We cook meat baked in foil

Baking is perhaps one of the most ancient ways of cooking. Of course, our distant ancestors used open fire or baked products in hot ashes, and today we use modern ovens, but the result is almost the same - a soft, juicy dish without excess fat and carcinogenic crust.

Baking for modern culinary specialists is also attractive because it does not require constant monitoring of the process. He prepared the food, put it in the oven, turned on the timer - and is free, the dish will cook itself.

One way to bake is to make food in foil. Thus, you can cook meat, vegetables, fish, chicken. The secret of success is in the correct preparation of the product and in the ability to wrap it in foil.

It would seem that there is complicated? In fact, the taste of the baked product depends on how tight the package was, so it is very important to properly form the seams, so that all the juice is left inside, and not spread over the baking tray and burned.

It is important to choose a suitable type of foil, it should not be too thin, as it easily tears and sticks to the food. Therefore, if there is only a foil of 8-9 microns in the household, then it should be doubled before wrapping the products. By the way, put the product for baking should be on its shiny side, and not on matte, so the dish will cook faster.

So, how to cook meat in foil? Firstly, it is worthwhile to understand that pork is the best for baking a piece. When using beef, the result can be disappointing. But if you plan to bake thin pieces (such as chops), then you can use young beef.

For example, very tasty meat, baked in foil, can be made from a pork neck, which is sold in pieces resembling a bread loaf. The recipe by which we will cook pork meat baked in foil is very simple. In addition to the actual foil and meat, we need garlic and spices to taste the mistress.

First you need to peel the garlic and cut it into fairly large pieces. Now we'll make knifes in a piece of meat, and put in pieces of garlic. In this way, we bacon the meat with garlic.

Mix the salt and spices, which we plan to use, and rub the resulting fragrant mixture of meat. Do not regret spices, because a piece of pork is quite large, and we need it to evenly absorb the salt and aromas of spices. Spilled meat should be wrapped in food film and kept in the refrigerator for several hours, you can leave the pork marinated for the whole night.

Then the prepared meat should be wrapped in foil, gently, several times, bending the seams, so that the package is sealed. By this time, the oven should be heated to 220 degrees, put a baking tray with our meat. After about an hour, the heating is reduced to a temperature of 160 degrees and leave the meat in the oven for another 1.5 to 2 hours (the time depends on the weight of a piece of pork).

At the end of the baking time, you can open the foil on top of the piece and lightly brown the meat under the grill. When deploying, you need to be very careful, otherwise you can get a burn.

Our meat, baked in foil, is ready! It can be served as a hot dish, cut into portions and offered him a side dish of fresh vegetables. And after cooling, meat baked in foil can be used as a cold snack or for making sandwiches.

Bake in the foil can not only large pieces of meat, but also portioned or even smaller pieces. In this case, you can cook meat in foil with vegetables. That is, both meat and garnish will be prepared simultaneously in their own juice. To prepare this dish, a piece of meat, chopped and grated with spices, is laid out on a piece of foil of suitable size, and cut vegetables are placed on top of it. You can use onions, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, cabbage. To vegetables, you can add boiled and chopped mushrooms. They need not forget to salt. For juiciness and giving a special taste, our dish can be poured with sour cream or a mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise. We wrap our semi-finished product in foil and bake in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes, then open our "envelopes" so that the juice does not flow, sprinkle with grated cheese and put it into the oven for another 10 minutes. Done! Bon Appetit!
