With each new holiday I learn more and more new dishes. Of course, this primarily applies to snacks. New and new ones appear.
So, recently I was treated to a salad “ Man's whim", It was prepared by classic recipe based on beef and. Well, my dears, this is not just an appetizer, this is a whole second course! It is very nutritious and really inspired all the men at the table right away.
The most interesting thing is that almost all the ingredients are rather bland, unusual and all flavor combination there is attached only to pickled onions. However, it turns out very tasty. And, most importantly, nutritious.
And of course, for the most part, everyone liked him, because main ingredient there is meat.
I started looking for recipes for this appetizer and it turned out that "Men's Caprice" has many variations. Tomatoes and apples are added to it with mushrooms. Therefore, before you is a selection of 8 recipes, among them you will definitely find the one you need!
Of course, let's start with original recipe... The one that was put in the basis of the salad, and then we move on to its variations. Look at the composition of the foods: they all contain a lot of protein and a minimum of carbohydrates. Therefore, the feeling of satiety will be felt for a very long time.
The classic meat for this snack is beef. You can use any part of it, including the tongue and heart.
But the cheeses that I send to salads, I prefer to take those that are saltier.
Let's take:
Marinade for onions:
We always start with the main ingredient. We have beef. It needs to be boiled until tender.
Cooking times can vary greatly. If you have a young calf, then it will cook in 40 minutes, but if the older ones get together, then you need to cook the meat for at least an hour.
We take a piece of beef, put it in the cold salt water and bring to a boil.
Add black pepper and lavrushka to the water. At the moment of boiling, a lot of foam will appear on the surface. We need to remove it, of course. Then we reduce the heat and cook for 50-60 minutes. You can boil it a little longer. Then we take out a piece, cool it and cut it into small pieces. You can also fiber the meat with your hands or a fork.
Now let's get down to another important component of the salad. We need to pickle onions. This is done very quickly.
Cut the heads into cubes. Put the pieces in a bowl and pour salt, sugar and vinegar into it. Fill all this with boiling water. We leave for 15-20 minutes.
Boil the eggs, cool and grind them as you like. Transfer to a separate bowl.
Cheese hard varieties cool so that it is easier to rub, and grind on the coarse side of the grater.
Chop walnuts a little. You can chop them with a knife, grind them in a coffee grinder or blender.
That's all the preparation! It remains only to collect our salad. To do this, take a flat plate and choose a shape. If you don't have a special one for salad, then use a biscuit ring. A mold diameter of 20 cm is sufficient.
We lay out the ingredients in layers. Divide them in half to make two repetitions of the layers.
The first row is covered with beef.
Second row: onions (marinade must be drained).
Cover these two rows with mayonnaise.
Place the cheese in the fourth row.
The fifth row we have are walnuts.
We saturate them with mayonnaise.
Repeat all layers one more time until all products are finished.
We decorate the top walnuts... We put in the refrigerator for 1 hour so that the mayonnaise sauce saturates all the rows.
Then we take out and remove the form.
So now let's step back a little from original recipe and prepare the same salad, but already for chicken meat... The rest of the composition is almost the same.
Let's take:
Fill the eggs cold water and boil for 8 minutes after boiling. To make them easy to clean, immediately add 1 tablespoon to the water. salt.
V cold water put the chicken breast, salt it a little and put it on high heat. When boiling, remove all the foam and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for another 25 minutes.
We clean the onion, cut it into pieces and put it in a cup. Pour sugar to it and pour Apple vinegar... Now pour boiling water on top. We forget about him for 20 minutes.
Three cheese on the shallow side of the grater.
The chicken breast is boiled, it is soft and easily separates into fibers. We cut it into pieces.
Cool the boiled eggs, peel and chop finely or three.
All products are ready, we proceed to the formation of the salad.
Put the pickled onions in the first layer.
Second row: pieces of chicken breast.
The third row consists of mayonnaise.
We spread the fourth row with eggs.
Spread cheese on top of the whole salad.
Decorate with herbs if desired.
In this version, the salad is even more satisfying than the top recipes. Because we will also add fried mushrooms to it.
Let's take:
Boil and cool the veal in advance. Boil and clean the eggs.
Now we cut the mushrooms into slices.
Add to the pan vegetable oil, heat and fry the mushrooms for 4 minutes.
Chop the onion finely and send it to the mushrooms. We fry for another 5 minutes.
Chop the parsley finely.
Grate a piece of cheese. After that, rub the boiled eggs.
Cut the veal into pieces or divide it into fibers.
We collect the salad. On request, you can use a removable mold of any diameter.
We form the first layer from mushrooms and onions.
We spread the veal on them.
Saturate with mayonnaise.
Then a layer of eggs, saturate and add cheese.
Mayonnaise and parsley again for garnish.
We remove the form.
This version of "Man's Caprice" is very different from the previous ones. We will do it without mayonnaise at all. Add to the meat Korean carrots and . It turns out to be a hearty and savory snack.
Let's take:
Since we have already boiled the beef in salted water, we cut it into cubes or strips.
We wash and clean the pepper. Cut into slices. Drain the liquid from the beans and corn.
Now we take a deep salad bowl and mix all the ingredients in it.
Refuel sunflower oil... And we bear to try our men. This appetizer goes very well with mashed potatoes.
Beef is a little dry, not everyone likes it in salads. Therefore, there was another variation of the "Man's whim" - with ham. Of course, she has a more pronounced taste and is still loved by men.
Let's take:
So, let's pre-prepare all our products. Boil the chicken breast. We do not pour out the broth, but prepare on its basis. Cook the potato tuber separately. And we will also cook hard-boiled eggs separately.
Cut all the ingredients into small pieces. Lay out in layers.
If desired, cut the tomato into slices and lay them in the form of a flower on the surface of the snack.
Smoked chicken can also be an option to replace beef. The taste will change immediately. And the apple will add freshness and sour notes to the appetizer.
Let's take:
Cut the onion into half rings and fry it on vegetable oil until soft and golden.
Peel the apples and cut the pulp into thin strips.
First, freeze the processed cheese to make it easier to grate. It can be replaced with any cheese.
Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips.
WITH canned mushrooms drain the liquid and cut each piece in half.
Boil eggs hard-boiled, cool and clean.
Preparing a beautiful flat dish and form layers. Each of which is well saturated with mayonnaise.
Let the appetizer brew for at least an hour.
This recipe is very similar to the original one with beef. But you can also add tomatoes to it for juiciness. Believe me, it turns out delicious.
For convenience, I attach a video recipe.
Of course, all the zest of the salad is made not only by tomatoes, but also by pickled onions. Therefore, try not to deviate from the recipe.
Well, since the main ingredient of this salad is meat, then let's make it based on pork. Yet it is softer and more juicy compared to beef.
Let's take:
Cooking the marinade. We clean the onion and chop it finely. Add salt and lemon juice to it.
If lemon seeds got to him, then we get them.
We mince the mass with onions and leave for 20 minutes to marinate.
We boiled the meat in advance and cut it into cubes.
Grate eggs and cheese on a coarse grater.
Drain the liquid from the onion. And now we have all the ingredients ready, you can start assembling the layers.
