On the holiday table vegetable snacks must be required. After all, they not only satisfy severe hunger, but activate the appetite and prepare the body for eating. original eggplant appetizer counts royal dish.

An eggplant fan looks very beautiful and unusual on the table, the recipe of which is also on the site

For the preparation of cold dishes and snacks from vegetables and mushrooms, fresh, boiled, salted and pickled vegetables, mushrooms and herbs are used. The preparation of cold dishes begins with the preparation of side dishes, dressings, sauces. For side dishes use boiled vegetables (potatoes, beets, carrots, cauliflower, green pea, beans, green beans, asparagus), as well as raw (salads, parsley, green onions, cucumbers, tomatoes), mushrooms, fruits.

Vegetables are cut according to the culinary purpose. Proper slicing gives dishes beautiful view and ensures simultaneous cooking of vegetables different types during their joint heat treatment. For chopping, vegetable cutting machines with replaceable knife discs are used, which cut potatoes and root crops into circles, cubes, sticks, plates and straws.

In the vegetable workshops, enterprises allocate lines or sections for the processing of potatoes and root crops, greens, onions, cabbage and other vegetables.

For the preparation of good-quality food, it is necessary to ensure the correct technological processing of products. An important sanitary requirement for the technological processing of products is the observance of the flow of the production process when processing raw materials. In the process of culinary processing of products, such conditions should be created that not only protect them from microbial contamination, but also contribute to the maximum preservation of the nutritional and biological value of products, lead to a significant increase in the taste of prepared dishes and the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms, larvae and eggs of helminths that were in raw materials.

How vegetables are processed has a significant impact on nutrient retention. For example, mechanical processing methods can cause rather deep chemical changes in products. When cleaning and grinding, the surface is damaged, contact with atmospheric oxygen is facilitated, and enzymatic processes are accelerated, which lead to the browning of potatoes, mushrooms, apples, and the oxidation of vitamins. Washing removes not only contaminants, but also some of the soluble nutrients.

When sorting, products of inadequate quality and mechanical impurities are removed.

During the heat treatment of vegetables, deep physico-chemical changes occur. Some of them play a positive role (softening vegetables, starch gelatinization, etc.), improve appearance dishes (education golden brown when frying potatoes); other processes reduce nutritional value(loss of vitamins, minerals, etc.) cause discoloration, etc.

Pigments (coloring substances) determine the different colors of vegetables. When cooked, the color of many vegetables changes.

During heat treatment, vitamins undergo significant changes. Large losses of vitamin C occur when foods are subjected to repeated heat exposure.

To reduce losses during cooking, vegetables are boiled in water or steamed.
