What products are needed for okroshka

Let's be clear: okroshka requires invigorating fragrant, sour, but by no means sweet kvass. Purchased kvass can be brought to the desired state by adding a couple of crusts of black or Borodino bread to it and letting it brew in a warm place for about three hours. Strain, cool and get almost the same kvass as it should be.

Okroshka can be cooked on refreshing kvass, there is okroshka on delicate whey, for a change, you can cook okroshka on spicy ayran or soft kefir, and fish okroshka is sometimes even poured with beer. Okroshka can also be filled with just mineral water.

For satiety, put meat or sausage in okroshka. It is preferable to use lean meat: boiled beef is perfect for making okroshka, you can put chicken or turkey, some put boiled tongue. If there is no meat, the easiest solution is to cook okroshka with boiled sausage.

Boiled eggs can be put in okroshka, cut into cubes, or cut only the protein, and prepare dressing from the yolk. To do this, grind the yolks with mustard, add sour cream, sugar, salt to taste and mix with a small amount of kvass.

Okroshka is a traditional dish of Russian cuisine, otherwise cold soup. It owes its origin to the word "crush". As ingredients, it can use boiled meat of one or several varieties, fish, fresh vegetables, or boiled, salted mushrooms and herbs.

Russian white kvass has traditionally always been used as a dressing. It, unlike bread, should not be sweet.

And recently they began to cook on kefir, and on yogurt, and on whey, and on sour cream, with and without the addition of water. And also birch kvass, non-sweet kombucha, mineral water, cucumber pickle and even beer can be used as a liquid component.

For thickness and extra flavor, this cold soup is seasoned with sour cream and mayonnaise is added.

In the summer, it is simply unthinkable to imagine any Russian table without this cold soup. I know families where throughout the season, it just doesn't translate into the kitchen. The refrigerator always has chopped ingredients and kvass or kefir for them.

Although I must say that they are preparing it not only in Russia. Just cooked on kefir, it owes its origin to the countries of Central Asia. We lived there for a long time, and always cooked this dish (chalop in Uzbek) only on kefir, or we stirred thick suzma with water and used it as a dressing.

Now this cold soup on kefir is firmly established here in Russia. And it is being made more and more often. And this is no coincidence, it turns out very tasty. However, like any other type of okroshka.

If you have kvass, and meat and vegetables are cooked in advance, then cooking this cold soup will not take more than 15 minutes.

We will need:

• boiled beef - 300 gr
• boiled potatoes - 3 - 4 pieces
• boiled eggs - 4 - 5 pcs
• fresh cucumbers - 4 pieces (medium)
• green onion - 100 gr
• parsley, dill - 50 gr each
• sour cream - 1 cup
• sugar - 0.5 tsp
• salt - to taste
• kvass - 1.5 liters

Cooking:

This summer dish in the old days, as a rule, was prepared from the meat that remained from previous dishes. And often in the composition of the ingredients in old recipes you can find the meat of boiled pig, turkey and black grouse. Now, in addition to meat, they cook it with sausage and chicken.

And today we will use boiled beef. Although there are also recipes where you can find fried meat, and this is also allowed.

Or you can cook with different types of meat.

1. And so, our beef is already boiled and cooled in the refrigerator. Chilled meat will be easier to cut.

You can cut the ingredients both in cubes and in short straws (1.5 - 2 cm). Choose the method of your choice.

Cut beef into cubes. I choose this cutting method.

2. Potatoes and eggs must also be boiled in advance, cooled and cut into cubes.

3. Cut and chop green onions. Leave half of the onion, and grind the other half with salt until the juice appears.

4. Cut the cucumber into cubes. If it has a thick peel, then it is best to peel it.

Combine ingredients.

5. Chop the parsley and dill.

6. Put mashed green onions, chopped parsley, mustard, sugar and salt into sour cream. Mix everything thoroughly.

7. Then dilute the sour cream with a small amount of kvass and add all the other chopped ingredients.

8. Put in the refrigerator for at least half an hour, and preferably longer, so that all the ingredients exchange juices, and the cucumbers are slightly salted.

