Hodgepodge with sausage and potatoes
1
Our hodgepodge is a true culinary masterpiece, skilfully combining rich sour and salty flavours thanks to the contrast between pickled cucumbers and olives. A special highlight is the multi-layered meat bouquet made from various types of sausage products. This dish has a thick texture thanks to the potatoes, which makes it very filling. The perfect balance of flavours creates a real treat for your taste buds.
Variations
- You can add smoked ribs or brisket for more richness.
- Use salami or hunter's sausages instead of sausage.
- For a vegetarian option, replace the meat with mushrooms.
Secrets of tenderness and flavour
- Add the cucumbers 10 minutes before the dish is ready to keep them crisp.
- Fry the sausage separately until lightly browned.
- Sauté the tomato paste with the vegetables to bring out the flavour.
Tips on ingredients
- It is better to use cooked smoked sausage, as it has a richer flavour.
- There should be enough pickled cucumbers to add sourness, but do not overdo it.
- Cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes so that they do not overcook.
Small culinary nuances
- Add the cucumber brine gradually, tasting as you go.
- Solyanka tastes better the next day.
- Be sure to serve with sour cream and lemon.
