Mutton is a kind of meat that people usually eat. Mutton is rich in nutritional value and is a good tonic, especially suitable for autumn and winter. Do you know how to cook mutton? Do you know how to cook mutton? Today, I recommend several ways to eat mutton. Let's have a look!
Stew, stew and steam: original soup.
This can ensure the maximum loss of nutrients, and the nourishing effect is the best. When stewing, some nutrients are dissolved into the soup; When stewing and steaming, the nutrients are basically still in the meat, which is suitable for people who love meat.
When stewing soup, stew some leg bones and spine for half an hour to form milky soup, remove the soup bones, then put the washed mutton in a pot, add onion and ginger, and stew over low heat. It will taste better if stewed in a casserole.
Rinse: the smell is small.
Many people don't like the taste of mutton, which can be alleviated by rinsing. In addition, mutton can be soaked in cold water for one night in winter and one or two hours in summer, and the fishy smell of mutton can also be drained.
Need to be reminded that instant-boiled mutton with spicy soup base is easy to get angry after eating. You can eat some tremella, pears and other foods at the same time, or drink some chrysanthemum tea to get rid of the fire. Because there may be germs and parasites in mutton, it is necessary to choose mutton slices that have passed quality inspection and rinse them thoroughly until they are cooked.
Cooking: Can sweat.
Take sauteed mutton with onion as the representative, choose fresh hind leg meat or tenderloin, cut into thin slices, add fresh scallion, soak and stir-fry with high fire. Has the effects of invigorating qi, tonifying deficiency, warming middle warmer and lower body, sweating and detoxicating.
Roast and fry: oily.
The representative dishes of roast instant-boiled mutton are mutton skewers and roast mutton. These two methods are very oily, and the cooking temperature is too high, and the nutrient loss is also the most serious. When people roast mutton at home, they can marinate it with cumin, fragrant leaves and salt for one hour, then steam it in a pot and bake it in an oven at about 180℃, which can reduce the oil content.
Best partner: radish
Yang Li and Cai Jun, professors of Xiyuan Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said in an interview that mutton is warm, and it is best to eat it with some cool vegetables, such as radish, towel gourd, wax gourd, spinach, Chinese cabbage, Flammulina velutipes and mushrooms.
But when it comes to the "perfect match" of mutton, there is only radish. On the one hand, the combination of meat and vegetable can supplement all kinds of protein needed by human body. On the other hand, radish is cold and cool, which can moisten dryness and clear fire, remove greasy and help digestion.
Cold, stale white
Geng Hao, assistant researcher of Sean and animal husbandry research institute of Xinjiang Academy of Animal Husbandry, introduced that there are two kinds of mutton on the market: frozen and fresh. Good quality frozen mutton is bright and bright red.
Sometimes mutton is white when it is just taken out of the freezer, but it turns red after a while, which is also of good quality. The fat part should be white and delicate. If it turns yellow, it means it has been frozen for a long time. Fresh mutton feels sticky and not slippery, which means there is no moisture.
The muscles of fresh mutton are strong and elastic, and they can stand up when cut into thick slices, while those that are not fresh are too soft to stand.

Nutritional value of mutton
Sheep are naturally cold-resistant, mainly produced in cold plateau areas of China, such as Qinghai, Tibet and Inner Mongolia, among which Inner Mongolia is the best sheep breed. The temperature difference between day and night in Inner Mongolia is large; Lush aquatic plants are especially suitable for sheep.
Most people here are nomads, and their lives are unstable, but they are all strong. They can still ride horses and whip and graze cattle and sheep in the cold of MINUS 30 degrees. Their strong physique and cold resistance are inseparable from the diet structure of eating mutton all the year round.
Similarly, in the south of China, there will be a broad market for mutton, but there are few sheep in the south. People don't understand the characteristics of mutton, and they can't adapt to the unique flavor of mutton at first, and the number of local Muslims is less than that in the north, so not many people eat mutton. For example, in terms of climate and geographical conditions, the south needs mutton more.
South China has a subtropical climate, especially in the Yangtze River and Shujiang River basins, which is rainy, windy and humid all the year round. In winter, the cold is unbearable. Due to the influence of geographical pattern, residents have no heating equipment in winter, and people feel cold in the house, which makes people unable to adapt for a long time, especially those who go to the north.
In this climate, people are prone to rheumatism, spinal diseases, central nervous system and other diseases for a long time, which will endanger people's health and affect people's life span. Therefore, in the vast areas of the south, whether in winter or summer, people can eat more mutton at an appropriate time to get rid of moisture, avoid cold and warm their hearts and stomachs, which is beneficial to everyone.
Eating mutton can prevent cancer.
According to the newspaper, a few days ago, Swiss scientists found an anticancer substance in cattle and sheep. This fatty acid called CLA has obvious effect on treating cancer.
Scientists at the Swiss Institute of Zoology have discovered the unique properties of conjugated linoleic acid after years of research. Through experiments on mice and human cells, scientists found that under the action of conjugated linoleic acid, the growth of cancer cells was inhibited and gradually decreased, and the therapeutic effect on skin cancer, colon cancer and breast cancer was obvious.
