If you don't want to spend the entire evening preparing dinner, stock your freezer with ready-to-eat meals.

We are not talking about store-bought dumplings now – tasty and healthy preparations are easy to make yourself.

For example, you can cut up and freeze the meat you're going to use for goulash in advance.

To do this, you need to cut a piece of beef or pork into pieces measuring 3x3 cm, pepper them and fry them. It is better to store the meat in a container, and salt it directly during the cooking process.

You can do the same with chops - just cut the tenderloin or neck into portions, beat and marinate.

By the way, here is a recipe for a marinade with wine: add a teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of sugar, a tablespoon of dry white wine, 2-3 cloves and 3 allspice peas to a liter of boiling water.

When the marinade has cooled, dip the meat into it, place it in containers and store.

By the way, the preparations can also be used to make rolls – prepare the meat as for chops, add salt and pepper.

The fillings for this dish are very diverse – mushrooms fried with onions, boiled egg and herbs, bacon fried in a frying pan with the addition of walnuts and garlic...

The rolls can be cooked right away. Fry them in a frying pan and then stew them until they become soft and tender, or they can be stored in the freezer.
