Russian food. Okroshka

Okroshka is a summer vegetable soup with kvas instead of meat broth. This spicy, cold Russian soup was a favorite of the rebellious Crimean government. The Ukrainian equivalent is called kholodnyk and there is some debate as to which ingredients compose the quintessential okroshka. All agree that its tangy taste comes from kvas, the pungent drink made from ferrmented bread which serves as its base. Many lovers find inspiration in the combination of diced potatoes, meat, radish, cucumber, green onion, and boiled egg, with milk and hearty helpings of both kvas and fresh dill.

Russian food okroshka



Serving Size : 6
Preparation Time :0:30

This chilled meat and vegetable soup is a popular Russian dish. It's served with ice cubes in it. Since there's no substitute for Russian Kvass, a fermented and slightly alcoholic liquid made from grain, the ingredients in this recipe will have to do.

You may substitute 3 c beef stock and 1 c white wine for the apple cider.

Dice meat. Peel and dice cucumber and eggs. Slice green onions. Combine first 4 ingredients. Mix together sugar, mustard, sour cream, and cider, and beat well. Add beef mixture and chill. Serve sprinkled with dill.


Olga Thomas notes My notes: I used apple juice and leftover corned beef, and it was wonderful. Absolutely addictive.
