Dishes with margarine - 255 cooking recipes

In many respects, margarine can be considered a complete replacement for butter. For example, culinary recipes that require adding butter can safely use margarine. Especially creamy margarine sold in paper wrappers. Margarine is also used to make sandwiches. There is a so-called sandwich margarine that is easily spread on bread. Unlike butter, sandwich margarine contains fewer calories and contains no animal proteins or fats. In addition, sandwich margarine does not crumble when spread. When the so-called margaric acid was discovered in 1813 by Michel Chevrel, margarine appeared. However, at that time it had not yet become a food product. This happened much later, in the sixties of the nineteenth century. Napoleon III, the French emperor, announced that he was offering a reward to the cook who would invent a worthy replacement for butter. The emperor's desire was determined, first of all, by the fact that the French army and the poor sections of the country's population needed cheap food. But many people couldn’t afford butter back then. In modern margarine, in addition to vegetable fats, animal fats can also be added. For example, milk powder or whey. However, in this case, this will be indicated on the packaging in the margarine composition.
