People often include fried vegetables in their diets. This method of culinary processing allows you to discover in a new way, and sometimes completely change the idea of their taste.
Perfect combination
There are many different ways of frying. Fresh vegetables can be processed in an ordinary frying pan with a small addition of oil or dipped in hot fat for instant formation of a crisp. The dishes where vegetables are cooked along with other food products are very popular. Take, for example, mushrooms. They are perfectly combined to taste with many vegetable crops. This allows the hostesses to show their imagination and each time to create new, interesting dishes.
As the main option, you can use a recipe that uses the following set of products:
- 2 carrots, 1 pod of sweet bell pepper, 100 grams of peas, fresh mushrooms and young ears of corn, 1 onion, as well as a little salt, rosemary, olive oil and ground black pepper. You can also add a few broccoli inflorescences.
In this case, fried vegetables should be prepared as follows:
- The first thing to do is grind the products. For this, carrots should be cut into slices, onions into cubes, peppers into straws, and the corn and mushrooms arbitrarily divided into pieces with a knife.
- First, fry the carrots and onions in a pan.
- Then you should add the remaining vegetables and continue the process of heat treatment for about 5 minutes.
- Last of all, mushrooms are sent to the pan.
- Spices are added after the foods have softened enough.
Fried vegetables prepared in this way will be a great option for a full dinner or a great addition to lunch.
Breaded fried
Sometimes housewives, wanting to get a spectacular crust, expose the products to excessive heat treatment, not realizing that they do irreparable harm in this way. There is an easier way for this. Fried vegetables can just be breaded. As a result, the main product is covered with a delicate fragrant layer that will only emphasize its taste. As a striking example, you can consider a rather original recipe. This will require:
- 90 grams of flour, 2 medium eggplant, a tablespoon of tomato paste, 2 onions, half a glass of sour cream and 50 grams of vegetable oil.
Prepare the products in turn:
- Pour the washed eggplant with boiling water, and then cut into thin rings.
- Roll them, as it should, in flour and fry in oil in a hot pan.
- Fry the chopped onion separately.
- Add the pasta and sour cream to the pan where the eggplants were cooked. Products should boil a little. It will turn out a wonderful sauce.
Before serving, eggplant should be put on a plate in a stack, alternating them with fried onions. And then pour the whole structure with the cooked sauce.
Original way
Sometimes photos of fried vegetables look very beautiful. Especially if they are cooked in an unusual way. For example, they can be prepared on the grill. This is one way of frying. However, in this case, the products, as a rule, quickly lose moisture, after which they become very dry and tasteless. To prevent this from happening. They must first be soaked in a special marinade, consisting, for example, of vegetable oil, spices, herbs and various sauces. You can use other options. This cooking method is best considered with a specific example.
To work, you will need:
- 3 sweet peppers, 1 eggplant, 2 onions, 3 tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, 50 milliliters of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and 10 milliliters of soy sauce.
Procedure:
- First you need to wash the vegetables.
- After that they should be crushed. It is better to cut onions, eggplant and tomatoes into rings, and pepper into large strips, having previously removed seeds from it.
- After that, the marinade is prepared. For him, crushed garlic must be mixed with the remaining ingredients.
- Fold the vegetables in a plastic bag, pour the cooked marinade, mix and leave for 30 minutes.
- Put prepared foods on a barbecue grill and fry on each side for 10 minutes.
Such a dish can be used as a side dish or a good snack for spirits.
