Cheeseburger
This is our all-time favorite take on the classic burger. I give the recipe to you with some intention. It’s clear that burgers are easy and simple to prepare at home if you want homemade fast food. But I suggest you diversify your picnic trips with this idea! The only special equipment you need is a grill grate on which you can fry cutlets and warm up buns. All other ingredients can be cut at home and placed in containers. And collecting cheeseburgers with the whole group will certainly be fun. But it’s non-standard and new!
Men's recipes: Meatballs
Meatballs
It's hard to surprise a woman by preparing meatballs for her. This is not a brutal kebab or elk stroganina, not a banquet dish, and certainly not an aphrodisiac. Therefore, let's prepare meatballs for ourselves, our beloved. As V.I. Lenin wrote in 1913, there are three sources and three components of good meatballs: minced meat, sauce and side dish (PSS, vol. 5, p. 26). And now in more detail
Ground meat . You can spin meat whose quality you trust. Or you can buy ready-made minced meat - fortunately, the choice of this product is huge. If you buy minced chicken (or grind your own chicken breast), be sure to add pork or beef to it. Do not spare spices, dried herbs, eggs.
Many people think that when preparing meatballs or cutlets, catering workers add soaked loaves to the minced meat. This is not true: they add it instead of minced meat. But we will not abandon this Soviet invention, otherwise the meatballs will turn out to be rubber, and if they fall off the table they will funny jump on the floor. You won't believe it, but you can even add water to the minced meat! The main thing is to beat him off well. Yes, just like dough! Have you ever beaten dough? Then why are you reading an article about making elite homemade meatballs? Cook some sausages and relax.
You can also add boiled rice, finely chopped onion and garlic to the minced meat. I have no doubt there was a lot of minced meat. Our natural laziness forces us to make large meatballs - this way there is less fuss. We need to fight this. Using a tablespoon, “pinch” equal portions of minced meat and place these ugly pieces on a table sprinkled with flour. Never use breadcrumbs! Flour or crackers are a qualifying feature that distinguishes meatballs from cutlets (except for stewing in gravy, of course).
Now these small pieces need to be rolled in your palms. The process is long and tedious, so you can chant mantras or remember the multiplication table by nine. Having rolled them in flour, place them on a large flat plate in the amount calculated by the formula (4mx Q) + 4m+ 3, where n is the number of eaters, Q is the additive coefficient, m is unexpected guests, 3 is a visit to the refrigerator at one in the morning.
There are still blanks left, so we put them in a polystyrene container (from minced meat) and put them in the freezer.
Sauce. Not to be confused with table gravy (a source of heartburn), which is prohibited by the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Have on hand: onions, cream or sour cream, flour, broth, spices, deep frying pan (wok possible), blender. We don’t use tomato paste as a matter of principle. Firstly, a tomato is for a cook like cocoa for a cook: add it everywhere and you will hide any shortcomings in taste. Secondly, modern tomato pastes with vinegar and enhancers will not allow you to enjoy the delicate taste of meatballs. For the future: if tomato sauce is so necessary, make it yourself from store-bought tomato juice, boiling it in a saucepan over low heat, adding spices.
Fry the flour in a dry frying pan. As soon as the flour has browned, pour in the broth, cream, and spices, stirring continuously. Add sour cream. In another frying pan, fry finely chopped onion until golden brown, you can even chop fresh champignons here. Mix our simple sauce with this delicious roast and grind in a blender.
Unfortunately, most men practice only three methods of cooking: cooking less than necessary, cooking longer than necessary, and frying with special effects (splashes of fat and smoke). I'll have to learn how to stew. Like in that joke:
- Hello! Firefighters? Fry some fish!
- We don't fry fish!
- And what are you doing?
- We are putting out fires!
- Well, put out the fish...
But first, let’s fry the meatballs on both sides to fix their shape. Simmer over low heat in a deep frying pan with a lid. Pour some of our sauce diluted with water over the fried meatballs. The other part has already been poured into the gravy boat and is waiting to be served. While stewing, keep an eye on the liquid level: too little will burn, too much will just cook.
Garnish. Excluding French fries and buckwheat, it can be anything: mashed potatoes, boiled vegetables, porridge, even pasta.
They say that meatballs are for a man what Raffaello is for a woman - “worth a thousand words.” I don't know, I would prefer a thousand tender words. I can cook meatballs myself.
Vitaly KUKSHINSKY
Actor Adam SANDLER is a meatball fan. He named his beloved English bulldog Meatball. When the dog died of a heart attack, Adam got a second bulldog, whom he named Matzoball (matzo ball).
And in the film “The Wedding Singer,” Sandler’s character received payment from a pensioner for vocal lessons... in meatballs. When grandma didn’t have any dishes to put the fee in, she served the meatballs directly into the tutor’s palms. And he didn’t resist - they were so delicious! They also appealed to his movie girlfriend, played by Drew Barrymore. I recommend watching three films with this acting duo at once: “The Wedding Singer”, “50 First Dates” and “Blended”.
Ribeye steak
In our opinion, ribeye is a thick end, but a special breed of young Australian bulls, which are fed with certain feeds and raised in certain ways. Let’s not bother ourselves here, but thanks to all these nuances, the meat turns out marbled, with streaks of fat, and when fried it gives an excellent result. You can't fry regular beef like that. In this recipe I will try to tell you all the nuances about cooking steaks that I know. I just want to cry with our “meat” situation in the country! Good meat is only imported and at atomic prices! Sometimes I catch a ribeye happy hour at the Metro store and enjoy life. Therefore, the culture of cooking steaks is not so widespread among the masses. Having rummaged through the RuNet, I was horrified by what an ordinary person who decided to cook a steak for the first time in his life could find! Therefore, we urgently correct the situation.

What can you cook for a man?
Women often spend time searching for recipes that allow them to cook quickly, unusually, and most importantly, deliciously. There is nothing better than waking up to the smell of aromatic coffee, walking into the kitchen and inhaling the smell of freshly prepared breakfast. At such moments, men value their loved ones the most. After all, the ability to cook deliciously is the best bonus to all feminine virtues.
But often girls simply rack their brains about what to put on the table for dear men? There are many ideas on what to cook for your loved one. The most important thing is desire, and you will definitely succeed in everything else. Remember that it is not so important for your loved one whether there will be hearty dishes or not. The most important thing is how you prepare them and then serve them. To surprise a man, you will need a little time, creativity and, of course, a set of products according to the recipes.
Among the hearty and tasty dishes are the following:
If you still don’t know how cooked food affects a man’s mood, then try eating processed or fast foods for at least one week, and then start eating fresh, home-cooked food. You will immediately notice changes in your lover's behavior.
Nobody says that the ability to cook deliciously is a mandatory feature of every woman, but all men who have found real and skilled housewives are infinitely happy. In their bachelor life (especially if they live separately from their parents), they have already eaten enough store-bought food, so it won’t hurt to pamper them with delicious home-cooked dishes.
