fluffy mass. If the potatoes are mashed when they have cooled, the puree turns out sticky and viscous.

Mashed potatoes can be served as a dish, with pickled or fresh cucumber or tomato. It is served as a side dish with boiled pork, veal, tongue, ham, sausages, sausages, fried liver and minced meat products. You can serve the puree as a side dish for boiled and fried fish and poultry.

Boiled cabbage

White cabbage without stalks is placed in boiling salted water, cooked until tender, discarded, allowed to drain and portioned. It is served as a separate dish or used as a side dish for boiled meat. For garnish, boiled cabbage is separated into leaves, formed into balls using a towel, placed in broth and heated to a boil. When leaving, add broth or butter.

Boil cauliflower and Brussels sprouts in separate stalks and place on a sieve. Boiled cabbage is served on a plate or in a crumble, sprinkled with breadcrumbs, hollandaise sauce or melted butter and garnished with parsley or dill. The sauce can be served separately in a gravy boat. In addition, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are served as a side dish for poultry and veal dishes.

Freshly frozen green peas are boiled, canned ones are heated in their own juice. The peas are seasoned with milk sauce (thick or medium thick) or melted butter, placed in a heap on a plate or in a crumble and a piece of butter is placed on top. Peas in milk sauce can be served with croutons. To prepare them, stale white bread is cut into pieces of various shapes (triangles, diamonds, etc.), dipped in sweet lezone and fried in oil. Croutons are placed around the peas. Green beans and bean pods are boiled in the same way as green peas, cut into diamonds and served with butter.

Green peas in butter or milk sauce are served as a side dish for ham, tongue, fried brains, fish stew and other dishes, and are also included in a complex side dish for meat and poultry dishes. Green peas can be served in tartlets (baskets made of puff pastry, butter or pancake dough).

To prepare hot dishes and side dishes, vegetables are boiled in water or steamed. Potatoes and carrots are boiled peeled, beets - in their skins, corn - on the cob without removing the leaves, bean pods - chopped, peas - whole, dried vegetables are pre-soaked.

When cooking, vegetables are placed in boiling water or filled with water (depending on the type of vegetables), salt is added (10 g of salt per 1 liter of water) and cooked with the lid closed. The water should cover the vegetables by 1–2 cm, since when cooking in large amounts of water, large losses of soluble nutrients occur. Beets, carrots and green peas are cooked without salt so that the taste does not deteriorate and the cooking process does not slow down. Green beans, peas, spinach leaves, asparagus and artichokes are boiled in a large amount of rapidly boiling water (3-4 liters per 1 kg of vegetables) and with the lid open to preserve color. Quick-frozen vegetables are placed in boiling water without defrosting. Canned vegetables are heated together with the broth, and then the broth is drained and used to prepare soups and sauces.

It is better to steam potatoes and carrots: this preserves the nutritional value and taste of the product. For steaming, special steam cooking cabinets or ordinary boilers with a metal grate or wire basket are used.

COOKING VEGETABLES

Vegetables are placed in hot water and brought to a boil over high heat, then simmered over low heat.
Vegetables are usually boiled covered, except cabbage and other leafy vegetables, which are brought to a boil without a lid to remove the unpleasant smell. Do not stir the vegetables during cooking. Readiness is checked using a knitting needle or fork. Cooking is finished when the vegetables inside are still a little strong.

Eggplant cook for 10-15 minutes.
Swede 20-35 min.
Zucchini will be ready in 8-12 minutes.

Tomatoes 15-25 min.
Rhubarb 5-10 min.
Radish 10-15 min.
Turnip 20-30 min.
Beetroot Depending on the size, cook from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. And don’t forget to add vinegar or cucumber brine, otherwise all the color will go into the water.
Celery 20-30 min.
Asparagus fresh – up to 15 minutes.
Pumpkin cook for half an hour.
Green bean- fresh beans, washed and sorted, boil in salted water for 5-7 minutes from boiling - if you want them to remain crispy, and 3-4 minutes longer if you want the beans soft. Frozen beans Without defrosting, place in boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes. In both cases, it is recommended to cut off the sharp ends of the pods.
Spinach fresh cook for 3-5 minutes.
Sorrel ready as soon as it changes its green color to pale in boiling water. It literally takes 1-2 minutes. And you shouldn’t add a lot of spices - they will “clog” the taste and aroma of sorrel.

