Solyanka meat mix at home. Step by step recipe:
In this recipe, I will tell you the main secrets of preparing a classic meat solyanka, for the preparation of which we will take cold cuts and beef. But you can take any other meat you have on hand (pork, lamb, and even poultry). The main thing is to take a part suitable for cooking a rich broth.
Ingredients:
- Water – 2.5 l.
- Pickled or pickled cucumbers – 3 pcs.
- Beef meat on the bone – 400 g
- Meat products (sausage, ham, boiled pork, etc.) – 300 g
- Onions – 2 pcs. and half for broth
- Tomato paste – 2 tbsp. l.
- Olives, pitted olives – 12-15 pcs.
- Lemon – 0.5 pcs.
- Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp. l.
- Sugar – 2 tsp.
- Salt to taste
- Spices, bay leaf
For the broth, I took a shank with a marrow bone. Wash the meat thoroughly, put it in a saucepan, fill it with cold water and turn on the stove. Then add half or a whole onion (we will simply throw it away later). Add only 1 teaspoon of salt to the broth!
We will add salt to our soup at the end of cooking, since many of the ingredients that we use to prepare it are salty.
When the broth boils, turn down the heat and skim off all the foam with a slotted spoon or a regular tablespoon. Then add spices, cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for about 1.5-2 hours.
In the meantime, let's prepare the remaining ingredients. Wash, peel the onion and cut it into small cubes.
We will also cut pickled or pickled cucumbers into small cubes. I use my own cucumbers. Recipes for marinating them can be found on this page.
Place the cucumbers and onions in a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry until the onions acquire a golden color.
Then add tomato paste and sugar. Yes, yes - sugar. This will make the taste of our dish more harmonious. Pour in some broth and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes.
Now let's cut the sliced meat into cubes. It can be any sausage, ham, bacon, etc. For this dish it is better to use 3-5 types of meat products, so it will be even tastier.
As soon as the broth is ready, remove the beef from the pan, cool, separate from the bones and cut into pieces. Cut the olives into slices. For this recipe, it is better to use pitted ones. I chose olives with lemon.
Place all the ingredients in the prepared broth, add your favorite spices, bay leaf and cook for 10 minutes. Now our soup can be salted to taste and boiled for another 2-3 minutes.
Our hodgepodge is ready. You can serve it by adding a lemon ring to each plate.
