Capítulo 133: Experimenting with recipes
Dara still did not know that even having a complete recipe for preparing medicinal food on hand, if the fruit itself was of a different type, then the healing properties of the food will either be more or less, or they will not be at all.
All this he had to find out in the course of culinary experiments.
He did not possess the cultivation methods of the "Culinary Dao", but simply could strengthen his instincts, he could activate things in which there were alien viruses. No more.
And then the system gave him a chance to try something new.
Recently on the farm, fresh artichokes are ripe. They can be removed from the outlet several times to harvest.
Artichokes could regenerate liver cells. But they, Dara had never tasted before. They subtracted, the artichokes contained an overwhelming amount of oxalic acid. This acid contributes to the formation of sand and stones in the liver, bladder. Therefore, one property of an artichoke healed and another could harm human health.
Therefore, he had to choose the right recipe, the right person to get the maximum positive result.
Artshock is an exquisite delicacy. 1 kg of which Dara, used to eat in the markets of the capital Small-An, about $ 40. Only the cream of society could afford such a delicacy.
Therefore, its sales were sporadic, only in two or three places in the market and one restaurant. And there, a cooked artichoke already costs about $ 100 per serving.
Artichoke is a very delicate product, its shelf life is only 5 days at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent. It cannot be transported.
Surprisingly, the artichoke ripened ahead of schedule, looked fresh with a bright, rich color.
Dara carefully cut off the sharp ends of the scales from the top of the fruit, then cut off the stem at the very base. The trick is so that the slices do not darken, they are treated with lemon juice. The ovary with a flower, Dara removed from the middle of the basket.
Taking the artichoke fruit in his hands, Dara gently washed it. Two pieces. I covered it with culinary thread so that the leaves do not disintegrate during boiling.
To prepare a dish according to a recipe from a treatise on Whole Cooking, he had to use two methods of cooking.
The first was steaming, two cooked artichokes, which Dara put in a slow cooker. Poured hot water, threw in a fizz of salt. The reprint talked about pink Himalayan salt, but Dara threw sea salt from Jordan. I put the multi-cook mode at 95 degrees for 15 minutes. And the recipe was about a plum tree courtyard pot on the fire. But Dara, about these subtleties, did not think much. He was in a hurry, as always, somewhere.
There was a squeak of the multicooker. The artichokes were cooked. Dara slowly took them out, gave the steppe water.
But he put the boiled artichoke in a steel pan, which he had previously smeared with olive oil and not lamb fat, as it was in the ancient recipe.
The system at that moment scoffed at him since Dara completely lost sight of the fact that it was necessary to cook in full compliance with all the prescriptions.
But he didn't know it yet. Dara, it was interesting to prepare food, he always loved culinary experiments, he did not go the beaten path. Therefore, sometimes he got amazing results and more often he lost.
Fried from the spirit of the sides. But instead of thick milk sauce, Dara filled the artichokes with a decoction of boiled artichokes and stewed them. After that, he added feta to the artichokes, sprinkled them with basil, added soy sauce, a little bit, and put it on baking for 20 minutes at 160 degrees in a slow cooker.
And then he scooped the received food into a bowl with a large spoon. It was delicious, the juicy and delicate pulp of artichokes got on the tongue, which had a scent somewhat reminiscent of perfume. Sweet and sour semi-eternal sauce from mixing soy sauce and feta, pleasantly diversified the taste buds.
In terms of taste, the dish was quite well prepared, but from the point of view of medicinal cooking, it lacked a lot.
Therefore, he failed miserably at the first quest to test his semi-eternal knowledge. His food didn't heal anything. As punishment for Dara, he received from the system - pain in the knees, pain in the legs, so much so that he could not walk for 3 days.
