That's how it gets taste.

Ten cooking techniques, step by step, with solutions for aqueous dips, lumps and crazy sauces.

Leak Yogurt and cucumber

A thick dip starts before mixing.

That's how you do it.

Place a sieve with a clean cloth above a bowl; leave yogurt covered in the refrigerator. Rasp cucumber separately, squeeze firmly and mix only afterwards. Add acid and oil in little bits.

If things go differently

Too thin? Let the loose ingredients leak for longer. An already mixed dip can correct with extra thick yoghurt, but also thins the taste.

Gently roasting eggplant

Soft flesh is more important than an exact clock time.

That's how you do it.

Insert the eggplant, grate at 220 °C and check from about 35 minutes. Allow to cool enough to handle. Create, let leak and chop or crush.

If things go differently

Bitter or watery? Check the yarn, drain and taste before adding a lot of lemon or garlic.

Mixing oil and lemon

A dressing doesn't have to be permanently bound.

That's how you do it.

Beat lemon juice with a pinch of salt. Add oil gradually while knocking, or shake everything in a well-sealed pot. Shake again just before use.

If things go differently

Separating the layers? That's normal with ladolemono; remixing helps.

Temper egg lemon sauce

Gradually bring eggs to temperature.

That's how you do it.

Beat pasteurized eggs with lemon. Add warm broth spoon for spoon while beating. Then heat softly and keep stirring; avoid cooking.

If things go differently

Flakes? Temperature was too high or rising too fast. Take from the fire. A crazy sauce is hard to fully repair.

Dip cream sauce or tomato sauce

Less water usually means a more concentrated taste.

That's how you do it.

Leave without a lid to boil and stir regularly. Do not taste until the end on salt. For the cold pepper cream you use thick dairy and cooling time instead of boiling.

If things go differently

Too thick? Add a spoon of appropriate moisture. Too salty by boiling? Verdun met unsalted base.

Making a smooth corn sauce

Solve starch cold first.

That's how you do it.

Smooth with some of the cold milk. Add the rest, heat stirring and let boil briefly according to the recipe. Add cheese from the fire.

If things go differently

A cold slurry helps prevent them. Strain a sauce with small lumps and check the thickness again.

Keep potato dip light

A pestle gives control over the structure.

That's how you do it.

Cook potatoes cooked, pour and let evaporate briefly. Stamp and mix the garlic, vinegar and oil gradually. Do not use a powerful blender for the mashed potatoes.

If things go differently

Tempering? Too intensive mixing can change the texture. Stop mixing; next time stomping.

Build Taste in Layers

Taste temperature, acid, salt and aroma separately.

That's how you do it.

First make the base. Add acid in little bits, then salt and aroma. Let a cold dip rest briefly and taste again on serving temperature.

If things go differently

Too spicy? Extra raw base can soften, but changes the ratio. Do not add any sweetener as standard solution.

Process Feta into a creamy dip

Start with little fluid.

That's how you do it.

Crumble feta and add a little yogurt. Pour or mix briefly. Add leaked pepper or oil only gradually. Taste the salt of the cheese before extra salt.

If things go differently

Too liquid? Add extra feta or use less moisture; there is no universal fixed ratio.

Preparing a cold sauce

Resttime is part of the preparation.

That's how you do it.

Mix with clean utensils, cover and put in the fridge. When serving, create a small amount in a separate bowl and keep the rest refrigerated.

If things go differently

Keep according to the shelf life of the products used; a prescription without product information does not provide an exact storage warranty.
