What has not been tried in the modern world. And in what products did they not find useful properties.

Pork ears are among such foods, the use of which will strengthen your physical health, namely, increase the strength of bones and joints.

Preliminary preparations

In order to start preparing any dish from such an unusual product, this very product must first be washed and cleaned. Sometimes you can get already singed, clean and smooth ears, but if not, then you have to work a little. Hair vegetation of the ears should be singed, shaved off or pulled out. Then you need to get rid of the small ear, since it is in this that the main dirt and grease is contained.

As a rule, dishes from pork ears require preliminary cooking of these very ears. To do this, they must be placed in a saucepan filled with water so that the ears are completely in the liquid, bring to a boil and cook for 2 - 3 hours, regularly removing the resulting foam. About half an hour before the end of cooking, the ears should be salted and seasonings should be added to taste, for example, a few bay leaves, a little clove and peppercorns, which will emphasize the taste of the dish. Finished pork ears should be soft and flavorful.

Tastes of the peoples of the world

Further preparation of the ears depends only on your taste. For example, the Korean people prefer pickled ears. To prepare them, cooked, chilled and cut into strips ears are marinated for 24 hours in sauce in glass jars, tightly closed with a lid. For the sauce, chop bay leaf and garlic, add seasoning to Korean carrots, apple and wine vinegar and dilute everything with vegetable oil.

The French prefer to use the Béchamel sauce for making exquisite ears: melt about 40-50 g of butter, mix with the same amount of flour and pour a glass of milk into the mixture. The resulting sauce is poured over the pre-cooked ears, laid out on a baking sheet, and sprinkled with cheese on top.

Among the Slavic peoples, it is customary to combine pork ears with sauerkraut, beer or vodka, hence the names of the dishes "Pork ears for beer" and salad "Under vodka". Sauerkraut gives the ears an unusual sourness. To do this, wash the cabbage with cold water, squeeze it well, mix with the ears cut into strips in a preheated pan and lightly fry.

Crispy toasted pork ears will serve as an excellent beer snack. To do this, put ears, gloves, salt, season to taste in a pan with heated vegetable oil, add garlic and fry until a beautiful golden crust appears. The cooled ears are laid out on a dish and sprinkled with breadcrumbs.

An excellent and original appetizer with vodka on your table will be a salad prepared with a certain Korean accent. For its preparation, marinated pork ears, which are loved by Koreans, and fresh cucumber and bell pepper, which are widespread in Slavic countries, cut into small pieces, are used. All ingredients are seasoned with mayonnaise, and Korean carrots combined with sesame seeds and herbs will give an unforgettable taste to this dish.
