Description
Braising is a cooking method that involves the use of moisture and heat to break down connective tissue in tougher cuts of meat.
Technical
The Maillard reaction occurs during the browning process, contributing to the development of flavor and aroma. The use of acidic ingredients, such as tomatoes or wine, can help to break down proteins and tenderize the meat. The addition of aromatics, such as onions and garlic, can enhance the flavor of the dish.
