For many years, French meat has been a familiar dish for Russians, which has long ceased to be exotic. Unfortunately, it is impossible to cook it in a frying pan; this requires an oven, which is not available in every kitchen. But a multicooker, which is also called a "magic pot", can help housewives in this.
Cooking the ingredients of the dish
For 4 servings of French meat, you will need the following products: 500-600 grams of lean pork, 3-4 medium-sized potatoes, one onion, sour cream or yogurt (it is better not to take mayonnaise), a couple of tablespoons of sunflower oil, herbs, salt and other spices optional. You can also add mushrooms and cheese to the classic recipe, but these are already variations of cooking meat in French, making it more nutritious.
To prepare the ingredients, it is necessary to cut the pork into small cubes or cubes, it is better not to cook the whole piece, since the dish will not be so tender. Potatoes look best in this dish cut into slices, and onions - in half rings. If you prefer it over white vegetables, do not ignore the red onion variety, as the sweetness of the red onion will add a special piquancy to the dish.
After that, you need to chop the greens very finely. For French meat, parsley, onions and basil are commonly used. Moreover, the French themselves consider the first very tough and not tender, so it is not just chopped, but literally crushed (a blender will do).
Putting ingredients in a multicooker and cooking them
Then you need to pour some oil on the bottom of the multicooker container. Just a little, since in the process of cooking pork will actively release its own fat. First, onion is laid out on the butter, then half of the meat, which is salted, then half of the potatoes, herbs and sour cream. After that, the ingredients are salted and peeled.
Then comes the "turn" of the second half of the potatoes, which is better to grease with sauce again so that the vegetables do not become dry during cooking. The potatoes are already followed by meat, the remaining herbs, onions, sour cream again and again salt and pepper. If you want to add some other seasonings, herbs to the dish, it is better to do so at this stage.
If you want to add mushrooms and cheese to meat in French, it is best to "stack" them as follows: mushrooms for meat, and cheese for potatoes.
This dish is prepared in a multicooker rather quickly - only 20-25 minutes, and it is absolutely no different from one cooked in the oven or oven in terms of taste and aroma. Readiness is best determined by the tenderness of the meat, although it is believed that if the potatoes have become soft, then the meat is already "ripe". This dish will amaze you with its attractive appearance even at the stage of opening the lid of the multicooker, and then on the plate will surprise you with a very delicate taste!