Boiled potatoes. Peeled potato tubers of the same small size (large potatoes are cut into pieces) are placed in a dish in a layer of no more than 50 cm so that their shape is preserved during cooking, pour hot water so that it covers the potatoes by 1–1.5 cm, add salt, close the dish cover, bring to a boil and cook at low simmer until tender. Then the broth is drained and the potatoes are dried, for this Cover the dishes with a lid and place them on a less hot section of the stove for 2–3 minutes.

Some varieties of potatoes are overcooked and soaked in water, as a result of which the taste of the finished dish deteriorates. Therefore, when boiling such potatoes, the water is drained 15 minutes after boiling, the potatoes are covered with a lid and brought to readiness without water - with the steam generated in the boiler. Potatoes that have been peeled into barrels are cooked in the same way.

Potatoes are cooked in small portions, since long-term storage deteriorates their taste, reduces nutritional value, and changes color. Boiled potatoes are used as an independent dish and side dish.

When on vacation, boiled potatoes are placed in a lamb, plate or portioned frying pan, poured with butter, sour cream or served separately, sprinkled with chopped herbs. You can serve potatoes with sauces: red with onions, gherkins, tomato, sour cream, sour cream with onions, mushroom.

Mashed potatoes. To prepare mashed potatoes, it is better to use potato varieties with a high starch content. Peeled potatoes, uniform in size, are boiled until tender, the broth is drained, the potatoes are dried and rubbed while hot using a rubbing machine. In hot potatoes at 80° C cells containing starch paste are elastic and remain intact when rubbed. In cooled potatoes, the cells become brittle, rupture when rubbed, a paste is released from them, so the mashed potatoes turn out sticky, viscous, which worsens its taste and appearance. Add melted butter or margarine to the mashed potatoes, heat, stirring continuously, pour in hot boiled milk and beat until fluffy.

When leaving, mashed potatoes are placed on a plate, a pattern is applied to the surface with a spoon, poured with butter, and sprinkled with chopped herbs. The puree can be served with sauteed onions or boiled chopped eggs mixed with melted butter. Most often, mashed potatoes are used as a side dish for meat and fish dishes.

Product norm for 1 kg of mashed potatoes: peeled potatoes 855, butter 35, milk 150.

Potatoes in milk. Potatoes do not boil well in milk, so they are first boiled in water. Raw peeled potatoes are cut into medium-sized cubes, pour hot water, cook for 10 minutes, drain the water, pour hot boiled milk over the potatoes, add salt and cook until tender. You can add cold sautéing (butter mixed with flour) into the potatoes and, stirring gently, bring to a boil.

Used as an independent dish and as a side dish.

When leaving, place in a lamb or portioned frying pan, pour over butter, sprinkle with chopped herbs.

Carrot or beet puree. Carrots are boiled whole or cut into pieces and simmered in a small amount of water with the addition of butter or margarine and salt, beets are boiled and peeled. Then the carrots or beets are pureed. The pureed mass is combined with medium-thick milk sauce or sour cream and heated. Used as an independent dish and as a side dish.

When leaving, put it in a plate or lamb, sprinkle with butter or sour cream.

Carrots 170 or beets 159, table margarine 5, milk sauce 75, butter 5 or sour cream 30. Yield 210/230

Boiled cabbage with butter or sauce. Early white cabbage is peeled, washed, the head is cut into pieces (slices) and the stalk is cut out. Processed cauliflower is used in whole inflorescences of the same size. Brussels sprouts are pre-cut from the stem. Place the prepared cabbage in boiling salted water, quickly bring to a boil and cook at low simmer until tender with the lid open so that the color does not change. Before release, cabbage is stored in hot broth for no more than 30 minutes, since long-term storage causes the color to change and its taste to deteriorate. Remove the finished cabbage with a slotted spoon and allow the water to drain.

When leaving, the cabbage is placed in a lamb or portioned frying pan, poured with butter or cracker, milk or sour cream sauce. The sauce can be served separately in a gravy boat. White cabbage can be cut into pieces and seasoned with butter or sauce. If cauliflower is used as a side dish, then before cooking it is divided into small inflorescences.

