Not every housewife can cook delicious borscht or mouth-watering cabbage soup, and experience, by the way, has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Knowledge of the technology for preparing these dishes plays a decisive role.
Without this, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, is convinced, mistakes will prevent you from reaching the top of the culinary Olympus.
For example, many cooks are accustomed to using vegetable oil when preparing fried ingredients for the first course.
It’s not surprising – their mothers and grandmothers taught them this method, passing down the recipe for borscht or shchi from generation to generation.
Nobody says that vegetable oil can completely ruin the taste of a dish.
The point is that if you replace it with another product, the soups will become much tastier and more filling.
Next time you cook cabbage soup or borscht, try making a vegetable fry in lard.
You'll see, the result will surprise you - pleasantly, of course.
After such an experience, you will probably start using vegetable oil exclusively for other purposes - you are unlikely to want to return to this product again.
After all, lard makes the taste and texture of the dishes you prepare much better.
And if you add a little ghee or butter to the pan (this should be done at the very end), your dishes will be a worthy competitor to those served in restaurants.
