Among the variety of dishes, sauces stand apart. These are the very notes that make food sparkle with new shades and tastes, make it special and unique.
It's no secret that different housewives get the same dish in different ways. And the point here is not in the main components and in the method of preparation (after all, even cold snacks will differ), namely in the sauce.
We are already accustomed to the variety and magnificence of the tastes of these seasonings, which occupied the shelves of our supermarkets. But there are also not quite mastered culinary representatives. One of these is Worcester sauce. The English call it Worcester, but we will focus on the usual transcription for us.
So, the Worcester sauce. What is it and what does it eat with?
The story of the appearance of this seasoning on our tables is noteworthy. Here is just the case that they say: "There would be no happiness, but misfortune helped." One English lord from his wanderings in the Indian expanses brought a recipe for a sauce that could not win over his stomach.
The container with the cooked product was put in the basement and forgot about it. But once, sorting through the rubble, he stumbled upon it by accident. The barrel was pulled into the light, printed, and its contents turned out to be unusually tasty. With this, the Worcester sauce began its triumphal procession. At first he became a welcome guest in the
kitchens of English mansions, but gradually conquered more and more countries.
He got to Russia. However, former Soviet citizens, not spoiled by the variety of culinary delights in store, were puzzled: “What should you eat this spicy and rather concentrated seasoning with?” The answer was found pretty soon. Worcester sauce is an indispensable ingredient in Caesar salad. It is impossible to imagine the preparation of the famous “Bloody Mary” cocktail without this chic gift from the British. But this is far from the limit of our British friend's capabilities. It is added to various vegetable soups, hot appetizers, sandwiches and sandwiches. It goes especially well with Tatar meat and pickled fish. Those who prefer to drink tomato sauce with spices will be delighted to add this product to it. Many people don’t like the taste of Tabasco, but Worcester sauce goes very well with this drink.
The only thing to keep in mind when starting cooking is that this seasoning is very concentrated, so use 2-3 drops. The maximum is 5-7 if the portion is large.
Many housewives choose Worcester sauce, the price of which, by the way, is not much higher than for mayonnaise, mustard and other seasonings. The original product is from Lea & Perrins. However, it can only be found in gourmet stores. But in any supermarket you can easily find Heinz Worcester sauce. It has slight differences in taste, but also costs less.
But what if you never found Worcester sauce? How to replace it? In such cases, soya sauce, already familiar to us, will always come to your aid .