Boiled green peas. To prepare this dish, fresh, dried, frozen and canned green peas are used. Fresh green peas are removed from the pods, placed in boiling salted water and cooked in vigorously boiling water until tender. Quick-frozen green peas, without defrosting, Place in boiling salted water, quickly bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes. Dried green peas are soaked in cold water for 3–5 hours, washed, drained, again filled with cold water and boiled for 1–1.5 hours. Canned green peas are heated in their own broth.

Boiled green peas are placed in a sieve or colander, the broth is allowed to drain, placed in a bowl, seasoned with butter or liquid milk sauce, salt is added and heated. Used as an independent dish and as a side dish for meat, poultry and fish dishes.

When leaving, green peas are placed in a heap in a portioned frying pan or lamb, with a piece of butter on top or served separately on a socket. You can sprinkle with boiled chopped eggs or add croutons.

For croutons, the crusts of stale wheat bread are cut off, the bread is cut into triangles, diamonds or crescents, dipped in a mixture of eggs, milk and sugar, then fried on both sides in butter or margarine until a crispy crust forms.

Boiled asparagus. Processed asparagus is tied into bunches protruding from the bunches the ends are cut off. Place the asparagus in boiling salted water, quickly bring to a boil and cook at low simmer until tender.

When leaving, the asparagus is untied, placed on a special rack with a napkin, or a portioned dish, or plate, decorated with sprigs of parsley, and cracker sauce is served separately. Processed asparagus can be cut into pieces 2-3 cm long, boiled, then combined with liquid milk sauce, add butter and heat. Used as an independent dish and as a side dish for poultry fillet cutlets.

Dishes and side dishes made from boiled vegetables.

To prepare hot dishes and side dishes, vegetables are steamed or in water.

Potatoes and carrots are boiled peeled, beets are boiled in their skins, corn is cooked on the cob without removing the leaves, bean pods are chopped, pea blades are cooked whole, dried vegetables are pre-soaked.

When cooking, vegetables are placed in boiling water or filled with water (depending on the type of vegetables), salt is added (10 g of salt per 1 liter of water) and cooked with the lid closed. Water should cover vegetables by 1..2 cm, since when cooking in large amounts of water, large losses of soluble nutrients occur. Beets, carrots and green peas are cooked without salt so that the taste does not deteriorate and the cooking process does not slow down. Green beans, peas, spinach leaves, asparagus and artichokes are boiled in a large amount of boiling water (3..4 liters per 1 kg of vegetables) and with the lid open to preserve the color.

Boiled potatoes .

Peeled potato tubers of the same small size (large potatoes are cut into pieces) are placed in a dish in a layer of no more than 50 cm so that the shape is preserved during cooking, pour hot water so that it covers the potatoes by 1..1.5 cm, add salt, cover the dish with a lid, bring to a boil and cook at low simmer until tender.

Then the broth is drained and the potatoes are dried; to do this, cover the dish with a lid and place it on a less hot section of the stove for 2..3 minutes.

Some varieties become overcooked, soaked in water, and the taste of the finished dish deteriorates. When boiling such potatoes, the water is drained 15 minutes after boiling, the potatoes are covered with a lid and brought to readiness without water - with the steam generated in the boiler.

Potatoes turned into a barrel shape are cooked in the same way.

Boiled potatoes are used as an independent dish and as a side dish.

When leaving, boiled potatoes are placed in a lamb, on a plate or in a portioned frying pan, poured with butter, sour cream or served separately, sprinkled with chopped herbs.

Mashed potatoes.

To prepare mashed potatoes, it is better to use potato varieties with a high starch content. Peeled potatoes, uniform in size, are boiled until tender, the broth is drained, the potatoes are dried while hot and wiped using a rubbing machine. In hot potatoes at a temperature of 80C, the cells containing starch paste are elastic and remain intact when rubbed. In cooled potatoes, the cells become brittle, rupture when rubbed, a paste is released from them, so the puree turns out sticky, viscous, which worsens its taste and appearance. Add melted butter or margarine to the mashed potatoes, heat, stirring continuously, pour in hot boiled milk and beat until fluffy.

Boiled cabbage with butter and sauce.

