Cooking method
Many novice housewives are wondering how to properly cook fried onions and carrots, because it goes to a huge number of dishes of Slavic cuisine, most often to the first courses, but also to the second, as well as to salads.
So getting used to cooking it is of course important if you want your dish to taste right.
1. First, take a large head of white onion, peel it, rinse it in cold water and cut it. It should be cut quite finely. First, cut the onion in half, then into half rings thinly and then cut the half rings along finely.
2. Pour oil into the pan and heat it up. Spread the onion on the heated oil. We distribute it over the entire surface of the frying pan. There should be enough oil, but so that the onion does not float in it. We set the fire to a minimum. Then the onion will definitely not burn while you are doing carrots.
3. Wash, peel and grate the carrots on a fine grater.
4. When the onion becomes transparent, you can pour out the carrots. Mix well and also leave to fry on low heat. When the carrots start the juice, become soft and lighten, then the roast is ready.
There are some nuances.
If you cut onions and grate carrots in advance, you can make a roast on a higher heat, only then you need to stir all the time and do not move away from the stove. In this case, the roast will cook faster.
Carrots absorb oil. If you see that after the onion has become transparent, and there is practically no oil, then you need to add a little more, otherwise the carrot will burn.
Also, some housewives like the roast to be with carrots, grated on a coarse grater. In this case, it is recommended to first put carrots in the pan, and then onions, so that the carrots have time to cook.
Frying with finely grated carrots lets in more juice and makes the first and second dishes more beautiful in color. Gives them a pleasant aroma.
Tomato paste or tomato juice or juice of fresh tomatoes are added to the borscht roast.
You can also add Bulgarian pepper to the roast. It gives the dish an incredible flavor. You can also add spices and spices to it if you are preparing a spicy dish.
Frying is added to the first dishes a few minutes before the end of cooking.
Enjoy cooking!
