The importance of vegetable dishes and side dishes in nutrition is determined primarily by the chemical composition of vegetables and, first of all, by the carbohydrate content. Thus, potato dishes and side dishes serve as the most important source of starch. Dishes made from beets, carrots, and green peas contain a significant amount of sugars.

Vegetable dishes and side dishes are especially important as a source of valuable minerals. Most vegetables are dominated by alkaline ash elements (potassium, sodium, calcium, etc.), so dishes made from them help maintain acid-base balance in the body, since acidic elements predominate in meat, fish, cereals, and legumes. In addition, the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in many vegetables is close to optimal. Vegetable dishes, especially beets, are a source of hematopoietic microelements (copper, manganese, zinc, cobalt).

Although vitamins are partially lost during heat treatment, vegetable dishes and side dishes cover the bulk of the body's need for vitamin C and a significant portion for B vitamins. Parsley, dill, and onion, which are added when serving, significantly increases the C-vitamin activity of dishes.

Despite the low content and inferiority of most plant proteins, vegetable dishes serve as an additional source of them. When vegetables are combined with heat, fish, eggs, cottage cheese and other protein products, the secretion of gastric juice almost doubles and the absorption of animal proteins improves.

Chapter 3. Dishes and side dishes from vegetables and mushrooms

Flavoring, coloring and aromatic substances contained in vegetables help increase appetite and allow you to diversify your diet.

Vegetables are used to prepare dishes for self-serving in the breakfast, lunch or dinner diet and side dishes for meat and fish dishes.

For complex side dishes, vegetables are selected so that they combine well in taste and color. With the help of a side dish, you can balance the nutritional value of the dish as a whole, and regulate its weight and volume.

Meat dishes* are usually served with side dishes of any vegetables.

Features of sauce design

Mushroom sauces are not independent dishes. They are used to improve the aroma, taste, and appearance of dishes. Sauces are served in special dishes - gravy boats, rosettes and other small dishes. Sauces are also used to decorate dishes. There are many techniques for painting with sauces. From ordinary simple strokes to entire compositions. The sauces themselves are not just released, they are often decorated with a bunch of curly parsley, this simple method adds appetizing and unusualness. Also, very often, a piece, slice or small part of the product that serves as the basis for its preparation is carefully placed on the surface of the sauce, so that it does not fall through or turn over.

Rules for dispensing and storing sauces

Sauces are judged by consistency, color and taste. They have a uniform consistency, varying degrees of thickness depending on the amount of flour, liquid and other incoming products, which must be finely chopped or pureed. A film on the surface of hot sauces is unacceptable.

The color of the sauces corresponds to the main product from which they are prepared. The red sauce should be dark red in color; white, milk, sour cream - from white to cream; tomato - red, mushroom - brown; marinade - orange, etc.

The taste of the sauces should be like the broths used (meat, fish, mushroom) or milk and sour cream with some deviations; red sauce - with a sweet and sour taste and the smell of roots; white - with a slightly noticeable smell of roots; tomato - with a sweet and sour taste. Milk with a burnt smell and too sour sour cream should not be used to prepare sauces.

Before serving, hot sauces are stored in a water bath (bain-marie) in a container with a lid. To prevent a film from forming during storage, sauces should be stirred periodically or pieces of butter should be placed on the surface of the sauce.

The storage temperature of different sauces is not the same. Depending on the type of sauce, it ranges from 40 to 80°.

Sauces based on meat, fish and mushroom broths can be stored hot in a water bath (bain-marie) for no more than 4 hours at a temperature not exceeding 85°. If sauces need to be stored longer than the specified period, they must be refrigerated and reheated as needed. Sauces that are chilled and then reheated taste better than hot sauces that have been stored for a long time. Basic sauces as semi-finished products can be stored for 2-3 days at a temperature of 0-5°.

The thick milk sauce can be stored refrigerated for 24 hours; medium-thick sauce after preparation must be used immediately; liquid sauce should be stored for no more than 11/2 hours at a temperature no higher than 65-70°. At temperatures above this and for longer periods of storage, the sauce becomes red due to caramelization of sugars.

Sour cream sauces are stored at a temperature of 75 °C for no more than 2 hours from the moment of preparation.

The main defects of sour cream sauces are the use of low-quality sour cream - with high acidity, foreign flavors or insufficient sour cream. In addition, there may be defects depending on the flour sauteing - a burnt taste, lumpiness. If the sauce is not boiled well, you can smell raw sour cream.
