I add cauliflower sprigs to the vegetables, do it without foil and add a little water so that it doesn’t burn as it evaporates, sprinkle lemon juice on top so that it doesn’t have a bland taste, and if you add garlic, then towards the end of cooking

I would change this recipe: cut the celery root into slices 1-1.5 cm high, unpeeled onion (then, while hot, just squeeze out the tuber), whole eggplants (then, while hot, quickly remove the peel and cut lengthwise into slices), tomatoes, peppers. In Turkey, the Turks treated me to fish and vegetables, everything baked. Baked celery is very tasty
Answer: Lily, thanks for the comment! Interesting option!

Lana: | November 12th, 2018 | 4:07 pm

It turned out very tasty! Only I also added soy sauce to the marinade, it turned out almost like from a barbecue in the summer. Only blue ones (eggplants) need to be salted in advance to remove the bitterness of the glass, then rinsed.

I tried to modernize it for a heartier version: I added lightly fried chicken breast in pieces to the vegetables, replaced the champignons with pre-soaked dry mushrooms, and did not use zucchini. It turned out very tasty (although this is apparently a different recipe))) but maybe it will be useful to someone...
Thanks for your ideas!
Answer: Karina, thanks for the new version of this recipe!

Olga: | July 27th, 2017 | 2:12 pm

You still need to focus on your oven. In mine, even 45 minutes at 210 degrees turned out to be too much - the vegetables were already too soft, but they were still browned... However, overall the recipe is interesting and not troublesome, I’ll try to cook it again, significantly reducing the cooking time.
Answer: Olga, thank you for your feedback! Yes, all ovens are different, you need to focus on the features of yours, that’s true.

Answer: Elena, bon appetit! :)

It is advisable to position the tray with the dish in such a way that there is a small distance between the top and bottom shelves. This will help the food cook evenly. When cooking in an electric oven, it is recommended to use ceramic or cast iron cookware.

In an electric oven you can cook fish, meat, poultry, pastries and other dishes. It is advisable to preheat the oven to a certain temperature before cooking. This is especially important when baking baked goods.

RECIPE FOR FLOUSE WITH TOMATOES

What you need:

  • 4 flounders
  • 350 ml sour cream
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 250 g hard cheese
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • zest of one lemon
  • salt and pepper - to taste
  • 1 bunch of dill

How to cook flounder with tomatoes:

    Clean and gut the flounder thoroughly. Don't forget to remove the fins and tails. Then rinse the carcasses under cold water and wipe dry with a paper towel.

    Take a deep bowl and mix chopped dill and zest with sour cream.

    Place the fish on foil and brush with the prepared sour cream sauce. After this, cut the tomatoes into slices and place them on top of the fish. Sprinkle with finely grated cheese. Wrap the fish in foil and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C. Cooking time should not exceed 30-40 minutes.

If you prefer delicious baked pork, try cooking it with eggplant and tomato sauce.

RECIPE FOR BAKED PORK WITH EGGPLANT

What you need:

  • 3 eggplants
  • 500 g pork
  • 4 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 7 tomatoes
  • 5 eggs
  • salt, pepper - to taste
  • 2 tsp provencal herbs

How to cook baked pork with eggplant:

    Wash the eggplants, dry and cut into slices. Lightly salt and leave for 10 minutes. Then rinse well again and dry. Drizzle the eggplants with vegetable oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 150°C for 25 minutes.

    Rinse the pork thoroughly and pass through a meat grinder. Fry the meat in a frying pan for 15 minutes. Don't forget to add salt and spices, and stir the minced meat during the frying process. Otherwise, lumps may form.

    Peel and chop the garlic, and then place it in a frying pan greased with butter.

    Wash the tomatoes, peel the skins, cut into cubes and add to the garlic. Add salt and slightly reduce the garlic-tomato sauce. If desired, you can add a small amount of basil to the sauce.

    Cool the resulting mixture and carefully fold in the beaten eggs. Mix everything well.

    For further preparation, you will need a heat-resistant form in which you need to place the eggplants and pork in layers. Top everything with a generous amount of homemade sauce. Place in the oven and cook for about an hour at 190°C.

    Before serving the dish, drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs, such as basil.

Cooking in the oven is not only convenient, but also very healthy. Judge for yourself: you can cook food with a minimum amount of oil or fat and salt, and the golden brown crust is achieved under the influence of high temperature, and not due to the combustion of oil or fat, as happens when frying. Therefore, almost all dishes in the oven can be given to children.

Many housewives perceive the oven as a tool for preparing festive weekend dishes: pies, kulebyak, boiled pork, roasts, grilled chicken and other complex dishes. But in fact, cooking in the oven is even easier than frying on the stove. While performing sacred acts over a frying pan, you have to make sure that the food does not burn, turn it over, cover it with a lid, reduce or increase the heat - in general, be completely in the process. The oven almost completely frees your hands, and if you also have a timer, then you are just a happy person. Look how simple it is: turn on the oven and, while it is heating up, prepare the food, put the dish in the oven, set the timer - and you are free!

Before telling you more about dishes in the oven, let’s look at the methods of cooking in the oven.

Baking tray. You can cook almost everything on a baking sheet - from pies, pies and pizza to the most imaginative casseroles and monumental or small (portioned) meat or fish dishes. Hot sandwiches - please! Fish on a bed of vegetables - easy! The only disadvantage of cooking on an open baking sheet may be drying out the dish, but here you need to know the nature of your oven well.

Baking dish. Baking pans come in different shapes: round, square and rectangular, solid and split, with or without a hole in the center - the choice is huge. In addition to classic steel and cast iron molds, you can use silicone molds for cooking in the oven; they are much more convenient. In a baking dish you can prepare a casserole or soufflé (sweet and savory), roast, julienne or goulash.

Foil. Aluminum foil allows you to prepare amazingly juicy dishes, any kind - meat, fish or vegetables. A properly packaged product languishes in foil, however, a golden brown crust does not form. But this problem can be easily solved if you cut the foil 10-15 minutes before the end of cooking and let the dish brown.

This is the younger brother of foil, made of durable two-layer heat-resistant film. You can cook the dish in a sleeve, tying it so that no air comes out of it and all the juices remain inside, or you can pierce it in the upper part, and then your dish will be covered with everyone’s favorite delicious crust.

Duckling and goose. Can be used instead of baking dishes. Old ones are made of cast iron, later models are made of aluminum. You can stew and simmer meat in them, try to cook pilaf according to an unusual recipe, or a dish like eintopf - either the first one is too thick, or the second one is runny.

Ceramic pots. Our site has already talked about what can be cooked in pots. Cooking in pots is quick, easy and healthy!

Grill. If your oven is equipped with a spit and the “Grill” function, then this is enough to cook juicy meat on a spit or grilled chicken. But if your oven does not have such a function, you can buy a special grill stand. This is a wire structure on which the chicken is placed, and a metal tray into which the fat and juice flow. But grilled chicken can be cooked without special devices - on a can or bottle. We have prepared this recipe for you.

Perhaps the whole secret is that the smells do not disperse throughout the apartment, but are concentrated in a confined space and, finding no way out, fill every piece of meat or potatoes. I think that’s why culinary masters don’t fry chops, but bake them under the crust, don’t stew the potatoes, but put them in the oven along with vegetables.

Would you say you bake more often than fry and steam? If yes, you will love the following recipes. These dishes are unusual in that they are simple, understandable and accessible. And each one can be cooked in less than an hour. Well, watch, read and add the recipes you like to your cookbook.
