Selection and preparation of ingredients
To make the dish delicious and consistent with the recipe, you need to properly prepare and choose the ingredients.
Did you know? Leonardo da Vinci used walnut oil to make paints.
When buying a walnut, consider the following rules:
- the fruit must be whole, along with the shell. If the nuts are peeled, then they lose some of their beneficial properties, and bacteria develop on the surface;
- lack of unpleasant odors;
- shell density. The stronger it is, the more likely it is that the fruit inside is not dry.
When buying a chicken, carefully inspect its color and aroma. Fillet should not be too bright or pale. Choose those pieces of meat that have a natural smell.
The preparation of the ingredients consists in washing them thoroughly under running water. After this, the mushrooms must be peeled, and the nuts heated in the oven for 20 minutes (at a temperature of 180 ° C).
When choosing mushrooms, choose only those that have a plain surface (no spots). Their smell should not be sharp.
