Mutton is going to stink. If you put one of these three seasonings casually, the effect will be very good. Otherwise, the stew will stink.

In autumn and winter, everyone wants to start preparing the hot pot restaurant at home. Even if you are not going to make a hot pot restaurant at home, you will choose a hot cauldron to comfort yourself when you go out to eat. Sales of dog hot pot, copper pot and sheep scorpion hot pot pot are still rising.

Beef is a kind of meat food with a very clear audience. People who like beef can't love it. Sheep bones can be chewed with relish. People who don't like beef are so bored that they don't even drink mutton soup. In the final analysis, it is also because different people have different degrees of acceptance of the smell of mutton.

Why does beef smell like mutton? The representative taste of meat mostly comes from small animal fat cells. If the fat of raw pork, beef and mutton can be completely removed, these meats taste basically the same except for their different tastes. This is why chaozhou people likes lard bibimbap and stir-fry. Chongqing people agree that the smell of animal fat is representative, just like butter chafing dish.

Back to beef, vegetable oil is the main source of mutton smell. The first thing to eat old Beijing instant-boiled mutton hot pot is to rinse the tail oil of sheep, which belongs to the position with the heaviest taste on the sheep. If you rinse with white soup, the soup will be "fat" and have "sheep flavor", which is the mutton flavor of sheep.

How to remove the smell of mutton? Although beef really needs mutton flavor, it will be recognized by beef lovers. For more people, it is more appropriate to have less mutton, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to eat and difficult to swallow. So here are three raw materials that can effectively remove the smell of mutton, and any one of them can combine the smell of mutton well to make mutton more delicious.

Seasoning 1: onion

If you have been to Xinjiang, you will find that Xinjiang people are more accustomed to adding onions to beef. They are called "leather teeth". Onions are sweet and can be eaten raw, with a little sweetness. When cooked, they are not sweet, only sweet. Onions are not only nutritious, but also with beef, which can cover up the smell of mutton.

Besides Xinjiang people like to mix onions with beef, so do Beijingers. Sauteed mutton with onion is a Beijing dish in life. Sliced beef, chopped onion, fried in oil, two nourishing ingredients for nourishing blood and invigorating qi are combined. It is best to eat in winter.

Condiment 2: Pepper

Pepper is not suitable for stewing pork, but it is very similar to beef. Mutton has a strong fishy smell. You can get rid of it with a handful of pepper. Pepper is very fragrant, which can suppress the odor, but beef is cost-effective, so we can't let it go. A little pepper can suppress the smell of the whole pot of mutton soup.

Condiment 3: Radix Paeoniae Alba

When stewing lamb chops, you can add a small piece of white peony root. Peony is fragrant. It is directly called "Xiang" in Benjing and "Xiang Shaoyao" in Jian Yizhi, which shows that the fragrance of Paeonia lactiflora is very strong and acceptable to everyone.

Many restaurants use white peony root to improve the aroma of mutton soup and cover up the smell of mutton. Moreover, Paeonia lactiflora has the effect of relieving exterior syndrome and dispelling cold, which is closely related to beef. But don't put too much white peony root, otherwise the mutton soup will have bitter taste, so everyone must pay attention.