Experts pointed out that CLA mainly exists in meat and dairy products, and the CLA content of ruminants such as cattle and sheep is much higher than that of pigs and chickens. The experiment also proved that the content of CLA in animals grazing sheep on the grassland was high.
Reasonable collocation and fire prevention
Mutton is warm, and it is easy to get angry if you eat it often. Therefore, when eating mutton, it must be accompanied by cool and sweet vegetables, which can play a role in cooling, detoxifying and removing fire.
Cold vegetables generally include white gourd, loofah, spinach, Chinese cabbage, Flammulina velutipes, mushrooms, water bamboo and so on. Mutton with tofu is the best, which can not only supplement a variety of trace elements, but also play a role in clearing away heat and purging fire, removing annoyance and quenching thirst.

Three Methods of Selecting Mutton in Summer
Benefits of drinking mutton soup in summer
Summer solar terms are just around the Mid-Autumn Festival in the dog days, which is the period with the most sunshine and the highest temperature in China. Most parts of the country are dry and lack of rain, and the temperature in many areas is above 35 degrees, commonly known as "three stoves".
In the hot summer, China people have the custom of drinking tea, drying ginger and burning incense. Many areas in Shandong have the custom of "drinking summer sheep" (that is, drinking mutton soup) on the day of summer heat. In Zaozhuang city, many citizens go to the local mutton soup kitchen to "drink summer sheep" in the hot summer.
Eating mutton in dog days is the most nutritious. In dog days, heat accumulates in the human body. At this time, drinking mutton soup and drinking Chili oil, vinegar and garlic will inevitably make you sweat all over. This kind of sweat can take away the heat accumulated in the five internal organs and expel toxins from the body, which is beneficial to health. In the mutton soup before midsummer, because the grass on the mountain is just green, sheep eat green grass, leaving a lot of toxins in their bodies.
Drinking mutton soup in summer can stimulate appetite, protect the stomach and increase appetite, especially for women who eat after childbirth. In the past, every summer, people had the custom of giving each other mutton. Mutton is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins B 1 and B2, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Its nature warms the middle warmer, dispels cold, eliminates stagnation, strengthens glands and benefits qi, and warms and tonifies kidney-yang. Mutton soup is not as hot as chicken soup, and it is warm and nourishing, which is very good for people who are weak to drink mutton soup.
The origin of drinking mutton soup in summer
It is understood that Zaozhuang people's habit of eating sheep in summer is related to local farming and climate. Zaozhuang is a famous wheat producing area. Entering the summer, it is the time when the wheat harvest is over and the new wheat is on the market. This is a short off-season. After harvesting in early summer, when people are tired, they should have a rest and enjoy themselves. At that time, what could be delicious in the countryside was to eat a new wheat steamed stuffed bun. Some people just kill a sheep mercilessly. I didn't want to eat, so I took my married daughter back, ate new wheat buns and drank mutton soup. Over time, the folk custom of drinking sheep was formed.
Nowadays, people in Zaozhuang drink mutton soup in summer, not only for health, but also for gathering with friends, eating soup and meat. Drinking mutton in summer has gradually become an important festival for people in Zaozhuang.
In addition, Putian people also have the habit of eating mutton in summer. Putian people have the custom of eating lychee, mutton and rice trough on the Great Summer Festival, which is called "Great Summer". Warm soup mutton is one of the unique dishes in Putian. After the sheep are slaughtered, the wool and dirt are removed, and the whole sheep are blanched in a boiling water pot. Pick it up and put it in a earthen jar, then pour out the boiling soup in the pot and soak it for a certain period of time before taking it out of the earthen market. When eating, cut the mutton into pieces, the meat is crisp and tender, and the taste is delicious. Mutton is warm, nourishing and suitable for eating and medicine. On the morning of the Summer Festival, mutton is on the market, which is in short supply.
In summer, the human body consumes a lot of energy. At this time, it is very appropriate and necessary to supplement energy with mutton filled with long gas. Because of its effectiveness, this custom has been retained and accepted by more and more people. However, mutton is not suitable for everyone, especially many patients, and mutton should be listed as a taboo food. People with colds, coughs, skin diseases and hemoptysis should not eat mutton. As for people with yin deficiency and fire flourishing, it is better to eat less. In addition, you can't eat too much mutton. If you have abdominal distension after eating mutton, you can use mulberry leaf tea to solve it.
How to choose mutton?
1, smell
Fresh meat has a normal smell, while inferior meat has an ammonia or sour taste.
Step 2 touch the meat
Fresh meat is elastic, the surface of fresh meat is slightly dry or moist, and it is not sticky, and the surface is moist and elastic.
3. Look at this color
When buying mutton, it is required that the appearance is complete, the lean meat is ruddy and the fat is white or milky white. If the color of mutton is dim and the fat lacks luster, the depression will recover slowly after being pressed by hand, which means that mutton is not fresh and should not be bought.
