Hotchpotch with sausage and meat classic recipe
1
Hodgepodge is not just a soup, it is a real feast of flavours, perfect for lunch. Thanks to pickled cucumbers and lemon, the dish acquires a special sourness that goes well with the rich meat flavour of smoked meats. And just imagine the mouth-watering aroma — it's all thanks to the spices and smoked sausages that turn solyanka into a true masterpiece.
Solyanka variations
Solyanka can be easily varied to suit your preferences. Add capers instead of olives or use beef and pork instead of chicken. For those looking for lighter options, there is a vegetarian version with mushrooms instead of sausage.
Secrets of tenderness and taste
To make your meat tender, cook it over low heat. Add cucumbers 10 minutes before it is ready so that they remain juicy and do not overcook. For maximum flavour, let the solyanka steep for 15-20 minutes after cooking.
Tips on ingredients
Pay attention to the cucumbers — it is better to use salted ones rather than pickled ones for the authentic taste. Choose smoked sausage for a deeper aroma, and the tomato paste should be of high quality, without excess sugar to preserve the natural taste.
Small culinary nuances
Sip the brine slowly, adding it gradually to taste. It is better to squeeze the olives before adding them, and serve the sour cream separately so that everyone can add the desired amount.
