And if you don’t know what to choose with such an abundance, perhaps the most delicious and simple option would be a stew made from a mixture of various vegetables.

If you order a dish in a restaurant or canteen, then usually you are offered complex side dishes for meat, including combinations of ingredients of 3 or more. various products. Depending on the characteristics of your own taste and the proposed menu, these combinations can be very diverse. It is only important that these ingredients are combined to taste, complementing each other. But the color of the ingredients in a complex side dish should be contrasting. An example is a side dish of mashed potatoes and beetroot, as well as a side dish of stewed cabbage and mashed potatoes. An unsuccessful combination would be potatoes with boiled rice or vermicelli with buckwheat.

Here are some delicious and very harmonious complex vegetable side dishes for meat:

Choosing the “right” side dish for meat is a great scope for culinary experiments. It will decorate the main dish and make it more nutritious. Random combinations of products are not allowed here, since the wrong side dish so carefully cooked meat will only “spoil”. What are their unique combinations with lamb, pork, beef, chicken and rabbit?

Fatty pork, regardless of how it is cooked, harmonizes perfectly with sweet and sour side dishes. A juicy steak will “play” with a completely different flavor if you complement it with spicy sauerkraut, grilled pineapple and mango.

If you don’t want to spend time preparing delicious side dishes, serve buckwheat, any stews or mushrooms with meat. The only thing to avoid is pasta and potatoes. They also go well with pork to taste, but such a dinner will be very “heavy”. Whatever side dish you cook, be sure to complement it with spices, since the pork itself has a rather “plain” taste. It can be garlic, wasabi, marjoram, thyme, ginger.

And any pork dish can be supplemented sweet and sour sauce from berries. This is the best solution if you are in doubt about which gravy to serve the main course with. To prepare the sauce, sour berries are taken - cranberries, lingonberries, red currants. They can be complemented with fragrant cherries or raspberries.

Lamb: vegetables with "strong" spices

Lamb has a bright, rich taste. It is difficult to cook it, and even more difficult to choose the “right” side dish for the dish. Ideally, it should be as “expressive” as the lamb itself.

The easiest option is to serve vegetables with lamb. First of all, these are eggplants, red Bell pepper, onions and tomatoes. They can be stewed, baked in the oven or grilled. Garnish with your favorite spices and be sure to add garlic.

Rice, potatoes, buckwheat are pretty "simple" products for lamb. Against the background of the rich aroma of meat, these side dishes will simply be lost. But if you decide to cook them today, be sure to supplement the recipe with “strong” spices - barberry, cumin, marjoram, black or white pepper, cilantro. It is not for nothing that in the process of preparing a “real” pilaf, a whole set of seasonings is added to its composition along with lamb to enhance the taste of the finished dish.

Experienced chefs do not advise serving cold salads with lamb. Fat in meat hardens already at 40 ° C. Eating lamb that has already cooled down cold snack- this is not only tasteless, but also harmful to digestion.

Beef: side dishes with a delicate, mild flavor

The taste of beef is very tender, delicate, unobtrusive. The garnish recipe should be exactly the same - not spicy, not sour, not very salty! Saturated aromas simply kill the taste of beef.

Combine meat with vegetables. It can be corn, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. They can be fried on a home grill or open fire. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle provencal herbs- it will be delicious. If you try to keep low-calorie food, serve stewed spinach with tofu or asparagus with meat. Delicate mashed potatoes or squash on cream are also suitable.

Sauce for beef can not be served separately. Stew the side dish in it to make it more juicy. Cooks are advised to give preference to soft creamy sauces with a light, slightly spicy aroma. In particular, this can be done with mushrooms, which will be an excellent side dish for beef. First, fry mushrooms or mushrooms with onions, add cream or sour cream, spices and spices to taste, sweat a little under closed lid. The finished side dish can be sprinkled with any fresh herbs and immediately served with meat.

Poultry meat cannot be called too expressive. Therefore, chicken and turkey can be safely supplemented with side dishes with various spices and spices. This is a "universal" meat, it is served with any vegetables and cereals.

But at least for a while forget about the “classic of the genre - mashed potatoes. Choose more original side dishes. It could be green beans fried with garlic and topped with sour cream sauce. Best combined with chicken and turkey stew of sweet peppers, zucchini and tomatoes. If you want to cook a more satisfying dinner, serve with meat stewed beans, mushrooms or fragrant rice.

A meat dish with a side dish can be supplemented with sauce. Let it be based on sour berries sweetened with honey. Also creamy and cheese sauces. Often poultry meat is supplemented with apple sauce - it is sweet and sour fruit puree with butter, balsamic vinegar, black pepper, cardamom and cloves.

Rabbit: vegetable and cereal side dishes with a delicate taste

For tender rabbit meat, it is better to choose the same side dishes as for beef - with a delicate, mild taste. The sauces that you put on the table should also be "unobtrusive". Their purpose is to highlight refined taste meat.

The best vegetables for rabbit meat are sweet peppers, White cabbage, tomatoes. But don't limit your menu to just these foods. cook vegetable stew, combining coarsely chopped carrots, bell pepper and broccoli. The side dish will “play” with taste and aroma if you season it with soy sauce and Provence herbs. You can also roast Brussels sprouts - cut them in half and sprinkle allspice with thyme. Marinating rabbit in spicy spices to give the meat a richer flavor? Then complement the hot dish with a side dish of beets. To do this, grate the vegetables coarsely, sprinkle lemon juice and wine vinegar, stew, and when serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely chopped fresh herbs. Whatever vegetable recipes you choose, they can be cooked separately or baked directly with a hot dish. If you prefer to cook cereals for meat, supplement the rabbit with boiled rice mixed with green peas and corn grains. Buckwheat, wheat and millet porridge are also suitable.
