Lenten pickle with barley and pickles

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook rassolnik with barley and pickles without meat? Prepare all the indicated products. You can use pickled cucumbers to taste. I usually cook Lenten soup with pickles. From the specified number of ingredients I got a thick soup. If you like thinner soups, then reduce the amount of barley and potatoes or increase the amount of water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the pearl barley several times until the water is clear. Next, you can soak the cereal, or immediately begin further preparation (in this case, you need to boil the cereal a little longer than indicated in the recipe). Fill the pearl barley with cold water and leave it this way for 30-40 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   During this time, move on to other products. Peel the onions, carrots and garlic. Rinse everything together with the tomatoes in cold water and dry. You can peel the tomato if you wish; I usually don’t do this. Cut the carrots into small cubes or strips, chop the onion and garlic as finely as possible. Chop the tomato in any way convenient for you (slices, cubes, etc.).

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan. Send the onions and carrots to fry.

5. STEP 5

   

   After 1-2 minutes, add the tomato and garlic to the frying. Stirring, leave in the pan for another 3-5 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the barley in a saucepan, add a small amount of water and boil until half cooked. This will take you 20-25 minutes. Drain off the remaining water.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the pickled cucumbers into small cubes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place pearl barley and potatoes, cut into cubes or cubes, into the pan.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the specified amount of water and place on the stove. After boiling, reduce the flame to moderate and simmer covered for 10 minutes. Open the lid slightly to allow steam to escape.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the roast, bay leaf and cucumbers into the pan. If desired, pour in a small amount of cucumber brine. Mix everything and cook for another 10-20 minutes (until the cucumbers are soft). Taste the soup for salt, add more salt if necessary and add a pinch of your favorite spices. Turn off the stove, cover the pan with a lid and let it brew for a while.

11. STEP 11

    

    The pickle is ready. Offer everyone a plate of fresh herbs, finely chopped and ground black pepper.

I wanted to cook a light soup not with meat broth, but with water. I liked the recipe for Lenten pickle on the website with pearl barley and pickled cucumbers. It wasn’t difficult to cook such a pickle, and it didn’t take much active time to prepare. I had all the necessary ingredients. I cut the carrots and potatoes with a curly knife to make the soup look even more elegant. My daughter doesn’t like pieces of tomatoes in ready-made food, so I added coarsely grated tomato. The pearl barley was pre-soaked for about 40 minutes, after which it was boiled for half an hour. The only spices I added were salt, bay leaf and black pepper. I used homemade pickles. In addition to the cucumbers themselves, I also added brine to the soup. The pickle turned out very appetizing and aromatic! It has a very bright and rich taste, despite the fact that it was boiled in water. My soup turned out to be medium thick because I cooked it in 2 liters of water. The whole family was very pleased with the dinner. Pearl, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

For my dad, I cooked a Lenten pickle with barley and pickles. It differs from the usual one only in the absence of meat. But even on water, the pickle turned out tasty and aromatic! I soaked the barley in advance for about 3 hours. Then washed and boiled until tender. I combined the chopped potatoes with pearl barley and continued to cook until the potatoes were ready. Fry onions, garlic and carrots until golden brown and have an appetizing aroma. The tomatoes were frozen, so I added them straight into the pan, otherwise they would have turned into mush. I have homemade pickled cucumbers, I decided to cut them into quarters for variety. Boiled everything together for about 10 minutes on low heat and let it brew for a little while, covered. The soup came out rich and delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

An excellent Lenten pickle, but I would remove the potatoes from it. He would be more useful then

Thank you! This is just the right diet for me))) Excellent lean pickle, aromatic, sour, I really loved it. Sometimes I put rice instead of pearl barley, and it doesn’t turn out too bad either.
