Instructions
Step 1
Cook the broth: rinse the bones with meat, add water and put on fire. Solyanka, and other soups, it is better to cook in a secondary broth, that is, drain the water at the first boil and refill the bones with water. When this water boils, add herbs, roots, carrots, cook until tender.
Step 2
Let's prepare "bress" - a special roast. Chop the onion, fry in a mixture of vegetable and butter, salt. Add tomato paste, stir. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep in the oven for about an hour and a half at 90-100 ° C. The finished frying is red and shiny.
Step 3
Moving on to the cold cuts. Cut the smoked meats into cubes, the more varied they are, the tastier the hodgepodge will be. Dry the whole cuts, with the exception of sausages, a little in a skillet - this helps to remove excess fat from them.
Step 4
Cut the cucumbers into strips, simmer a little in hot water. Heat the brine. Adjust the amount depending on your family's tastes and how salty the pickle is. Half a glass of brine for three liters of broth is quite enough.
Step 5
Put all the smoked meats in the broth, boil for about ten minutes. Add sausages, frying ("bress"). It is very easy to make a mistake with cooking capers - overcooked, they give the finished dish a bitter taste. Therefore, it is better to lay them about 10 minutes before the hodgepodge is ready. At the same time with the capers, you also need to pour in hot cucumber pickle.
Step 6
During cooking olives lose their rich delicate taste. It is better to put them on the bottom of the plate along with a slice of lemon, and then pour the hodgepodge. Serve with sour cream.
