Baking is a method that allows to preserve all the nutritional properties of a food, to eliminate completely or almost completely the seasonings, and for this reason it is indicated in low-calorie diets, to enhance the flavors and aromas of the food to be cooked. The advantages of steaming and baking are exploited, and the consistency and succulence of each dish is maintained.
How to prepare the paper
Normally, the food to be cooked in aluminum foil or baking paper is wrapped. Alternatively, for a softer and tastier result, you can use vegetable leaves, such as cabbage. Before putting the ingredients on the sheet it is good to grease the latter with olive oil. Once placed the food you can moisten it with some liquid, which can be water, wine, lemon or orange juice. This is especially true for some meats, like chicken, which tend to dry out.
Everything that tastes
In the foil you can cook meats, fish, vegetables and even cereals. You can season the food with aromatic herbs, spices, garlic, onion, to intensify the taste of food, or cook them on a bed of vegetables, especially if it is fish or delicate meat. Once the dishes have been garnished, the paper must be closed, avoiding spilling of liquids, and placing it in a pan directly in the oven, for a period of time ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and consistency of the food in question. Once ready, you can serve it directly in the foil or serve it, taking care to recover the sauce, which should not be thrown away!
