The presence of any delicacies on the festive table has always been considered an indicator of status. The most common among them are dishes such as boiled pork or carbonate.
Carbonate is meat that is a product of fresh, unsalted pork. Carbonate is prepared in the same way as boiled pork. Both of these types of meat must be fried on a baking sheet. As for the taste, they are almost the same.
So, what needs to be done to prepare carbonate - meat that your guests will like?
You will need unsalted fillet of young pork. A thin layer of bacon must be left on its surface. As a rule, leave a layer whose thickness does not exceed half a centimeter.
A piece of pork, which is cut in advance for the preparation of carbonate, must be in the shape of a rectangle. It is rubbed on all sides with garlic, previously crushed, as well as nutmeg, coated with salt and put in the oven. Please note that most housewives cook carbonate in the oven. This meat, like any other, will not be ready soon - after three hours.
This is necessary so that the meat is completely baked.
If the whole piece is not included in your pan, then it is best to cut it into two halves, grate it with a mixture of salt, sugar and black pepper. To taste, you can add some other spices or even use seasonings that are designed specifically for meat dishes.
Meat with all of the above ingredients is laid out in a pan, sprinkled with plenty of vegetable oil. Sometimes you want to add some zest to the carbonate. I want to make the meat more fragrant and tasty, so often add brine to it, which remains after pickled tomatoes or cucumbers.
As a rule, you need to extinguish it over a large fire on the stove. It is advisable to cover the meat as it boils, make the fire a little smaller and then darken for another fifteen minutes.
Carbonate must be turned to the other side and extinguished for another fifteen minutes, while reducing the fire is not necessary.
How to find out when the meat will be ready? Many housewives are of the opinion that carbonate should be stewed until the sauce is boiled out and becomes thick, like sour cream. It usually takes forty minutes to achieve this effect.
Sometimes at home they make carbonate in the oven. As you know, in the oven, the meat is even more tender, it is baked properly, acquires an appetizing color, pleasant aroma and divine taste.
To do this, you need a kilogram of carbonate, two tomatoes, mayonnaise, Russian or Dutch cheese, salt and pepper - to taste.
Carbonate must be cut into pieces, preferably in the form of cutlets, put on a baking sheet, which is pre-lubricated with vegetable oil. Do not forget to grease slices of carbonate with mayonnaise, sprinkle with cheese and put tomatoes on top.
Now put the baking sheet in the oven, detect for forty minutes - and now the delicious dish is already on your table.
If you like sharper dishes, then you need to pepper the carbonate before putting it in the oven. Since the meat (carbonate) itself is dry, it should be made more juicy. That's what you need mayonnaise for.
Baked carbonate will not leave anyone indifferent. Meat will need no more than a kilogram. You also need to take five cloves of garlic, thyme, sea salt - only one and a half teaspoons, and also can not do without a mixture of peppers, and ground.
No more ingredients are needed.
Meat should be washed, dried with dry napkins. In a separate plate, salt, peppers, thyme are mixed and rubbed with meat. Chop the garlic and finely chop it with meat. Then put it on a ceramic plate, cover and place in the refrigerator, where it lies for about a day.
After this, the carbonate must be tied with twine, and also wrapped with foil. Bake pork in the oven for an hour and a half, while maintaining the temperature at least 180 degrees.
After the meat is ready, it is not deployed, crushed with a load, cool. The final step is the removal of foil, thread and cutting carbonate into small pieces.
