How to make okroshka with water: nothing could be easier

18.05.2023 14:38

Gourmets and skeptics claim that real okroshka exists only in one form – on sour kvass. Everything else is not the same.

Enthusiasts disagree with this and prepare the dish with kefir and regular water. The latter recipe is also called "city okroshka".

No first course helps out as much as okroshka on a hot summer afternoon.

To prepare you will need:

  • green onions - bunch;
  • dill - bunch;
  • cucumber - 2-3 pcs.;
  • radish - 3-4 pcs.;
  • sausage - 100-150 gr;
  • eggs - 4-5 pcs.

How to cook

The eggs are peeled and diced, the onion is finely chopped, and the dill needs to be finely chopped and also crushed - this way it will release more juice and the food will be more flavorful.

Cucumbers and radishes need to be cut into cubes. From the meat perspective, smoked or boiled sausages are used, as well as hot dogs, frankfurters, and so on.

Any boiled or fried meat can also be used.

Then the ingredients are placed in a saucepan, filled with boiled cold water and lemon juice is added to taste.

Finally, season with sour cream and add salt to taste.

They say that when there is no kvass or kefir, this version of okroshka is better than a plate of hot and greasy borscht on a hot day.

Bon appetit!