Early white cabbage is peeled, washed, the head is cut into pieces (slices) and the stalk is cut out. Processed cauliflower is used in whole inflorescences of the same size. The prepared cabbage is placed in boiling salted water. quickly bring to a boil and cook at low simmer until tender with the lid open so that the color does not change. Before release, cabbage is stored in hot broth for no more than 30 minutes, because long-term storage changes the color and deteriorates its taste.

When leaving, the cabbage is placed in a lamb or in a portioned frying pan, poured with butter or a sauce with crackers, milk or sour cream. The sauce can be served separately in a gravy boat. White cabbage can be cut into pieces and seasoned with butter or sauce.

Boiled green peas

To prepare this dish, fresh, dried, frozen and canned green peas are used.

Fresh peas are removed from the pods, placed in boiling salted water and cooked in rapidly boiling water until tender. Quick frozen green peas. without defrosting, place in boiling salted water, quickly bring to a boil and cook for 3..5 minutes.

Dried green peas are soaked in cold water for 3..5 hours, washed, drained, again filled with cold water and boiled for 1..1.5 hours.

Canned green peas are heated in their own broth.

boiled green peas are thrown into a sieve or colander, the broth is allowed to drain, put in a bowl, seasoned with butter or liquid milk sauce, salt is added and heated. Used as an independent dish as a side dish for meat, poultry and fish dishes.

When leaving, green peas are placed in a heap on a portioned frying pan or in a lamb, with a piece of butter on top or served separately on a socket. You can sprinkle with chopped boiled eggs or add croutons. For croutons, the crusts of stale wheat bread are cut off, the bread is cut into the shape of triangles, diamonds or crescents, dipped in a mixture of eggs, milk or margarine until a crispy crust forms.

Boiled green peas. To prepare this dish, fresh, dried, frozen and canned green peas are used. Fresh green peas are removed from the pods, placed in boiling salted water and cooked in vigorously boiling water until tender. Quick-frozen green peas, without defrosting, are placed in boiling salted water, quickly brought to a boil and cooked for 3-5 minutes. Dried green peas are soaked in cold water for 3–5 hours, washed, drained, again filled with cold water and boiled for 1–1.5 hours. Canned green peas are heated in their own broth.

Boiled asparagus. The processed asparagus is tied into bunches, the ends protruding from the bunches are cut off. Place the asparagus in boiling salted water, quickly bring to a boil and cook at low simmer until tender.

To prepare dishes and side dishes, vegetables are boiled in water or steamed. To reduce the loss of weight and nutrients when cooking vegetables, and to ensure high quality dishes from them, it is necessary to follow a number of rules.

Vegetables, except beets, carrots and green peas, are placed in boiling salted water (10 g of salt per 1 liter of water).

Take 0.6-0.7 liters of water per 1 kg of vegetables, so that it covers the vegetables by no more than 1.5-2 cm.

After boiling, reduce the heat to avoid boiling over and cook the vegetables until tender (until soft). Cooking times depend on the varietal characteristics and type of vegetables, water hardness and other conditions.

To preserve color, bean pods, peas, spinach leaves, asparagus, arti-shocks are boiled in large quantities (3-4 liters per 1 kg of vegetables) of rapidly boiling water and in an open container. The rest of the vegetables are boiled, covering the container with a lid, to reduce the oxidation of vitamin C.

Potatoes are boiled peeled or unpeeled, depending on further use. In spring, when the taste of potatoes noticeably deteriorates and the toxic substance solanine accumulates in them, it is more advisable to cook potatoes peeled.

Whole carrots and beets are boiled with their skins on to reduce the loss of soluble substances (sugars and minerals).

Quick-frozen vegetables are placed in boiling water without defrosting.

Before cooking, dried vegetables are poured with water and left to swell for 1-3 hours, and then boiled in the same water.

Canned vegetables are heated together with the broth, then the broth is drained and used to prepare soups and sauces.

When cooking vegetables with steam, the loss of soluble substances is significantly reduced. Thus, when potatoes are steam-cooked with whole peeled tubers, they lose 2.5 times less soluble substances than when boiled in water, carrots - 3.5 times, beets - 2 times. Steamed vegetables have a more pronounced taste, beets have a more intense color. For steaming, use special steam cooking cabinets or ordinary boilers with a metal grate.

