Russian Okroshka - useful tips and tricks
• It happens that okroshka turns out more than you need for lunch. In this case, it is better to put the dry mixture in the container and not to dilute the soup completely. The ingredients will remarkably survive cold storage until the next day. You can fill the dry okroshka with mayonnaise or sour cream, serve as a salad for dinner.
• Eggs in okroshka often fall apart, the pieces lose their neat appearance. To avoid this, you can not mix them with the total mass, and lay individually in the plates. Okroshka with floating halves of boiled eggs looks interesting.
• If the cucumbers or radishes are hard, it is best to use a grater and not to cut the vegetables with a knife. Otherwise, hard pieces will impede the process of eating and will deprive pleasure.
• Cold soup will be much tastier and more fragrant if you chop all greens, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and then rub in a pestle in a bowl.
• Lemon is never superfluous in okroshka. You can simply add slices to the plates, squeeze out the juice or throw a little zest for flavor.
• In okroshka you can throw not only boiled, but also smoked sausage. The taste will be more interesting. Smoked chicken leg goes well with vegetables, but in this case it is better to remove the skin.
