Fern is an outwardly attractive inhabitant of forests. But, in addition to its appearance, this plant also has a wonderful taste, which resembles something between mushrooms and meat. Fern contains a lot of useful substances, so not only cleans

strengthens the body and immunity, but even restores the work of some diseased organs. In cooking, two types of this plant are in great demand: bracken and ostrich. They are eaten fresh, boiled, fried, baked, s alted and pickled. Most often, the leaves of such plants are used. The benefits of this gift of nature can at least be said that it is used not only in cooking, but also in medicine.

Preparing a fern in the form of a salad is a simple matter. You will need sugar, s alt to taste, 50 grams of carrots, 70 grams of onions. Naturally, one cannot do without a fern, 200 g of which must be cut and soaked. Chop carrots and onions, fry in vegetable oil. While they are still warm, mix in the ferns. Add s alt and sugar there (as much as you wish). Salad "Forest" is ready. You can serve until the ingredients have cooled down.

The next salad is called "Taiga". The first stage is actually cooking

fern. Soak 400 grams of its leaves, and then chop, then add vinegar, sugar (15 g each), s alt (5 g) and three chopped garlic cloves. 120 g of onion and 100 g of carrots cut, fry. Then mix vegetables with ferns and leave for an hour or two.

Cooking a fern in a saucepan or in a frying pan involves rinsing it first to remove the scales. In some cases, after this, the plant should also be boiled a little.

Cooking fern in a pan requires the following preparation. First, rinse it (it is best to leave it in water for a day) and boil for 5-10 minutes. Then you can fry in margarine or vegetable oil. After doing this, sprinkle the fern with breadcrumbs. They need to be prepared in advance. Toast the bread cubes in a dry frying pan until golden brown. Remove from heat and put some butter in it. It should just melt, not boil.

The method of cooking fern with pork will give an excellent dish that

will be a pleasant surprise for your guests or household. You will need the following components: 400 grams of plant leaves, 1 pc. onions, 100 g of meat, a couple of cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of oil, 0.5 l of tomato, s alt, pepper. Rinse the fern and boil lightly. Finely chop its leaves, pork and onion. Fry then mix withremaining ingredients, s alt and pepper, simmer for a few more minutes, add spices and garlic.

Fern soup is a wonderful dish. For cooking, you will need several components: one hundred grams of lard, 400 g of bracken, two or three potatoes, an onion, a glass of flour and a liter of water. Fern should be soaked first. Then chop the onion and lard into small pieces and fry. In the same pan, put the chopped fern and sprinkle with flour, simmer for twenty minutes. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and boil in a separate bowl. In the resulting broth, put the lard with fern, mix, boil. Ready soup can be served with herbs and sour cream.

The next recipe is Korean-style fern cooking. Pour its leaves with cold water, rinse and put on fire, bring to a boil, put in a colander. Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan and, after heating, put the chopped fern. After frying it for five minutes, add soy sauce, water and simmer until cooked through. Remove from heat, add a little vinegar and put spices: pepper, s alt. The salad should be infused for 5 hours.
