Beef Hatcho: Recipe for Cooking

Georgian cuisine has a special placeamong a wide variety of national dishes of the once united state. Few people have not heard of such respected recipes in Georgian as Chahokhbili, Khinkali, Khachapuri or Satsivi. Georgian cuisine is so diverse that in nature there simply is not a single recipe for cooking one or another dish. The dishes are cooked in different ways in the west or in the east, and everyone correctly considers their recipe to be the only correct one, but the basic ingredients without which the dish loses its national flavor remain unchanged. Here is the recipe for the famous dzerochis khortsi harshot, which is better known to many fans of the real Georgian cuisine like soup kharcho, without meat broth, rice, puree of tkemali or walnuts, without the spice of hops-sunels will not have anything to do with real beef, Georgian. A distinctive feature of Georgian cuisine is the abundance of spices used in the preparation of the first and second dishes. The most common and famous spices are coriander (coriander), hops-suneli, tarragon, saffron, basil, black and red pepper, etc. However, contrary to popular belief, hot red pepper, for example, is used rather sparingly. The meaning of the application of spices, in a variety of combinations, is to impart a flavor to the dish and a certain taste, and not to give it acuity per se. The recipe of the dish offers varieties of broth on poultry meat, lamb and beef. In Georgian cuisine, poultry meat and beef are most often used. We will consider the classic recipe for cooking beef from beef. To make soup, a piece of fresh beef meat, preferably breast. Meat is thoroughly washed and separated from bones and films. Then percutaneous pieces are cut across the fibers, at the rate of 3-4 pieces per serving. It is allowed to roast the meat extracted from the broth with onions, while the broth acquires a more rich taste. It is worth noting that the sour soup kharcho must be cooked in an enamel saucepan, aluminum for this reason is not suitable for obvious reasons. Recipe kharcho in Georgian suggests a lot of greens and spices. Cilantro, for example, has its own specific taste, therefore, using it, it is necessary to focus on the taste preferences of the consumers of the product. The "classic" recipe for cooking kharcho is simply inconceivable without such an important ingredient as clapping. It is dried in the sun puree from the pulp of plum tkemali (cherry plums). In addition to tkemali, mashed potatoes can be prepared from cornelian fruits. Puree from fruit is dried in the sun and get a semi-dry plate, which can be stored for a long time in the form of a cake. In the future, if necessary, a small piece is broken off from such a plate and soaked in a small amount of broth. This sauce is used to prepare a lot of Georgian dishes. Close to the taste and quality of the substitute for Georgian tklapi can be prepared in a similar way from the fruits of strawberries.