9. Then take out and add the remaining kvass and dill.

10. Pour into plates and serve. Put additional sour cream on the table, for those who wish, you can always add it.

You can also use radishes in the recipe. Add it as you wish.

If you cook okroshka for a reserve, for several times, then it is better not to dilute it with kvass all at once. Let it stand in the refrigerator, as it was placed at the beginning. And already when serving, add kvass with dill to each plate.

Adjust the amount of kvass added yourself. Everyone prefers this dish of different density. Someone likes to have a spoon in the soup, and someone vice versa, so that it is thinner.

The same applies to mustard, it should also be put on the table. At will, for the sharpness of taste, everyone will add it to himself.

Classic okroshka on kvass with sausage

Today, perhaps this method is one of the most popular of all available. And this is understandable, the meat does not need to be boiled in advance. And sausage is sold in each of the meat departments. Therefore, it is very convenient. After work on Friday, I ran into the store, bought everything I needed, and went to the dacha. And there you can already easily and simply cook this cold Russian soup.

How to cook I already wrote in one of the articles. Therefore, today we will focus on the recipe with kvass.

We will need:

• sausage - 300 gr
• boiled potatoes - 3 - 4 pieces
• boiled eggs - 4 - 5 pcs
• fresh cucumbers - 4 pcs (medium)
• green onion - 100 gr
• parsley, dill - 50 gr each
• radish - 250 gr
• sour cream - 1 cup
• sugar - 0.5 tsp
• salt - to taste
• mustard - 0.5 tsp (or to taste)
• kvass - 1.5 liters

To prepare the dish, you need to decide on the choice of sausage. Well, firstly, buy it better than good quality. The more expensive the sausage, the more meat it contains. We need only 300 grams, so the difference in whether to buy it more expensive or cheaper will be a very small amount.

Not so long ago, I heard this remark: “Why use expensive sausage? After all, in the dish you won’t even notice what it is!” I won't even comment on this thread. In the end, the choice is always a personal action of everyone.

Secondly, it should not be greasy. You can choose varieties such as "Doctor" or "Ostankino".

You can also cook with smoked or semi-smoked sausage. Among my friends there are lovers of cooking a dish with just such a sausage. And some use semi-smoked lean meat. And of course, there are those who cook it with boiled sausages. Why not?!

But again, choose only good quality sausages.

Cooking:

1. Cut into cubes or short (1.5 - 2 cm) straws boiled potatoes and eggs, as well as cucumbers and sausage.

One of my good friends, some of the cucumbers are grated, and some are cut. Okroshka is thicker and more aromatic. Try it, maybe you will like this method.

2. Chop green onions and parsley with dill.

3. Mix sour cream with sugar, salt and mustard.

4. Combine all the ingredients and mix them with sour cream. Add a little kvass and send to the refrigerator to infuse for at least 30 minutes.

5. After that, put the chilled mass into portioned plates, and pour the right amount of kvass, as you like - thicker or thinner.

Put additional sour cream and mustard on the table so that everyone can add as much as they want.

If desired, mayonnaise can also be added to okroshka, so it turns out to be more nutritious. But this is no longer the classic way, since mayonnaise came into our lives not so long ago. In any case, not like the recipes for this cold soup themselves.

Video on how to cook cold summer soup on kvass

We shot this video specifically for this recipe. In it you can not only learn all the secrets of cooking, but also see the entire cooking process.

It turns out okroshka is simply divinely delicious. On a hot summer day, this is the best dish for a meal.

As you can see, the recipe itself is nothing special, but a few small recipes help to make an ordinary dish really tasty.

Cook and eat with pleasure. And we will be glad to see you among our subscribers. There are already a lot of interesting recipes on the channel, and they are being added. So click on the bell so you don't miss them.

Okroshka recipe on kefir and water

Cold kefir soup can be cooked with any meat. It can be boiled or fried beef or pork, chicken or sausage or smoked meat.

I have already mentioned in one of the articles. And today let's cook it with boiled meat.

