As soon as the general manager left, several chefs came over one after another, they didn't know how many senior officials there were in the restaurant, so Meng Chuan came in alone to cook, presumably for the biggest official to cook.

But Meng Chuan is a soldier, can he cook? Presumably he just came in to supervise our cooking, after all, such a big official, it is normal to pay attention to food safety.

Meng Chuan saw a few chefs coming over and smiled, "It's enough for me to cook alone, you guys can go by yourself." ”

The chefs here are of a very high grade, and they are afraid that the things made by Meng Chuan will not be delicious, and the general manager will blame himself later, "Comrade, the food we cook is not bad, or I will cook, you can supervise it." ”

Meng Chuan saw that a few chefs wanted to be crooked, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the matter is not as serious as you think, okay, it's all gone, I'm going to start cooking." ”

When the chefs saw that Meng Chuan didn't let him help, they couldn't say anything, so they could only go back to their respective positions, and then peeked at Meng Chuan to see what kind of food he could cook.

This restaurant is very high-end, so the ingredients in the back kitchen, that is very sufficient, Meng Chuan first took some chickpeas and put them in the water and soaked them for a while.

If we usually want to make such a dish, it is best to soak the chickpeas in the evening in advance, although this chickpea is a kind of bean popular in Europe, but in our country, it is also planted, and it is not difficult to buy it on the market, if you want to taste the fresh, you can go to a treasure to buy, the price is not expensive, twenty or thirty yuan, it is enough to eat for a while.

Chickpeas are beans that are used to stew soup, which is really good, because chickpeas are rich in starch, which can make the soup taste richer, and the taste of chickpea starch is very similar to that of chestnuts, so it is indeed very good to stew soup with this bean.

After soaking the beans, Meng Chuan prepared some ham, a piece of beef leg meat, a sausage, half a chicken, a piece of pork belly, a beef bone, and the meat dishes were almost ready, and he was preparing some vegetarian dishes, half a cabbage (cabbage), three carrots, three potatoes, a green onion, and a little vermicelli. Long look at the first release of Chinese network.

After the ingredients are prepared, Meng Chuan will start to make them officially.

Make the meat first, pour the bones and cut meat into the pot and start simmering slowly.

In order to save time, Meng Chuan doesn't use an ordinary pot to stew, just go directly to the pressure cooker, which is faster, and it is worth noting here that if you use a pressure cooker, don't rush to cover the lid.

Because although Meng Chuan is stewing meat, there is still one ingredient to stew, that is, chickpeas, because of the beans, they must be stewed for a long time before they can be stewed and stewed. So don't treat beans as ordinary vegetables, as they will be undercooked.

After the pressure cooker water boiled, Meng Chuan fished the chickpeas out of the clear water, then put them in the pressure cooker, and finally closed the lid and simmered on high heat for fifteen minutes.

Because of the relatively large pressure, the pressure cooker may be released for about five minutes when it is naturally deflated, so you must pay attention to safety and wait until the safety valve of the lid is loosened before opening the lid.

After the meat was stewed, Meng Chuan opened the lid of the pot, and did not rush to take out the meat at this time, but took out the bones separately, and then added vegetables to the pot to continue stewing.

However, there is another method, which is not to add vegetables directly, but to stir-fry them first.

Take out a pan, then pour in the olive oil, add the vegetables, stir-fry, and after the sauté is half-cooked, add the vegetables to the pan and continue to simmer.

Once the stew is cooked, add seasonings such as salt and the dish is complete.

Of course, Madrid stew, as a national dish of F, is far more than just Meng Chuan, and there are more exquisite ways to eat, some people like to put vegetables on a plate, and then put vermicelli on a plate, soup on a plate, and meat and beans on a plate.

But no matter how you eat it, the essential difference is not much, that is, these ingredients are stewed in a pot.

It is worth mentioning that this Madrid stew is not only a local delicacy, but also used as a military food by the military of country F. Meng Chuan used to stay in the General Logistics Food Research Institute, so he had seen foreign military food.

I don't know if country F has a soft spot for soups or what's going on, a whole bag of military food, which contains vitamin drinks, afternoon tea, cane sugar, chewing gum, chocolate, solid fuel, Madrid stew, a half-soup food, and even a simple heating rack for metal products (for more convenient heating of soups), but there is only no staple food in it.

Meng Chuan didn't find a piece of compressed biscuits or bread in it, even half a piece.

Maybe Meng Chuan saw it a little one-sidedly, or maybe the soldiers of country F didn't eat this individual ration on the battlefield, but such rations did exist. Oh, and by the way, that pack of rations also included a bag of hand sanitizer and a bar of soap.

At that time, Meng Chuan was a little stunned after disassembling it, do these F people love cleanliness so much, chewing gum or something, let's not think about fresh breath, just think that the soldiers chew gum just to relieve stress.

But hand sanitizer and soap, Meng Chuan really can't understand, is it possible that on the battlefield, before eating, the soldiers still have to use a small amount of drinking water to wash their hands first?

Of course, you may also say that putting hand sanitizer in that place does not have to allow the soldiers to wash their hands, but allows the soldiers to save it. But you don't let the soldiers wash their hands, what are you putting hand sanitizer in? The warriors did not have soap in their backpacks.

Meng Chuan didn't approve of it anyway, maybe Meng Chuan was pragmatist, and felt that it was better to put more bags of hand sanitizer than to compress biscuits faster.

While it's true to be a hygienist, the scent of hand sanitizer and soap is often more revealing than some garbage.

The words are a bit far, after Meng Chuan made the Madrid stew here, he immediately put it on the plate, and the chefs in the back kitchen were a little surprised after smelling the fragrance of the Madrid stew, but they didn't expect that the food cooked by this armed police officer was actually no less fragrant than himself, and even, faintly surpassed himself.

What the hell is this armed police officer doing, why is his cooking skills so good?

Meng Chuan was carrying the ingredients, and when he first came to the door of Secretary Hu's room, he was stopped by Secretary Wang, "Meng Chuan, don't rush in first, Secretary Hu received an important call, you wait for a while." ”

Meng Chuan hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Yes, Secretary Wang." ”

However, as soon as Secretary Wang's voice fell, the door of Secretary Hu's room opened, "Is Xiao Meng's rice ready?" Come in, I just happen to have something to do with you. ”
