For some reason, julienne for us is a dish of baked mushrooms. It is very tasty dish, and if you cook mushroom julienne in a pot or festive cocotte, it turns even solemn. Today HozOboz will tell you how to cook mushroom julienne along with the story that is well known around the world under this name.
Perhaps many of you will be surprised to learn that julienne is not a dish, but just a way of cutting vegetables. The young vegetables should be cut into very thin strips. Traditionally, this method of cutting is used for salads or summer soups. Julienne usually means cutting strips from root vegetables and sliced thin rings of onion and tomato. For this reason, soups, salads and sauces made from thinly sliced vegetables are sometimes referred to as Julien.
But in our country it’s a dish baked with cream or béchamel sauce and mushrooms with cheese crust, sometimes with chicken meat. Today we have julienne mushroom and its recipe with chicken.
As for history, the word "julienne" was first mentioned in the book of French chef Massialo Francois. Of course, he meant the way of chopping vegetables. Of course, in this sense, the word "julienne" used today. But we have it a dish of mushrooms today. In France, for example, a similar dish is called "cocotte".
Perhaps it is a way of cutting that gave the name to the dish to which we are used to. After all, mushrooms, onions and chicken for this recipe should be pretty finely cut, and then filled with béchamel sauce. By the way, we know much more about it than about the julienne itslef. This sauce is a favorite in European cuisine. They say it came up with Louis de Bechamel, the manager at the court of Louis XIV. Another version says that the bechamel was first prepared by Francois de la Varennes, the founder of haute cuisine and the royal chef. It is a simple sauce which serves as a basis to many great European cuisine sauces. Today we prepare the mushroom julienne, using a bechamel sauce with sour cream.
Speaking of mushrooms, it’s worth noting that we’re going to use champignon They consist on 90% of water, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins and organic acids, including PP, D, E, B vitamins, etc. By the way, these mushrooms can easily compete with the seafood on the phosphorus content.