We will need:

• boiled meat - 350 gr
• cucumbers - 3 - 4 pcs
• radish - 250 gr (optional)
• boiled potatoes - 4 pieces
• boiled egg - 5 pieces
• greens dill and parsley - 100 gr each
• green onion - 100 gr
• salt - 1 tbsp. spoon
• kefir - 1.25 liters
• sour cream - 1 cup
• boiled chilled water - 2 liters

Cooking:

1. Boil the meat in advance and cool in the refrigerator. Chilled, it will be easier to cut into cubes. Well, cut it, of course.

2. Also cut into cubes cucumbers, boiled cold potatoes and eggs. Try to cut everything with the same cubes so that the appearance of the dish is aesthetically beautiful.

It can be cut not into cubes, but into short strips. Here is a matter of taste.

3. Also cut the radish. Not everyone likes it in a dish, so add it if you wish. Its color will be positive along with the presence of white and green.

On the second day, the radish will lose its color, but will give the dish the necessary sharpness. I always add it to this dish and have already taught this to many of my friends who did not like to do this before.

Mix all chopped ingredients.

4. Cut the onion and chop the greens, removing the coarse stems.

5. Pour the mixture with kefir and sour cream, salt and leave in a cold place for 30 - 60 minutes so that all the ingredients are slightly acidified and salted.

6. Pour cold boiled water, which is boiled in advance and cooled in the refrigerator.

Ready okroshka can be poured into plates and eaten with pleasure.

Here, however, there are options.

I like to pour water and kefir all the chopped mass at once. I cook a lot, usually a five-liter pan. We need it for two days. So on the second day, when it turns slightly sour, it becomes even tastier.

But many keep cutting separately, and water and kefir separately. And mix everything just before use.

You can't say which is better here. For everyone it turns out differently. Therefore, try to cook once according to the first option, and the second time according to the second. Try it and decide which option you like best. This is how you will cook later.

The same applies to the meat component. Add the meat that you prefer, or just the one that is in the refrigerator. It turns out very tasty if you add two or three different types of meat products and chicken.

It is very tasty to serve such a cold soup with black bread and fresh garlic. Eat right on the bite. I am writing now, and I feel the taste of all this pleasure. And at least now I'm ready to go to the kitchen to cook.

Cold soup with whey and kefir

On a hot summer day, what could be better than cold okroshka! Sometimes you come home from work in a crowded transport, and all you can think about is only about her!

And if you have taken care of it in advance, and chopped and mixed ingredients are waiting for you in the refrigerator, as well as whey and kefir, or sour cream, or just whey, then consider that your most ardent desire will come true almost instantly as soon as you cross the threshold of your house.

In fact, there is nothing new in the preparation of summer whey soup. Everything is done in exactly the same way as in the other options, and all ingredients are used in the same proportions. The only thing is that serum is used as a liquid base. Optionally, kefir or sour cream, or the same mayonnaise is added.

In order not to repeat myself in the recipes, I decided to include a video with the recipe in the article. Watch a short video on how it's done.

It's so simple and easy to cook a delicious cold soup, which is found just on Hooray! on a hot summer day!

And whey can always be bought at the store, or you can cook it yourself. It's also easy to prepare. First you need to make curdled milk by fermenting milk with sour cream or kefir. Leaving it in the kitchen overnight will ferment the milk. Then it must be warmed up, it will begin to curdle and at the same time the whey will snap off.

Then place the contents in a colander lined with gauze. And wait for the serum to drain. Cool it first at room temperature and then in the refrigerator.

Pleasant to the taste, with a slight sourness, cold whey is ready for use. You can just drink it, or use it, as in our recipe.

Diet okroshka on kefir and mineral water with chicken fillet

Usually, chicken breast or fillet is used to prepare this option. Such meat is almost lean, not at all fatty, and therefore this recipe can be used if a person is on a diet. Especially if you do not add potatoes to the composition of the ingredients.

We will need:

• chicken fillet - 2 pcs (250 - 300 gr)
• fresh cucumbers - 4 pcs
• radish - 200 gr
• green onions - 100 gr
• parsley, dill - 50 gr each
• eggs - 4 pcs
• kefir - 1 liter
• mineral water -0.5 liters
• salt - to taste

Cooking:

1. Boil chicken fillet or breast in salted water. For taste and aroma at the end of cooking, you can add a little chicken spices and bay leaf to the broth.

