We all know that for some reason there are a lot of people that volunteer to be responsible for the grilling and barbecue at every event that has this option, and many times the barbecue is destroyed for a wide variety of reasons, the fire was too strong, the wind increased the fire, the meat was not right etc.
To know how to grill successfully is not about being an expert at all kind of meat grilling and fire building, it is simply keeping some very basic rules to the way you use the grill and some advice regarding the fire. You can produce some fantastic results even with a grill you buy at Home Depot using Home Depot coupons. Control of the fire is a basic rule you must keep if you want a better chance of eating a nicely grilled meat, and if fact it is the most difficult to keep, you need to be slow and conscience of what you are doing.
Most people discover that grilling takes much longer than they thought it would, this brings a lot of problems to the barbecue table, the person in charge of the barbecue gets hungry, people come to visit the grill and offer a lot of advice and tips and some people just visit to see how it is doing, because they start getting hungry. The best thing to do is know your plan, find out the time that the meat is expected to be ready, and start the fire 20 minutes ahead of time since increasing the fire is not a problem, but decreasing it might be a very big problem.
Have a little something to eat before you start, or throughout the cooking to keep you focused on the quality and not the time it take to cook, take the meat out from anything that keeps it cool about 30 minutes before you will load it on the grill, this will help the meat to cook ideally.
In most cases you would want the barbecue not to have any fire but only heat and at that point you need to decide if its warm enough, or needs more heat. To increase the heat you can simply blow into the fire or use something you can wave to make it grow, if you want to decrease the fire you can use a small amount of water to kill some extra warm places and reduce the heat, do not use a lot of water because if you do you run a very good chance of killing the fire altogether. If you are unsure about the heat you can place a small piece of meat and wait 10 minutes to see the effect.
Take the fat off the meat before you cook it, the fat can increase the fire when it starts to drip into the barbecue, and in some cases, if the fire is too strong it can result in the meat actually catching fire which is a catastrophe for the person who is about to eat that piece of meat. In any case, when cooking some kind of meat you never had cooked before you should always test the fire before you introduce all the meat to the grill, so start the grill ahead of time, test the meat for about 15 minutes and see if it’s the right heat for it.

Far too often people overlook the importance of using the proper tools when cooking fine meals. While there is nothing in the world that can quite compare to cooking with the finest and freshest of ingredients, these things can only be enhanced by making use of the perfect tools for the job at hand.
When it comes to pots and pans and skillets you should keep in mind that conductivity is of extreme importance. You should also select pots and pans that are made of a heavier gauge. This allows your pans to heat evenly avoiding hot spots, which can lead to food that may ‘stick’ to your pan or scorch during the cooking process. This means that simply stopping in at your local mass market retailer and purchasing any old set of pots and pans is probably not the best course of action for the best possible quality in your kitchen.
Kitchen knives are also important ingredients in the kitchens of today. If you plan to prepare many meals in your kitchen, then the quality of your knives is of the utmost importance. Your knives are an investment you shouldn’t have to make too often in your lifetime. For this reason, select a really good set and be prepared to make a sizeable investment in your knives. You will never understand, unless you’ve tried to prepare foods with knives of inferior quality, just how important it is to purchase good quality and well-balanced knives for your kitchen. You should also try the handles in your hand to see how comfortable they feel before purchasing a set of knives. If you do a lot of chopping and cutting during your meal preparation and cooking you will want to make sure that the knives you are using feel comfortable in your hands.
If you are like me and plan on cooking a great deal of meat then you should also invest in a jacquard. This useful tool helps not only when it comes to tenderizing rather rough and tumble cuts of meat but also pierces the surface so that rubs and marinades can penetrate for a more flavorful experience. This is by far one of my favorite kitchen gadgets and it isn’t a sizeable investment for the added value it provides to meals.
A good quality grater is another tool that no kitchen should be complete without. There are many who feel that with all the pre shredded cheese products on the market today this tool is obsolete but nothing could be further from the truth. First of all, pre grated and pre packaged cheese simply doesn’t touch the quality of flavor that freshly grated cheese provides. Second, cheese isn’t the only thing that these graters are useful for grating. Graters are excellent tools for grating citrus fruits, spices, garlic, chocolate, and even onions. If you do a good deal of baking in addition to your cooking you should not overlook the value of having a quality grater in your kitchen.
