It is already well known that steaming is probably one of the healthiest methods of cooking, as the products retain their vitamins and other valuable substances. More and more families use it and remain extremely satisfied. Of course, there are skeptics who say that steaming makes products bland and tasteless, but this is not the case. It all depends on the recipes and the way they are made.

Here are some quick ideas for steamed dishes.

Carrot and apricot puree

Necessary products: 700 grams of carrots, peeled and sliced, 100 grams of apricots, peeled and cut in half, 2 tablespoons cream, salt and pepper to taste.

Method of preparation: Steam the carrots and apricots for about 20 minutes until the carrots are completely soft. Put in a food processor, add the cream, salt and pepper and make a smooth puree.

Steamed bean salad

The beans are soaked in water for 24 hours. In the morning, change the water and let the beans soak in the new water. In a saucepan with a steamer pour beans and 350 milliliters of water - simmer for about an hour (or until cooked). Then put the squeezed beans in a separate bowl and add 2 heads of chopped red onions, 3 chopped tomatoes, 3 roasted, peeled and chopped peppers, 2 carrots (grated), half a bunch of parsley, olive oil and salt. If desired, you can add lemon or vinegar.

Steamed vegetables

Pour about 300 milliliters of water into the pan, place the steamer and arrange the vegetables on it - potatoes (unpeeled, cut in half lengthwise), zucchini (unpeeled, sliced), onions (peeled and cut into large pieces), cabbage (cut into thick slices)). There must be enough air between the products (ie not crammed) so that they can absorb enough steam and cook well. Boil on low heat with the lid closed for about 25 minutes. Flights with olive oil or sauce and spices are served.
