According to Rimi Lithuania’s public relations manager, Laka Lesauskaitė-Remeikienė, preparing a dish featuring antiena can yield a meal that appears both substantial and luxurious for the entire family without exceeding budget constraints. She suggests that with a bit of time, the resulting meal can rival the quality of dishes served in high-end restaurants. A common point of comparison is whether to use antiena or chicken.
Lesauskaitė-Remeikienė notes that antiena differs from chicken not only in taste but also in nutritional composition. The meat from antiena is described as darker, possessing a richer flavor profile, and having a texture comparable to red meat. Nutritionally, antiena is a good source of iron, zinc, and B group vitamins, particularly B12, which is vital for both nerve function and blood cell creation.
While antiena contains more fat than chicken, this fat is primarily stored beneath the skin rather than within the muscle tissue itself. This characteristic means that by removing the skin or employing slow cooking methods, the meat retains a tender quality. The versatility of antiena allows for various preparations, such as a special stew incorporating grapes, offering a flavorful alternative to traditional chicken meals.
