Tasty Facts
– When cooking salad, the intensity of stirring matters: if the salad is constantly stirred, porridge can turn out. In order to get a not boiled salad, and the pieces of vegetables remain intact, it is necessary to stir very carefully, with a regularity of a maximum of 10 minutes. – When cooking salad in a slow cooker , it is necessary to quickly cook the salad in the “Baking” mode for 45 minutes, in a slow way in the “Stew” mode for 1 hour.
– The name of the salad – “Ten” – is justified by the amount of each of the main vegetables that make up the salad.
– For the preparation of the Ten salad, a cauldron or a thick-walled pan is most suitable.
– To taste, you can add coriander, cilantro and oregano to the salad. It is not recommended to add black pepper, as eggplants create a sharp taste of the salad.
– In order for the “Ten” salad to acquire density, you can add 3-4 tablespoons of dense tomato paste when cooking. And for greater sweetness, it is recommended to add 3-5 pieces of medium-sized carrots to the Ten salad. To add both sweetness and density without increasing the volume, you can add sugar (100 grams per recipe). Zucchini can be added to the salad, but their delicate taste in the salad will not be pronounced and will be lost behind the taste of eggplant and pepper.
– If the Ten salad turned out to be liquid during cooking due to the juiciness and variety of tomatoes, it is recommended to boil the salad for another 10-20 minutes.
– The taste of the Ten salad resembles the taste of eggplant caviar , but less fat and sweeter due to sweet peppers and tomatoes.