You can cook any vegetables. Most often they cook potatoes, cabbage (white cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, savoy), green beans, asparagus, and artichokes. Boiled vegetables are used as an independent dish, seasoned with butter or sauce, or as a side dish for fish, meat, and poultry dishes. When serving, they are sprinkled with chopped parsley or dill.

Boiled potatoes. Potatoes are boiled whole tubers (small, usually young potatoes) or cut into pieces (large). Peeled potatoes are boiled in a cauldron in a layer of no more than 50 cm, so that the shape of the tubers is preserved during cooking. After bringing to readiness, the broth is drained, the dish is closed with a lid and the potatoes are dried over low heat for 2-3 minutes. At the same time, starch absorbs the remaining moisture.

Some varieties of potatoes are overcooked and soaked in water, resulting in the taste of the finished dish deteriorating. Therefore, when boiling such potatoes, drain the water 15 minutes after boiling, cover the dish with a lid, and bring the potatoes to readiness with the steam generated in the boiler. In the same way, potatoes are cooked, turned into balls and barrels for decorating banquet dishes.

The quality of boiled potatoes decreases during storage, so they should be cooked in small batches.

When leaving, boiled potatoes are placed on a plate, ram or portioned frying pan, poured with butter or sour cream, or served separately, sprinkled with chopped herbs. You can serve potatoes with fried onions, fried mushrooms, with sauces: red with onions, gherkins, tomato, sour cream, sour cream with onions, mushroom.

Mashed potatoes. To prepare mashed potatoes, it is better to use potato varieties with a high starch content. Cooked and dried potatoes are wiped hot (temperature not lower than 80°C) using a rubbing machine. Add melted butter or margarine to the mashed potatoes, heat them continuously stirring, pour in hot boiled milk or low-fat cream and beat until fluffy.

When leaving, mashed potatoes are placed on a plate, a pattern is applied to the surface with a spoon, poured with butter, and sprinkled with chopped herbs. The puree can be served with sautéed onions or boiled chopped eggs mixed with melted butter. More often, puree is used as a side dish for meat and fish dishes.

Potatoes in milk. Raw peeled potatoes are cut into large cubes, then boiled in a small amount of water until half cooked. The broth is drained, the potatoes are poured with hot milk, salted and boiled until tender. After this, add part (50%) of the butter and bring to a boil. Leave with the remaining butter, you can sprinkle with herbs.

Boiled pumpkin. The pumpkin, peeled and seeded, is cut into slices and boiled in salted water. When leaving, pour melted butter and ground toasted breadcrumbs over it.

Boiled beans (vegetable). Bean pods, stripped of coarse veins, are cut into diamonds, placed in boiling salted water, boiled for 8-10 minutes and discarded in a colander. When leaving, pour melted butter or milk sauce over it.

Boiled vegetable peas. Quick-frozen peas are placed in boiling salted water, quickly brought to a boil and cooked for 3-5 minutes. Fresh pea blades, stripped of the side veins, are cooked in the same way. Canned peas are heated in their own broth. Place the cooked peas in a colander. When leaving, pour melted butter or milk sauce over it.

Boiled corn. Prepared cobs are boiled in salted water until tender. When releasing the cobs, remove the leaves entirely and add butter separately. You can remove the grains from the cob, season them with sauce and bring to a boil. Canned corn is heated together with the broth, after which it is drained, and the grains are seasoned with butter or milk or sour cream sauce.

Boiled asparagus. Place the prepared asparagus in boiling salted water and cook until tender. When leaving, bunches of boiled asparagus are untied, placed on a plate or serving dish, decorated with sprigs of parsley, and breadcrumb sauce is served separately. You can season boiled asparagus with milk sauce, heat it up and, when serving, pour melted butter over it.

Artichokes. Prepared artichokes are tied with threads and boiled in salted water. When the lower part of the base becomes soft, they are taken out and placed with the base up to drain the water. When on vacation, artichokes are decorated with herbs. Hollandaise sauce or breadcrumbs are served separately.

Carrot or beet puree. Carrots are boiled whole or cut into slices and simmered in a small amount of water with the addition of oil. The beets are boiled and peeled. Then the carrots or beets are pureed, combined with medium-thick milk or sour cream sauce and heated. The puree is served with butter or sour cream.
