Wet Brine for Poultry
Brines use salt to break down the proteins in the meat so that it can absorb moisture and hold on it. After the salt breaks down the proteins, the proteins won’t contract while cooking, meaning less moisture is expelled in the roasting process. Quantity of the water is not so important, just make sure your meat is fully submerged. However it’s very critical to have right saltines of solution which should be around 5%. Most commonly I brine meat like turkey breasts as it tends to get very dry while cooking. Benefits are so great that if you have time, I would definitely recommend do this process for any poultry meat or whole birds. If you are aiming at crispier texture (chicken skin) it’s recommended to use dry brine instead where more moisture is expelled from the meat.
Spagetti Carbonara
Let’s be honest, Spagetti Carbonara is hard recipe but it’s totally worth to learn it. This recipe is respecting the original procedure so no cream, there is no discussion about this! Same applies to cheese, originally it’s done with Pecorino Romano which is sheep cheese, can be done with other types like Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano but it changes the taste of the dish significantly. Garlic is also not supposed to be in the original version, however even some high profile Italian chefs are using garlic in their recipe, it gives more complexity to the dish, i prefer it too.
Burger Patty Seasoning
This is very simple seasoning recipe for the burger patty, no matter what burger are you going to cook, beef or pork, smashed or thick. The best meat is always freshly ground. Always choose a fattier meat such as beef or pork shoulder or neck. I personally prefer a “smashed” burger. Smashing the meat ensures perfect contact with the griddle surface and browns the meat to perfection.
