Instructions
Step 1
First you need to prepare the meat. It is washed, unsightly places are removed, films, excess fat are cut off, washed again under running water. Peel carrots and onions. Prepared meat is poured with water and put on fire. A peeled onion and 1-2 carrots are added to the water, which can be coarsely chopped. They will give the broth a beautiful golden color.
Step 2
Bring water with meat to a boil, add peppercorns and leave to simmer for 2-3 hours. In the process of cooking, the foam must be removed, in this case the broth will be beautiful, transparent, fragrant. At the end of the broth boiling, in about 10 minutes, you need to put a bay leaf. Lavrushka leaves can be removed after the hodgepodge is completely ready.
Step 3
While the broth is being prepared, sausage, sausages, smoked meats and onions are finely chopped. Cut a cucumber into cubes or small strips. Meat is taken out of the finished broth, finely chopped. 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil are heated in a frying pan, sausage, smoked meats and boiled meat are fried for 3-4 minutes. Then add onions and finely chopped pickles. A mixture of vegetables and meat is stewed for 5-10 minutes, then tomato paste is put into a frying pan.
Step 4
While the cut is stewed, cut a lemon into half rings or a quarter of a ring, take out olives from the jar. If the olives are large, then they can be cut with a knife. Put the “stuffing” from the frying pan into the broth, add olives and let the hodgepodge boil for 10-15 minutes over medium heat. It is customary to serve hot hodgepodge with a slice of lemon, finely chopped herbs and a spoonful of thick sour cream.
