"If you approach the process of cookingcreatively, then in the post you can eat very diverse. With the help of simple techniques, it is possible to change ordinary dishes beyond recognition. And in such a way that they will “sound” in a completely new way. For example, the usual salad can be served not in the classic cutting into small cubes, as we are all used to, but cut into larger ones, adding unusual ingredients there. Sauerkraut, fresh green peas, cilantro and other greens, fill it with rustic butter, you can also add garlic oil. And, therefore, the perception of taste will be completely different, because it will no longer look like a familiar vinaigrette. Or you can actively use crispy pancakes - a thin dough made from wheat flour, a special dough for spring rolls, you can buy it in many supermarkets and cook it many interesting dishes. I recommend making Mexican-style stuffing for such pancakes: fried champignons, coarsely chopped, mixed with red onion and chili pepper with canned beans. Wrap the filling in pancakes and serve them vegetarian sauce. To make it, ripe avocados must be ground in a blender with olive oil, lemon juice and cilantro. ”
