The most healing thing about cold weather is food.
A pot of steaming meat and warm soup is served on the table, and all the cold air brought back from outside is instantly healed by this delicious taste.
Stewed mutton (the meat soup is delicious, the weather is cold and hot)
【Ingredients Required】
2 pounds of mutton, water, green garlic sprouts, coriander.
Seasoning: salt, peppercorns, ginger slices, cumin, kaempfer.
Auxiliary seasoning: a bay leaf, a little cinnamon.
Among them, the main one that must be put is Sichuan pepper, ginger, fennel, and kaempa, and the bay leaves and cinnamon can be put or not.
【How to do it】
1. Clean the lamb chops thoroughly first.
2. Blanch the lamb chops.
When blanching, you don't need to put any spices, but add enough salt to the water so that the blood foam will come out cleaner.
In terms of time, boil the water for 3 minutes.
Sometimes the photos of the bleeding foam are not taken, unfortunately!
3. Fill another saucepan with an appropriate amount of water in advance and bring the water to a boil.
After blanching the lamb chops, wash them off piece by piece from the boiling water and put them into the pot of hot water.
Again, it is best to change the water for the stew hot. Because if it is cold water, the blanched mutton will shrink in cold water and the taste will become old.
And if it's hot water, it will be very tender.
4. After the operation, stew the meat for 10 minutes, don't cover the pot first, so that the smell of sheep will disperse with the heat.
Look at this mutton, how good the meat is, I like this kind of lamb chops with small bones so much that I can't wait to take a bite right away.
5. After 10 minutes, you can add the seasoning.
The must-have seasonings are peppercorns, ginger slices, cumin, and kaempfer. The amount depends on the amount of meat.
These are the main ingredients for lamb stew, spices like cumin and kaemp, and pork stew can be left out, but when you stew mutton, it is a must-have spice, with them, the stewed meat is really delicious.
Let me see the quality of the meat after simmering for half an hour, it is a little loose. Wow, I saw that brittle bone and small bone, the brittle bone was my last, and it was so fragrant to chew.
6. In addition to the above seasonings, 20 minutes before cooking, add a bay leaf and a little cinnamon.
If you don't have it at home, you can actually leave it out, but if you do, put some to make the meat and soup more fragrant.
However, the amount of these two should be small, not only to increase the flavor, but also not to taste the taste of the existence of both.
7. Salt can be put in when it is simmered until it is six ripe.
If you put it too early, the meat will easily get old; If you put it too late, it won't taste good.
8. Use the time of the stew to cut the coriander and green garlic sprouts.
This is for soup, with them, the soup taste is really amazing, and it is also the standard beef soup and mutton soup in restaurants in the northwest.
9. In almost an hour, the lamb chops have been stewed very soft.
Then let's see it and eat it!
When I bought it, I felt quite fat, it was really a little fat sheep, soft and crispy after stewing, and the lean meat looked a little more.
10. The mutton must be served on the table and eaten while it is steaming.
Looking at this color, it is really super appetizing, and even the crispy bones are particularly delicious.
By the way, when eating mutton, you must have a few more cloves of raw garlic, which is greasy and fragrant, and many people may not like to eat garlic and feel that it is delicious.
However, without this garlic always feel that something is missing, I don't believe you can try it, eating lamb with raw garlic will really be more delicious, but don't eat garlic on an empty stomach.
11. After the mutton is removed, do not turn off the heat, and serve the soup from the middle of the boiling soup, there will be no oil flowers and impurities, and the soup will be particularly clear.
Once in a bowl, sprinkle with chopped garlic sprouts and coriander, and the flavor will rise to a new level.
On a cold day, a plate of mutton, a bowl of hot soup, and a cake can be regarded as a delicious meal!
Tips
First, when buying mutton, don't buy too fat, it's better to buy lean meat or pure lean meat.
Second, again, stewed mutton, salt, peppercorns, ginger slices, kaempfera, cumin these 5 seasonings are enough, just these few, the amount does not need to be particularly much, otherwise, the soup will become a very heavy seasoning, not delicious at all.
If you want to warm your stomach when it's cold, you can also go and bring your family a pot of delicious mutton soup!
