Basically for scarecrows, first cut the meat, fry it quickly and then simmer along with the vegetables and mushrooms and serve with light or red sauce and pasta or rice. Most often we use chicken, which can be found in both original ancient and modern recipes, but in reality we can prepare scary with all kinds of meat, including fish or seafood, as well as know versions quite good vegetarian and even vegan. The name of the dish is entirely French. What exactly it means, we can not say for sure, but it is assumed that it is a cut from the French terms frire (fruit) and casser or quasser (dissect). Connoisseurs most often describe the dish as a French stew, most often with white or light sauce. Legendary Julia Child in her book Mastering the Art of French Cooking describes frikaseen as “something between cooking and boiling”, which is actually the best description possible. Do not add juice to the pot and boil it with the liquid from the beginning. In a classic frying pan, we really stir the sliced meat first, so that it does not turn brown quickly, then we add broth or water and cook until the end of the cooking, together with the sliced mushrooms and some vegetables. Often with asparagus that is over for this year, or fresh peas. According to some modern recipes, meat should be cooked to the end, to a brown crust, but classic recipes require that both meat and vegetables remain light, without any caramelization. The process of frying and then boiling is already found in ancient recipes, such as those from the earliest version of the medieval French cookbook Le Viandier, published around 1300! But it was not until 1490 that the process was first called “friquassee” in the printed edition of Le Viandier cookbook.
Either way, the delicious dish has become known around the world and is known to have been fully adored by Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Although he was a Republican. In the Caribbean, where the dish was brought by immigrants from the south of France and Spain, the dish is extremely popular even today, but it is prepared in the aforementioned red way, based on tomatoes and red wine, which is definitely an idea worth it. trying. Interesting is a 19th-century California recipe for fricaso de pollos a la española, in which pieces of meat are first fried with chopped onions, onions, garlic and mushrooms, followed by tomatoes with olives, fresh herbs and olive oil. There are two other dishes of the same name, but completely different. Tunisian is a type of salted donut, sliced and stuffed with tuna, boiled eggs, olives and hot red sauce and potatoes. Bolivian, on the other hand, is a soup made from pork ribs, corn, potatoes, onions and garlic and is known as a dish that follows cats.
