The weather here is particularly hot these two days, but what is unexpected is that it will snow in a few days, and the temperature will plummet below 0 degrees. This is really unacceptable, today I rushed to the market, bought 2 pigeons and came back, ready to stew a pot of pigeon soup at home, to supplement the family.
After all, as the saying goes: "One pigeon wins nine chickens", the nutritional value of pigeons is indeed very high, cheaper than chicken and more nourishing than chicken. Whether it is stewed chicken soup, rib soup or other broths, there are always people who like to blanch water, thinking that blanching water can remove the blood water and fishy smell, but you must know that when stewing pigeon soup, you can not blanch water.
Pigeon soup, drinking is its umami taste, its nutrition, blanched water and then fished out, and then re-added water to stew, nutrition has lost a lot. So stew pigeon soup, how to stew it, in fact, the method is very simple, as long as you remember 2 points, nutrition is not lost, the soup is delicious.
1. Do not cut into chunks
Stewed chicken soup, pork rib soup, generally we are cut into pieces, and then come to the pot to stew, but stew pigeon soup do not. After cutting the pieces, some of the nutrients in the pigeons flow out, destroying the nutrients. Therefore, when we stew, we do not cut it, but we need to stew it whole.
2. Do not blanch water
If you don't blanch the water, many people feel fishy, what to do? In fact, we put the pigeons in water, boil them, and after cooking the foam, we can skim off the fishy foam.
Recipe: pigeon, goji berries, yam (can be left behind), ginger, salt, cooking wine
1: Prepare 2 pigeons, dispose of the pigeons, and then wash them thoroughly, remember not to cut the pieces. Let's prepare a few more goji berries, and if you like to eat yam, you can also put a little bit.
2, below we boil a pot of boiling water, wait for the water to boil completely, and then put the pigeons into it, after boiling to see the foam, we will leave these foam out. After skimming off the foam, do not fish out the pigeons at this time, we can just stew like this, so as not to cause the loss of nutrition.
3: Next, add a few slices of ginger to the pot, and you can cover the lid and start simmering. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then turn to a medium-low heat and simmer for 1 hour, then put the yam in it after 1 hour, and continue to simmer for another half an hour to an hour, and the soup is now very delicious.
4, finally, we pour the goji berries into it, add a little salt to season, other spices do not need to be added, so that stew for another 5 minutes, you can out of the pot, a pot of nutritious soup, it is ready.