2. Remove the fillet, let the broth drain and send the meat to the refrigerator to cool it. Warm meat will be difficult to cut into even cubes or pieces, the fibers will frizz and fall apart. But cutting it cold is not difficult.

Cut the fillet into cubes with a side of 1 cm.

3. Cucumbers, eggs and radishes are also cut, it is desirable that all cuts be the same size. As you noticed, we use radishes in the recipe. It is added if desired, and gives the dish a certain spice, can be used instead of mustard.

I prefer to add radishes to this kefir dish, not mustard. Its taste, as well as color, brings pleasant taste and visual notes.

Who does not like this vegetable can exclude it from the recipe and do not add it to the dish!

4. Green onions and parsley with dill also cut into smaller pieces. It is better to remove coarse stems from greenery. They will in no way be combined in a dish with tender chicken fillet.

5. Mix all the ingredients and pour them with kefir. Add an incomplete glass of mineral water. Season with salt and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Salt add about 0.5 tablespoon, maybe a little less.

When the okroshka is infused and slightly fermented, the presence of salt can be tasted and salted additionally.

6. When ready, take out and arrange the mixture on plates. Add mineral water to your liking, as you like. Also add salt as needed.

Mineral water can be used both with gas and without it. It will be delicious either way. If there is no mineral water, then you can simply add ordinary boiled and chilled water. It is added at the rate of two to one. Per liter of kefir - 0.5 liters of water.

After the mixture has stood in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, you can immediately add the right amount of water to the pan, even if you intend to store it. But you can store just the mixture, and each time add the right amount of water. This is up to you.

It should be noted that when it is infused, it becomes tastier. All ingredients are impregnated with acid from kefir and, as it were, additionally salted.

Personally, I like it on the second day. She has a slight sharpness, just from the fermentation processes that occur in her.

In general, it turns out such okroshka is very tender and tasty! Even after brewing, the chicken fillet has its own unique taste. And the pieces of meat remain whole and unharmed.

As we remember, we prepared a dietary option, but if you add potatoes here, and a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise, then the cold soup will already turn out to be quite satisfying and nutritious.

Recipe for okroshka on water with mayonnaise

Sometimes you come to the country, and everything seems to be there for okroshka, except for the most important thing - kvass and kefir. And what to do? Do not give up on a hot summer day from such a pleasure. And that's when mayonnaise comes to the rescue.

And although many are against such a replacement, moreover, as soon as it comes to mayonnaise, they immediately begin to wave their hands, they say - wrong, very satisfying, and so on ...

But after tasting the cooked dish, all objections immediately disappear, and they ask for more supplements.

We will need:

• boiled meat or sausage - 300 gr
• fresh cucumber - 4 pieces (medium)
• boiled potatoes - 4 pcs
• boiled egg - 4 - 5 pcs
• lemon - 0.5 pcs
• green onion - 100 gr
• dill - 50 gr
• parsley - 50 gr
• mayonnaise - 200 gr
• sour cream - 200 gr
• cold boiled water - 2-2.5 liters
• salt - to taste

Cooking:

For the recipe, you can use either sausage or boiled meat. If you cook from sausage, then buy it only of good quality. This has already been discussed above. Such a delicious cold soup will turn out from half-smoked sausages. Therefore, if this is at hand, feel free to put it into action.

1. Boiled meat or sausage chilled in the refrigerator, or you can use both in equal proportions, cut into cubes.

Everyone cuts differently, and I like to cut the ingredients not very large. So, the whole cut is better saturated with liquid dressing, slightly fermented, and the dish itself turns out to be tastier.

2. Cut boiled potatoes, eggs and cucumbers in the same cubes. If the cucumber has a hard, tough skin, then it is better to peel it first.

3. Cut green onions, remove coarse stems from greens and chop. Slightly crush the green onions in your hands, but try not to lose their shape too much.

