Classic French roasted pork recipe

Many people believe that the classic French meat recipe consists of two main ingredients - meat and potatoes. I believe this is not the case. There are no potatoes in this classic dish. For juiciness, place a slice of tomato and onion on a piece of meat. And, of course, you can’t do without cheese! I offer you this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 600 grams pork tenderloin
• salt to taste
• 2 medium sized onions
• crushed pepper to taste
• 200 grams of hard cheese
• 4 medium sized tomatoes
• mayonnaise to taste
• homemade mustard to taste

Preparation:

1. The meat must be fresh. If you have a frozen piece, you need to completely defrost it, wash and dry it. Cut it into thin layers. Wrap in film. Beat with a hammer until soft.

2. Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides. If desired, you can add your favorite seasonings to the meat. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil.

3. Lubricate each piece with table mustard. Peel the onion and cut it into rings or half rings. Sprinkle on top.

4. Wash the tomatoes and dry them. We cut off the seal from the growth of the stalk. Cut them into thin slices. Place on top of the onion and meat. Coat with mayonnaise. The thicker the layer of mayonnaise, the juicier the meat will be.

5. Three cheese graters. Sprinkle it on top of the dish with a generous cap. Heat the oven to 180 degrees. We send the form here for about half an hour.

When the meat is cooked, it will release a lot of juices into the pan. It's better to wait until it sits outside the oven for a while. Then the dish will absorb all the juices back into itself.

How to cook chicken legs in French:

• Let's start by frying the onions. We will fry the onions in a mixture of sunflower oil and butter. But at the very beginning, add only sunflower oil to the pan. Cut the onion into four parts and place in a frying pan.

• Take out the chicken pieces and place them on paper kitchen towels. We get wet.

The chicken legs are also ready. Serve them with sauce and side dish. Can also be served with a savory tomato and onion appetizer.

Chicken in French: what is the secret to the success of the dish

Answering the question posed in the title of this section, we can safely say: success lies in proper preparation and selection of quality ingredients for the dish. In a word, in order to get a tasty, appetizing and satisfying treat, you need to remember a few secrets that will decide the fate of your meat snack.

Secret No. 1: choose country chicken

Country chicken is best suited for preparing a gourmet dish. It is a product of natural origin, which means it has a wonderful delicate taste, does not pose a health hazard and, moreover, bakes quite quickly, which cannot be said about broiler.

In addition to the fact that broiler chicken is unhealthy and its taste is much worse than poultry, it also takes longer to cook. To bring the broiler to full readiness, and even more so to give it a golden brown crust, you will first have to fry the bird in a frying pan and then bake it in the oven. This will take an order of magnitude more time.

Secret No. 2: juiciness depends on the onion

The more onions in your dish, the juicier the French chicken will turn out. And if you want, in addition to juiciness, the appetizer to also be piquant, then you can marinate the onions in advance.

Secret #3: Use Spices

Spices always give a dish a special taste. Only in rare cases are they inappropriate and even superfluous, but not in preparing French chicken. To improve its taste and aroma, the use of spices is mandatory.

Best suited for a “French” snack:

• paprika;
• black pepper;
• marjoram;
• oregano;
• nutmeg.

You can season with such aromas not only chicken meat (fillet, breast, chicken thighs or minced chicken, from which meat is sometimes prepared in French), but also its accompanying ingredients - cheese, mushrooms, potatoes, etc.

That's all the secrets to successfully preparing your favorite dish. If you are still looking for an interesting and uncomplicated appetizer, then our advice is to buy (your choice) chicken breast or fillet and prepare a delicious dish called “French chicken.”

On the Internet you can find 1000 options for cooking chicken, but we are pleased to offer you the simplest recipe for preparing this bird - French Chicken

! Tender meat, crispy cheese crust and mind-blowing aroma will delight you!

French meat recipe with minced meat and tomatoes

Minced meat, unlike pieces of meat, cooks much faster. And dishes made from it are very popular. Today I suggest you make French-style meat with minced meat and potatoes. A quick dish, but very tasty.

Ingredients:

• half a kilo of any minced meat (for example, mixed pork + beef)
• 1 medium sized onion
• 50 grams of cheese
• salt, ground pepper, basil to taste
• 50 grams of mayonnaise
• medium tomato

Preparation:

1. It is better to cook minced meat immediately before preparing this dish. If you only use beef, it will turn out a little dry. Therefore, you can add a little water to make it juicier. Add salt to taste.

2. Line the baking dish with a silicone mat or other baking coating. We form the minced meat into cutlets, about 1 centimeter thick. Half a kilo makes about 4 servings. Season the top to taste.

3. Lubricate each piece with mayonnaise. Cut the onion into strips or cubes. Sprinkle on top. Even if the minced meat already contains onions, do not neglect to add it on top. After all, there is never too much onion in meat. Place tomato slices on top.

4. We also grease the top with mayonnaise. Heat the oven at 180 degrees. Place the baking sheet with meat here for 20 minutes. Then sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes.

3. To prepare the marinade, take mayonnaise, mix it with chopped garlic cloves, add salt and pepper.
4. Divide the chicken loin into nice medium pieces and beat with a hammer on both sides.
5. Grease a baking tray or other large fireproof pan with oil.
6. Place the meat chops in the bottom layer, grease them generously with mayonnaise sauce, spread the onions evenly, top with tomato slices and sprinkle with grated cheese on top.

French beef, baked in the oven

Do you need to prepare something urgently? To make it satisfying, tasty and quick to prepare? If you have a good piece of beef tenderloin, a couple of onions, a piece of cheese and mayonnaise, your problem will be solved in a few minutes. However, you can use not only beef. The main thing is that the meat is good, fresh, and not too stringy. Possibly with layers of fat.

So let's cook together.

Ingredients:

• 500 grams beef tenderloin
• 1-2 medium sized onions
• salt, ground pepper to taste
• 300 grams of cheese
• mayonnaise

Preparation:

1. Cut the meat into small portions, about a centimeter thick. We put them on the table and cover them with a bag. We beat off on one side. Then we turn it over and beat it through the bag again.

If you used previously frozen meat, then by the time you beat it, it should be completely defrosted!

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Season each piece with salt on both sides. Place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a little pepper on top.

3. Cut the onion into small cubes. If desired, you can cut it into rings or strips. It doesn't matter. Place it on each slice of meat. Coat the top with a layer of mayonnaise.

4. Heat the oven at 180 degrees. Sprinkle each piece of beef with grated cheese. Place the pan in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

The meat releases its juices during baking. Therefore, after turning off the heat, let the dish stand for about 15 minutes. Then it will cool slightly and absorb its juices back.