Of course there are many more cooking tools than I could possibly mention here. Those mentioned above simply happen to be among my personal favorites. There are all kinds of appliances that in my humble opinion no kitchen is truly complete without. In addition to these great appliances there are many tools that are simple matters of preference. Do you peel enough potatoes to warrant a special device for doing so or do you simply opt to purchase an ergonomically designed potato peeler and peel them by hand? There are no one size fits all answers when it comes to kitchen tools and many of us are often limited by serious budget constraints and restrictions. My best advice if this is the situation for you is to purchase the best possible quality you can afford and build from there. Even if it means replacing one pot or knife at a time until you can manage a complete set of superior quality cooking tools you will find it well worth the price you’ve paid in the long run.

*Or are Jewish.
Answer:
Answer by Rozmin
Almost any Russian food can be made in a vegetarian way, during fasting Russian Orthodox church requires that people don’t eat meat. These are all Russian or Ukrainian, I’ve tested them all and my Ukrainian boyfriend loves them.
Okroshka
This is a cold soup served in summer time. Even though to my American mind it sounded weird, I love it. This should serve about 4 people.
Chop 2-3 regular sized scallions (green onions), just the green part is best. Place them in a salad bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt, and mash them with a fork until you start to see juices leaving them. Slice in half 3 hard boiled eggs. Add the yellows to the bowl, set aside the whites. Add about 1 tsp nice mustard (not coarse grained) to the bowl. Mash the egg yolks with the mustard, mix with the onions. Set bowl aside. Chop into cubes (about .25″x.25″ big): about 1/3-1/5 of an English cucumber (the long thin ones), the whites from the eggs, 2 small baked/boiled potatoes (the yukon gold or similar type is best) or 1 med/large potato. The potato is usually peeled, but it’s up to you. Slice 5-10 radishes into thin circles. Add all these to the bowl and mix well. Now, chop up LOTS AND LOTS of herbs: a bit of mint, a lot of dill, a bit of parsley, people add other herbs they like as well. Seriously, a lot, like 1-2 handfuls of fresh stuff is what you should chop up. Add it to the bowl and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste. Here’s the fun part. You now fill the bowl with either kvass, or kefir, or if you don’t have anything else, unflavored sparkling water. If your kefir is very thick, you may need to thin it with water a little. The Turkish beverage Ayran also works well for this. If you use just sparking water (or if your kvass is a bit sour) you may need to add a couple teaspoons of sugar. The ratio of liquid to solids should be similar to that found in a bowl of cereal. The okroshka should be served with as much cream (like creme fraiche, sour cream also works) as you want, mixed in. Served as a 1st course.
Golubtsy
I usually make these with ground beef, but recently I tried it with lots of chopped mushrooms! The name means “doves”, but I’m not sure why it’s called that. (They are cabbage rolls, but can alternatively be made as stuffed bell peppers. Still called the same way, though.)
For the filling: Mix about 4 cups cooked rice with 1 large carrot (peeled and grated), 1 small onion (chopped finely), 1 tomato (chopped), lots of salt and pepper. Chop up about 6-8 medium sized mushrooms. Or you can use an equivalent amount of any kind of mushroom, or a mix. Sautee them in some butter and sunflower oil for a few minutes (until they look cooked). Mix them into the rice mixture.
For cabbage golubtsy: boil a head of cabbage until the leaves peel off easily and won’t snap when you bend them. They need to be soft enough to work with. I’ve heard that instead you can freeze a cabbage and then thaw it, but I haven’t tried it. Carefully peel off the leaves. Stuff each leaf with the mix, folding it like a little burrito. Layer them in a dutch oven as you go (or soup pot). When done, fill the pot with water about 2/3 of the way. Put a lid on it, bring to a soft boil and then simmer them for about 1.5 hours.
With bell peppers: These I do in the microwave! Cut the tops off of 6-10 peppers (depends on size), doesn’t matter which color. Take the insides out. Sprinkle the insides with salt and pepper. Stuff with mix. Replace the lids, and arrange the peppers, standing upright, in a shallow microwave safe casserole. Pour a 50-50 mix of tomato juice and water into the casserole, such that the bottom 1/4-1/3 of the peppers is covered. Cover the whole casserole with plastic wrap, microwave on high for 20 minutes. Remove carefully, it will be hot! In both cases this should be served with sour cream, and chopped dill & parsley. It can be served with the cooking liquid, too. Served as a main course. (2nd)
Borsch
This is THE Russian soup (although the origin is probably actually Ukrainian) in most people’s mind. The meat version has a nice beefy flavor, but certainly it can be made with vegetable broth instead.
