All dishes of oriental cuisine are rich in richness and contain a lot of spices and incredible taste. In addition, they are quite simple to prepare and consist of readily available products. I would like to invite you to prepare one of them, but departing a little from traditional recipe. This will be turkey basics. Such meat is considered more dietary and tender, and has virtually no effect on the taste of the finished dish. This is my husband’s favorite dish, and my husband’s grandmother, who was a purebred Tatar, taught me how to cook it. I slightly modified the recipe to suit myself, but my husband and friends say that my basics remain just as tasty.
Turkey azu in a frying pan
List of required ingredients:
Kitchenware: frying pan, cutting board.
Cooking procedure
- First of all, let's prepare everything we need for cooking. Namely, we will wash and peel the vegetables, and if necessary, we will separate the turkey flesh from the bone.
- Cut the onions in half and chop into half rings.
- Divide the carrots lengthwise into several parts and cut them diagonally into strips.
- We also cut the potatoes into long strips of medium thickness.
- Cucumbers, like carrots, are not cut into thick strips.
- Cut the meat into cubes one centimeter thick and about four centimeters long.
- Heat up the frying pan. Pour a little vegetable oil and put a small piece of butter. The most delicious basics are made with ghee.
- When the oil is well heated, lay out the meat and fry it on all sides for 5-10 minutes. The hotter the oil is, the faster a crust will form on the meat, which will clog the pores and help retain the juice.
- Remove the meat from the pan, leaving the fat and meat juice on it.
- Place the onion in the pan and add sugar. If necessary, add oil. Stir and fry the onion until transparent, and then add the carrots and continue frying everything together.
- Add tomato paste to the pan with the vegetables, instead of which you can use any tomato sauce or even fresh tomatoes. They need to be dipped in boiling water for a couple of minutes. This will make it easy to remove the skin and then cut the peeled tomatoes into small cubes.
- Pour broth or water into the pan and add salt and spices. For seasonings, I like hops-suneli and paprika. You can add red or black ground pepper. Delicious basics are obtained with the addition of dried barberry. Add cucumbers, mix all the contents and simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
- After this, add the meat, mix, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- While the meat is cooking, pour oil into a separate frying pan and heat it well. Place the potatoes and quickly fry on all sides. Transfer the potatoes to the meat with gravy and simmer covered for another 10-15 minutes.
- At the very end, add chopped garlic and half of the chopped herbs. Stir and turn off.
- Azu will taste better if you let it brew a little and sprinkle with the remaining herbs before serving.