4. Combine all the ingredients and mix, salt to taste.

5. If you immediately eat everything that you have prepared, then add mayonnaise and sour cream, mix everything and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then take out the mixture, spread it on plates and add cold water to each to the desired degree of density. Also squeeze the juice from half a lemon. Mix and eat.

If you cook in reserve, then you don’t need to immediately mix with mayonnaise and sour cream. Keep the chopped mixture separately, and water, sour cream and mayonnaise separately.

It is best to mix all this just before use. You need to mix thoroughly so that all the mayonnaise and sour cream do not float later in the okroshka in lumps.

6. Sometimes they also keep onions and herbs separately, and add them also directly to the cup when you are already eating. In this case, it is believed that the onion gives an unnecessary smell and taste, and therefore it is added at the last moment.

Maybe so, as they say "to taste, to color ..." Personally, no extra smell bothers me.

7. Sometimes ice is also frozen, and cubes are added directly upon serving. Best served with black bread and fresh garlic bite.

In the recipe, as you have noticed, both mayonnaise and sour cream are used. But in general, if you want, you can use only one mayonnaise. But in this case, a lemon is required or you can replace it with water and vinegar.

To do this, mix a small amount of cold boiled water with vinegar, and mix. The water should taste slightly sour.

This is how we got the recipe.

Cold kefir soup for weight loss

And this is another recipe that will definitely not get better. And if you eat such a cold soup in the summer two to three times a week, you will also lose weight.

Similarly, in the Balkans, cold soup tarator is prepared.

We will need:

• cucumber - 2 - 3 pcs
• dill - 0.5 bunch
• parsley - 0.5 bunch
• garlic - 1 clove
• walnuts - 2 pcs
• kefir - 1 liter
• salt - optional and to taste

Kefir can be replaced with yogurt or matsoni.

Cooking:

1. Peel cucumbers and rub on a coarse grater. If the cucumbers are young and the crust is thin, then the peel can be made up.

2. Pass the garlic through a press. If you already have fresh garlic, then it is better to use it, it is stronger and more aromatic than the old one.

3. Rinse the greens, dry, cut off the rough stems and chop as finely as possible. If you like cilantro, you can use it instead of parsley.

4. Put all the ingredients in a suitable bowl and pour kefir. Stir and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

If you want, you can salt to taste. But it is better not to use salt.

5. When you eat, crush the nuts and sprinkle them on top. If you eat such okroshka 3 times during the day, you can lose up to 1 kg per day.

Also, thanks to this cold soup, it is very good to arrange fasting days.

Village Tyurya with radish

Now, few people cook such a curiosity, but in the old days, many peasant families ate it quite often. This is a very simple, and one might even say artless dish to prepare. It was often prepared for fasting, because despite its simplicity, it is quite satisfying and nutritious.

And this is not accidental, because it contains bread, hence its other name - suharnitsa. And I found another name for this dish, and it is called “murtsovka”. That's how interesting!

This variant of cold soup is prepared at one time, and that's all, no reserve. It's all about the radish, if it lies for a long time in kvass or water, it becomes tasteless. Yes, and the bread will go bad, and there will be not soup, but porridge.

In general, tyurya, suharnitsa and murtsovka are prepared from black bread, vegetable oil and water, or kvass. But we will add radish here, and we will have a prison with radish and bread.

We will need:

• black bread with crusts - 400 gr
• onion - 2 heads
• black radish - 1 pc.
• grated horseradish - 2 tbsp. spoons
• vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. spoons
• kvass white or bread - 2.5 cups
• salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

1. Cut brown bread with crusts into small cubes. You can even use slightly dried bread, hence the name "rusk".

2. Pour in oil and mix.

3. Cut the onion into small cubes. If you do not want too much bitterness, then replace the onions with green ones. This is perfectly acceptable in the recipe. If desired, fresh herbs such as parsley or dill can also be added to the tyuryu.

4. Grate the radish. But don't mix it with the rest of the ingredients just yet.

5. Mix bread, onion, grated horseradish. Salt and pepper.

6. Put on a plate and pour kvass. Put the radish, as many as you wish. Try to see if there is enough salt. If not, salt to taste.

Eat immediately.

