If you do not have a pastry syringe available, there are however several ways to fill the donuts with jam without the use of specialized equipment. Here are some alternative methods:

Using a homemade piping bag: You can make a homemade piping bag using a clean food bag. Fill the bag with cherry jam, pushing the jam towards one corner of the bag. Cut a small part of the corner of the bag and use this hole to squeeze the jam into the donuts.
Using a disposable piping bag: If you have disposable pastry pockets available, you can fill them with cherry jam and cut a small corner to allow the filling to come out. This method is similar to using a homemade piping bag, but the disposable pastry bags are already pre-shaped and may be more convenient to use.
Using a small spatula or teaspoon: If you don’t have access to piping bags or pastry bags, you can use a small spatula or teaspoon to spoon the jam into the donuts. Simply open the donut slightly, insert the tool and add the jam by gently pushing it inside.

Salmon are fatty – AltroFood – Gordon Ramsay’s version

Salmon And fats they are two words that often go hand in hand in culinary discussions, especially among cooking and food and wine enthusiasts. The question of fat content in salmon is crucial not only for those following a specific diet but also for those trying to maintain a balanced and healthy diet. Understanding the nature of the fats present in salmon and their impact on our diet is essential for making informed food choices.

Salmon are fatty

Salmon is renowned for its high content of good fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients are essential for our bodies, as they help keep the heart healthy, reduce inflammation and support brain development. However, it is important to distinguish between the different types of salmon available on the market, as their fat content can vary significantly.

The wild salmonfor example, tends to have a lower fat content than farmed salmon. The latter, in fact, is often fed with diets with a high lipid content to accelerate its growth, resulting in a greater accumulation of fat. Despite this, farmed salmon remains a good source of omega-3, but it is also true that it can contain higher levels of contaminants and additives than its wild counterpart.

It is also relevant to consider the cooking method, as it can influence the final fat content of the dish. Cooking methods such as to grill or the steam cook tend to preserve the omega-3 content of salmon, while techniques such as fry they can increase the content of saturated and trans fats, less health benefits.

For those interested in experimenting with a healthy and tasty way of preparing salmon, I recommend trying the recipe for baked salmon au gratin, which combines the nutritional benefits of salmon with a cooking method that preserves its qualities.

In short, salmon is a fish that stands out for its high content of good fats, in particular omega-3, which play a crucial role in our diet. However, it is essential to make informed choices regarding the type of salmon and cooking method to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks associated with its consumption. As we have seen, salmon offers not only nutritional advantages but also great versatility in the kitchen, making it a precious ingredient for anyone who wants to follow a healthy and balanced diet.
