Home-made pork with potatoes - general principles of cooking
• Almost all recipes for homemade dishes are combined with simplicity and speed of preparation, as well as an affordable “budget” set of products. Pork with potatoes can be fried, baked in the sleeve or in a frying pan in the oven, stewed in pots, cooked in a slow cooker. Complementing the main ingredients with different products, and applying different methods of heat treatment, get completely different dishes.
• How tasty the dish will be, depends not only on compliance with prescription recommendations, but also on the correct choice of products. The meat must be fresh, with a dense fiber structure and no wind, no unpleasant smell. When pressing on the pulp, there should be no dents.
• It is advisable to buy fresh or chilled meat, although it is allowed to use frozen meat. Pieces of steamy pork are soaked in water before use in order to get blood out of them. Frozen meat is thawed at room temperature without removing it from the bag.
• Before using, pieces of pork must be washed with water, then dried thoroughly and proceed to cutting. They remove all the excess: the remaining tendons, thick films, hanging pieces of fat, then cut, according to a specific recipe.
