1. Pork in French

Meat in French is an invention of Soviet housewives, which has nothing to do with the cuisine of France. Each family has its own signature recipe, here is one of the simplest and most affordable. The pork is very tender, and the potatoes are fragrant.

Ingredients

• 1 kg of pork;
• salt and black ground pepper - to taste;
• 6 potatoes;
• 3 tomatoes;
• 2 onions;
• 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise;
• 1 teaspoon chopped dried basil
• 200 g of hard cheese;
• sunflower oil for lubrication.

Cooking

Wash, dry and cut the pork into medallions about 1 cm thick. If desired, the meat can be lightly beaten. Sprinkle each piece with salt and pepper. Let the meat sit for a couple of hours. If possible, let it marinate overnight, but in this case, keep it in the refrigerator.

When the meat is cooked, peel and cut the potatoes into thin circles. Do the same with tomatoes. Cut the onion into rings.

Mix mayonnaise with basil. Rub the cheese on a coarse grater.

Grease a deep baking sheet or baking dish with sunflower oil. Lay out in layers: pork, onions, potatoes, mayonnaise, tomatoes, cheese.

Bake for 60 minutes at 180°C.

When the meat is marinated, thread it onto wooden skewers. Their length should be about 20-23 cm to fit in the jar.

Finely chop the remaining three onions, put on the bottom of a three-liter jar and pour boiling water over it. It is important that the jar is dry, without cracks and flaws. Add liquid smoke and line meat skewers inside. Will fit about five or six pieces.

Seal the neck of the jar with foil. Place the jar on the oven rack. The oven must be cold. Then set the temperature to 220 ° C and bake for 1.5 hours.

Wrap the jar in a dry towel (wet glass may break), remove from the oven, place on a wooden cutting board and let cool slightly. Then remove the foil and carefully remove the meat skewers.

Cooking in the oven is not only convenient, but also very useful. Judge for yourself: you can cook food with a minimum amount of oil or fat and salt, and the golden crust is achieved by high temperature, and not by burning oil or fat, as is the case with frying. Therefore, almost all dishes in the oven can be given to children.

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

Before we tell you more about the dishes in the oven, consider the methods of cooking in the oven.

baking sheet. Almost everything can be cooked on a baking sheet - from pies, pies and pizza to the most fancy casseroles and monumental or small (portioned) meat or fish dishes. Hot sandwiches please! Fish on a vegetable pillow - easy! The only disadvantage of cooking on an open baking sheet can be overdrying of the dish, but here you need to know the nature of your oven well.

Form for cooking. Baking molds are different: round, square and rectangular, solid and detachable, with or without a hole in the center - the choice is huge. In addition to the classic steel and cast iron molds for cooking in the oven, you can use silicone ones, they are much more convenient. In the baking dish you can cook casseroles or soufflés (sweet and savory), roasts, julienne or goulash.

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

This is the younger brother of foil, made from a durable two-layer heat-resistant film. You can cook a dish in a sleeve, tying it so that air does not escape from 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 appetizing crust.

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

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