Bring about 2 quarts of your favorite vegetable broth up to a boil in a soup pot (I use a 3 quart one for this). When it’s come to a low boil, add about 1/2 a small cabbage that’s been shredded. Let that boil (gently, rolling boil not necessary). Chop about 3 smallish potatoes (I like Yukon Gold or similar) into cubes about .5″x.5″. Peeled or not is fine. After the cabbage has been in for about 20 minutes, add the potatoes. Now, peel and shred 2 small beets or 1 large one. I’ve done this with uncooked ones and pre-cooked ones, both ways have been tasty. Shred 1 carrot. Sautee the beets in a mix of butter and sunflower oil. After they cook about 5 minutes (maybe 10 is required if you used fresh) add the carrot. Cook another 10 minutes or so. If you need to add a little broth from the pot so it doesn’t burn, feel free to do that (but you don’t want it to be too liquidy, you do want them to sautee). Now, add a tablespoon of tomato paste or a chopped tomato (or both if you like). Also add 1 tablespoon white vinegar mixed with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix it all that with the beets and carrots, let it cook another couple of minutes. Add the whole mixture to the soup pot, and let that cook together for about 5-10 minutes. Add salt as you need to, you can also add sugar and vinegar/lemon juice to adjust for sweetness and acidity. This should be served hot, with a huge dollop of sour cream, and chopped dill & parsley. You then mix it all together. It’s great! Some people also add olives (I’m not crazy about that) or prunes (I do like that). Other veggies can sometimes be added too (bell pepper sometimes). Served as a 1st course.
Pirozhki
These are different from Polish pierogies. They’re baked pastries.
Filling: grate about 3 carrots, and chop 2 medium onions. Sautee together, add salt to taste and LOTS of ground black pepper. You’re going to need to add 2 eggs, and you can do it in a couple of ways. In a rush, I usually just wait till the carrots and onion are soft and golden, then crack the eggs into the same pan, scramble everything together, then remove from heat. If you have time, you can boil the eggs (hard cooked). When the carrots and onions are ready, remove them from the heat. Peel and chop the cooked eggs, and mix them with the veggies.
Dough: I mix 1 cube of live yeast (it’s about 42 grams, enough for 1 kilo of flour) with a spoon of sugar, a few spoons of flour, and about 1/4 c warm water. Mix well. Water should be warm enough to activate the yeast but not kill it. Cover bowl with a towel, let it sit for 10-15 minutes. If you come back and it’s not bubbly, try again with new yeast. If it’s bubbly and kinda puffy, good! Mix in about 1/3 of a 1 kilo bag of flour, 2 cups of buttermilk, 2 T melted butter, about 3 tsp salt. Add the remaining 1/2 kilo as you mix (all at once = mess). Mix until everything is incorporated well, then cover it and let it sit for 2 hours. Come back, and mix it just a little with your hands, if it’s too sticky to work with add some flour. You should have a big chunk of dough. Preheat your oven to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Rip off balls that are about 1.5″ in diameter (I do them 1 at a time). Roll the ball out on a floured surface, it should be about 5″-6″ in diameter. Place a few T of the stuffing (not hot) in the center. Fold it in half and pinch the sides well so it won’t open. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased. After you’ve put them on the sheet, let them sit for about 20 minutes. Just before putting them in the oven you can brush them with a mix of beaten raw egg + melted butter. Put them in the oven, as soon as they turn LIGHT brown, turn the heat down to 300 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes more. This makes a LOT of them! Like 20-30. They take a lot of time but are soooo good. You can make other fillings, I also like a filling of mash potatoes mixed with fried onions. You can also do this without making your own dough, I’ve heard from Russians in the States that they sometimes use Pillsbury dough. These are eaten with a meal, can be with any course you want, or as a snack, or even a breakfast or as an entire light meal. If you want you can add a little more sugar to the dough and then fill it with a fruit filling, then they are a dessert.
Vareniki
It means “boiled thing”, it’s more Ukrainian. There are different types, I like the ones filled with tvorog (like ricotta cheese). They’re kind of like a ravioli, but are usually for dessert. Cherry filling is also popular, and tasty.
Filling: 250 g ricotta cheese, about 3 T sugar, 1 egg beaten. Mix all these well.
Dough: All you need is flour, 1 egg, water and a bit of salt. I usually take about 2 c of flour, mix with the beaten egg and a little salt. Then I add water bit by bit until the dough forms a consistency that it’s not sticky and can be rolled into a nice ball with a sort of silky texture. I let the dough sit about 10 minutes, then I break off balls about 1″ in diameter. If the dough has become too sticky after sitting, add flour little by little. Roll a ball out on a floured surface, until it is 3″-4″ in diameter. Place a spoon or so of the filling in the middle, close into a half-moon shape, pinching well. Continue with all of them. Its best if you leave them sit on a floured wooden cutting board and don’t let them touch or they’ll stick. Cook them about 8-10 minutes in lightly salted boiling water. Drain and serve with lots of sour cream. Dessert.
