Cooking method

I was, I wrote an introduction about what a wonderful food it is - a hodgepodge with a duck. And then I decided that I would just show the pictures - what happened and I would only note one circumstance. We prepared the solyanka according to a very simple, rustic recipe. The recipe, by the way, was taken from one of the old books.
Here's the food.
The duck turned out to be soft and juicy, and the skin is what I do on purpose. To, you know, crunch. Well, we like it that way.
Country duck. Or home, whatever you want, call it that. But the bird was fattened with grain, basically it walked for itself, swam in the wild.
What and how to do with a duck, in terms of cutting and dismemberment, I have already told you. Quite detailed. Anyone interested - contact. I'll tell you where it lies.
In a pot with a hodgepodge, if anything, only the thighs with legs and those parts from soup sets (see the post about cutting), where there is meat.
Why is cabbage good? Of course, the phrase: “… and putting it on the table is not a shame, but eaten - it’s not a pity” has firmly taken its place in folklore, but what to do, this vegetable is so tasty and satisfying, in addition to versatility.
This time we took fresh cabbage, we didn’t make any stocks of sauerkraut this year, but what we do is either eaten “from under the arm” in the form of salads, or it goes for sour cabbage soup. Although ... I agree that pickled one would be more appropriate here.
But what we have is what we eat.
It is very convenient to chop a kaput with such a knife. And it turns out quickly and calibrated.
And two more products are needed. Everything - just.
Chop the onion head like this. Mediocre.
And grate a couple of carrots on a coarse grater. Or one big one. Carrots, by the way, from the cellar. Just as if just from the garden. Juicy and sweet.
A little vegetable oil. Olive is fine here. Because there is no need to build up a special temperature.
Fry the onion until golden brown. Well, so that he becomes quite a bit unprepared.
Then put the carrots in a frying pan and mix thoroughly after a couple of minutes.
Then, stirring constantly, very delicately, simmer over low heat. Cover the pan with a lid.
As soon as the carrots soften, give a little of the first juice, just a little, stew for another five minutes. She doesn't have to be completely ready. But softness must be achieved.
Put the pieces of duck on the bottom of the pan. Do not forget to salt.
Then pepper. Best coarsely ground from a mill. How many? And then it already depends on you. As you love - do so.
What else? We didn't put in anything else. And there are many options, everything, I repeat, depends only on your tastes and preferences.
Fry pieces of duck right in a saucepan (we have it with a thick bottom - just a cauldron). First on one side, then on the other. I like the crust to crunch, as mentioned, so I cooked longer.
And cabbage. Sweat a little, then turn it over. Stir very well so that the whole cabbage is almost saturated with fat ...
And again under the lid on a small light.
As the cabbage begins to soften, send the carrots to the pan.
And mix again. Constantly turning the contents of the pan, ensure that the duck fat is in the mass of the cabbage. Soaked her.
From a certain point, the view will change very quickly. It is important not to be lazy and work with a spatula. Keep the fire small. If the cabbage burns even a little, consider it lost! Everything was in vain. So ... watch out, in general, don't get distracted.
And actually here. And the aroma…. The aroma ... well, very appetizing!
No, whatever you say, but duck and cabbage are a very good duet. Essentially coincident….
The bird's skin is crispy and crispy !!! The cabbage was saturated with duck fat, softened, but still a hint of crunchiness remained ... but only a hint! Believe it or not, it’s just everything, very tasty. Delicious!!!
Angela at the meal!