Here is such a simple old Russian dish. Few people do it now. But I remember that in my husband's family they prepared such a dish, and I even had a chance to try it. I will say right away that my opinion is that the usual cold soup familiar to us is still better and tastier.

But for lovers of old Russian cuisine, this recipe may be interesting and useful.

These are the recipes gathered today in the article. As you can see, there are a lot of options, and even more variations. The main thing is that we tried to consider them as much as possible. And now the choice is yours.

The long-awaited warm summer days will come very soon, and then okroshka will become dish No. 1 on many tables. We will cook it often and a lot. That's when all the options and variations come in handy.

And there are actually quite a few of them. And the next article will be written about the numerous recipes for cooking on kvass.

And for those who are preparing okroshka today, bon appetit!

Okroshka is a traditional dish of Russian cuisine, which belongs to the category of cold soups. The main principle of the dish is the chopping of vegetables and meat, their further mixing and pouring with a liquid base. Such a base can be bread kvass (but not sweet), kefir, whey, water with mayonnaise, sour cream or vinegar. Kvass (and whey too) can be taken at home or purchased. There are no strict limits in terms of products, however, the classic recipe uses potatoes, boiled beef, fresh cucumbers, radishes, eggs and greens.

The traditional okroshka is prepared on kvass. Feel free to experiment and add or remove ingredients to your liking. Boiled meat is often replaced with sausage or ham; there are recipes where dried or salted dried fish is used instead of meat. Sometimes beets, carrots, turnips or turnips are added to okroshka. All this abundance of vegetables is usually generously flavored with herbs and aromatic spices. Meat for okroshka can be pre-boiled or fried. The general principle of preparing okroshka boils down to the fact that vegetables are first cut, then meat is added to them, after which okroshka is mixed with dressing, herbs and poured with kvass. Ideally, okroshka should stand for half an hour before pouring kvass over it. The finished dish is served with mustard, garlic, boiled eggs and rye bread.

Okroshka - preparing food and dishes

Raw meat is pre-boiled, then cooled and cut into small cubes. The rest of the ingredients are cut in the same way: potatoes, eggs, cucumbers and radishes. Potatoes and eggs should be boiled until tender and allowed to cool before being cut into okroshka. Chop greens and green onions. In advance, you need to prepare homemade bread kvass or buy a store-bought one.

From the dishes you will need a deep saucepan, a knife, a cutting board and in some cases a frying pan (if you need to fry the meat). Okroshka is served in deep bowls.

Dietary, lean okroshka

Cold spring summer soup helps out very well during fasting or weight loss, however, the ingredients will be different in each case. For dietary okroshka, it is enough to remove meat, sour cream, mayonnaise from the list of products, cook vegetable okroshka on fat-free kefir or whey. For lean okroshka, you can take greens and kvass, although the dish is unlikely to be very tasty (dairy products, meat and eggs are prohibited during fasting).

When preparing okroshka, first of all, you need to focus on your taste, put only your favorite vegetables and meat (sausage).

1. Potatoes can be boiled in the usual way, in their skins, baked in the oven or microwave.
2. Put eggs in salted boiling water, there are more chances that the shell will not crack.
3. Mix greens in any proportion, cut very finely, rub with a little salt until juice appears.
4. Dressing for salinity and spiciness is also done to your liking. You can acidify it with mayonnaise, diluted citric acid or lemon juice. Spices will add mustard and pepper.

And, most importantly, put a piece of your soul into cooking, then okroshka will become the most favorite spring dish!

Not only the ingredients of okroshka differ, but also the drink with which it is seasoned. In addition to the traditional unsweetened kvass, okroshka is made on mineral water, whey, meat broth, kefir, ayran, tan, yogurt, beer, brine and even ordinary water. There is no consensus on the correct filling, it all depends on your preferences.

In the recipes presented, the dressing goes well with the ingredients, but you can replace it to your liking. If you do not like the astringency of kvass, take mineral water. If you like dairy products, use them. The amazing taste of okroshka can hardly be spoiled.

Just do not forget: okroshka must certainly be chilled. So before serving, put it in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
