Okroshka is a cold soup that is popular at any time of the year. It can be cooked only with some vegetables or with the addition of meat products - lean boiled meat, sausage, ham.
Okroshka can be on kvass, kefir, sour cream. Lovers of savory taste make it in mayonnaise.
Subtleties
- For such okroshka, they take a standard set of vegetables: potatoes, radishes, cucumbers, greens. And also lay hard-boiled eggs. The taste of okroshka affects the way of cutting. All vegetables should be finely cut into equal pieces.
- Cucumbers and radishes can be grated. The juice of these vegetables will mix with the liquid component of okroshka and improve its taste.
- For refueling, it is advisable to use classic mayonnaise without any additives.
- So that it is well dissolved in okroshka, it is first mixed with chopped products and only then filled with water. If the mayonnaise is put into the finished okroshka, it will not stir, but will float in the form of small pieces, spoiling the appearance of the dish.
- Water for hash is used only boiled. Therefore, you need to boil it beforehand and cool it in the refrigerator.
- To add a pleasant acidity, citric acid, lemon juice or vinegar is put in the okroshka. Mustard gives it a savory taste, which is put together with mayonnaise.
- Okroshka is made immediately in a saucepan, so that she can infuse. If it is prepared in advance - for example, for the upcoming feast - the food is cut, mixed in a saucepan and then stored in the refrigerator. Do not salt. 1-2 hours before serving they put mayonnaise, salt, spices and dilute everything with cold water to the desired thickness. Instead of water, you can use mineral water.
