squid

Squid are marine mollusks, They belong to cephalopods decapods. As testified by the categories grouping, they have 10 apron (tentacles) on the head, around the mouth. the 2 of them are longer than the other, and all have suckers. Squid have no skeleton, except a transparent and flexible limestone formation (pen – pen).

The squid is especially popular in some kitchens, particularly in Europe, China and Korea. Besides the pen, the eyes, offal and muzzle, all the rest are edible, even the bag with the ink very often used in cooking.

Squid cleaned as follows: pull the head from the body. Together with the head will go out and offal. If we remove the giblets bag with ink and keep the, while a knife cut his head and throw away the rest offal. We make carefully a small crack between the eyes and remove (if not careful and break, pops ink and dirty). Also among the tentacles remove the muzzle is hard. From inside the body remove the pen (It starts from the body part having a small peak and ends at the other end, the fins) and whatever remains of the viscera may have been left inside. And also remove the outer membrane covering squid. Wash bodies and tentacles and let drain.

How Becomes The Best Spaghetti;

Buy branded pasta, good quality. It is not necessary to be advertised, we can try the products of our region and to arrive at qualitative.

Pasta boil in large saucepan with plenty of water, to have the necessary space and do not stick together. For pound spaghetti, it is advisable to use at least pot 6 liter water, at least 4 liters.

Salt water well, before putting the pasta. counting 1 tablespoon of salt per liter of water.

Add the pasta to the pot, after the water boil well. If not boil well, adding pasta the temperature drops even further and risk lasposoun and sticking.

We fire the eye in the most possible to quickly xanavrasei water.

Most pasta boiled in 8 – 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix 2 – 3 times. This helps to avoid sticking together. Is important, the first shuffling become just xanavrasei water, at the beginning of cooking.

We do not add oil to the water boiling pasta, because he may not leave the sauce to stick with over pasta.

If we plan to add the pasta to the sauce and cook them for 1 – 2 minutes with it, then you need to download it from the fire 1 – 2 minutes prior to complete their cooking time.

Never rinse the pasta when the drain. Laundering has starch and taste deteriorates. Also it is advisable not to dry them completely from the water, it is advisable to keep much of their moisture when added to the sauce.

Cleaning snails ( snails )

A) Way) We take as much as snails we calculate for the food you will cook.
Put them in a bowl with plenty of cold water, and cover with an empty plate.
We do this, because after some time the snails with moisture will enliven some!
We then leave about half an hour.
Then put them in clean water and rub quite some between our palms, thus leaving partly dirt.
We put in the pot snails, cover them with a little water , and boil them 1 minute.
We xanavgazoume and pour into the cold nero.Ekei takes a one and a knife sharpened, We clean them whatever is left over in their shells.
Rinse them with water enough and are ready to cook them any way we want.

YG.Se this stage if we want to put them in a bag and freeze them.

So, because it has enough hubbub cleanse, worthwhile to do quite a few and get ready when we need them.

B)Way
