  • Vegetable puree for a child. Boil the Mexican mixture in a small amount. Drain and chop vegetables with a blender. Mashed potatoes can be diluted with vegetable broth to the desired thickness or potatoes can be added to make the dish thicker.

Risotto with Mexican mix

Products:

  • 0.5 kg of rice;
  • 200 gr of Russian cheese;
  • 100 g olive oil;
  • 3 pieces of onions;
  • 100 grams of celery;
  • 1 carrot;
  • 1 tbsp. l. salt;
  • 1 glass of dry white wine;
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper;
  • ½ teaspoon of ground ginger;
  • 0.5 kg of Mexican mixture;
  • 150 grams of butter;
  • 3 cloves of garlic.

First, cook the vegetable stock in 1 liter of water using one carrot, one onion and celery. Chop the remaining onion. Cut or break the cheese too. Fry the garlic and spices, use half of the olive oil and a third of the butter for this. Remove the garlic after frying, and in the resulting aromatic oil until half cooked, fry the Mexican mixture, adding chopped celery and carrots (boiled, from broth) there. We have a roast of vegetables and broth ready.

It's risotto's turn. In a hot saucepan, heat the remaining oil - olive (all that is left) and butter (half of the remaining oil). Pour the onion, cut into rings, into a saucepan over medium heat. The task is to saturate the onion with oil, make it soft and golden. Do not fry.

Rice queue. Pour it into a saucepan, stir gently. After two or three minutes, the rice will be soaked in oil and golden brown.

It's time to pour in the wine. You need to gently stir the rice, not allowing it to stick together. Wait a few minutes until the wine is absorbed and the alcohol evaporates. Reduce heat, stirring occasionally, gradually pour in broth. The rice should be slightly covered with broth. Cooking time is 20 minutes.

Add fried vegetables and cheese 5 minutes before the rice is cooked. Mix. The cheese should melt and, along with the vegetables, be evenly distributed throughout the mass. The ideal state of rice for risotto is when the grains are threefold, soft on the outside, and a little hard on the inside, as if with a small bone. Turn off the fire, wait 5 minutes and add butter that is left. It's time to put risotto on a dish, decorate and invite to the table!

Bon Appetit!

Best regards, Galina.

I always buy the Mexican mix "Every Day" in Auchan in large quantities, if there is a place for it in the freezer. The price is quite reasonable 42 rubles for a sachet weighing 400 grams.

The packaging is sealed, there has never been a break in the packaging, the package is very strong. I bring frozen vegetables home without any refrigerator bags without problems, they do not stick together, flowability remains.

The composition includes:

Corn

I shoot one star in the assessment for not neat slicing of bell pepper.

Sometimes there are just huge pieces of it.

The green beans are cut equally, neatly.

All vegetables look fresh without wormholes, stains.


Cooking (stewing) takes quite a long time for me, namely about 1 hour, because. corn grains are rather dense, obviously not of milk ripeness.

I have only 2 dishes I can make with these frozen vegetables:

1 dish

Directly by yourself stewed vegetables with meat in cream.

For a family of 4 people (for one meal) I prepare 2 packages, provided that I also add pork, or beef, or chicken, or sausages - sausages according to the situation (what is).

I take for this dish

2 bags of Mexican mix

Cream, or sour cream, or mayonnaise 2-3 tbsp. spoons

Meat (or, as mentioned above, chicken, or sausages)

Greens, spices (although it is possible without them)

Mushrooms can be added

We put all the listed ingredients in a frying pan, pour 1 glass of water.


Simmer for about 1 hour over low heat.

Add a little water if necessary.




2 course

Stewed cabbage or stew with Mexican mix

For such a dish I take 1 packet of the mixture

White cabbage

Eggplant (if any), can be substituted for mushrooms

Onions, carrots, herbs, spices

Meat or chicken or sausages

Cut. Put everything in a saucepan. Add some water. Simmer for about 1 hour. At the end, when the dish is ready, add a little odorless vegetable oil and stir.

In general, I am satisfied with the price-quality ratio of this vegetable mixture, I recommend it for purchase.

Mexicans love spicy food, but the Mexican concoction is by no means the same. These are frozen vegetables that are shock-frozen at very low temperatures. Due to this, they retain a much larger amount of vitamins and minerals.

A huge variety of dishes can be prepared from a Mexican mixture. Frozen vegetables can be stewed, boiled, fried, deep-fried. Both vegetarian and meat soups and second courses. Besides, vegetable stew- a wonderful side dish for fish.

The composition of the Mexican mixture includes: - carrots; - green beans; - green pea; - Bulgarian pepper, cut into pieces; - corn.

Some manufacturers add celery and onions to the composition.

Mexican salad

This dish is very hearty snack... For its preparation you will need: - 1 package of Mexican mixture (400 g); - 200 g ham; - 200 g smoked sausage; - 1 can of canned red beans; - crackers; - ground black pepper; - mayonnaise.

Simmer vegetables in a saucepan for 10-15 minutes. At the same time, you should not add water and oil. The frozen mixture will release required amount liquids when heated. Cool the mass.

Cut the ham and sausage into strips. Open a jar with canned beans, drain the liquid. Combine beans, chopped sausage, stewed vegetables, and croutons. Add pepper to taste. Season the salad with mayonnaise to taste.

In this recipe, sausage can be replaced with boiled meat.

Mexican soup

To prepare this dish, take: - pork or beef bones; - 1 pack of Mexican mix; - 3-4 potatoes; - salt and pepper to taste; - cream; - greens.

Boil meat broth... Remove the meat, separate it from the bones and chop portioned pieces... Strain the broth so that it is transparent.

Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes or small cubes. Place in boiling broth and cook for about ten minutes. Add the Mexican mixture to the soup and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle the prepared soup with herbs and season with cream to taste.

The soup can be made spicier by adding a chili pod while boiling. When the dish is ready, remove the pepper, otherwise the soup will turn out too hot and spicy.

Mexican pork

You will need: - 300 g of pork tenderloin; - 1 pack of Mexican mix; - 3-4 large tomatoes; - 1 onion; - vegetable oil; - salt and pepper.

Wash the pork under the tap cold water and cut into portions. Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Season the meat with salt and pepper, add the onion, mix everything and put in a cool place to marinate for about one hour.

Heat oil in a saucepan. Place the marinated pork with the onions and sauté until the meat changes color. Then add frozen vegetables and simmer, covered for 10 minutes. Stir the mass periodically so as not to burn.

At this time, cut the tomatoes into fairly large wedges and place in a saucepan. Mix everything thoroughly and simmer for 20-30 minutes over low heat. Pepper the finished dish and sprinkle with finely chopped herbs.
