Solyanka in pots in the oven with cabbage

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make hodgepodge in pots in the oven with cabbage? Prepare all the ingredients needed for the recipe. The amount of each component can be slightly increased or decreased to suit your taste. Instead of sausages, it is permissible to use smoked sausage or brisket, and replace pickled cucumbers with pickled ones.

2. STEP 2

   

   First of all, prepare the cabbage. If the cabbage is too sour, rinse it in cold water and squeeze it out. Add cabbage, butter and tomato paste to the pan. Mix everything and simmer, covered, over moderate heat until the cabbage is half cooked (about 30 minutes). During cooking, open the lid and check if the cabbage is burning. If necessary, add a quarter cup of boiling water.

3. STEP 3

   

   At this time, peel the potatoes, onions and carrots. Rinse the vegetables. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the onions and carrots until golden brown. Pour flour into the pan, mix everything and leave for another minute. You can omit flour from the recipe, but it makes the broth in the finished dish velvety.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the casing from the sausages. Cut cucumbers and sausages into slices. Chop the potatoes into small cubes or sticks.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the potatoes in clay pots.

7. STEP 7

   

   Next are sausages with cucumbers.

8. STEP 8

   

   Make the next layer of frying. Finally, place the cabbage and bay leaf into the pots.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour in the broth. Chicken broth or meat broth is perfect for hodgepodge. Do not pour the broth to the very edges, as the liquid expands during cooking and there is a risk that the broth will spill over the edges of the pots.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the hodgepodge in a slightly preheated oven. At 200 degrees, wait until the broth boils, then lower the temperature to 160-170 degrees and simmer the pots in the oven until the potatoes are ready. It took me about 1 hour 40 minutes. - 2 hours 10-15 minutes before the end of cooking, add chopped olives to the pots.

11. STEP 11

    

    Taste the prepared hodgepodge. If necessary, add salt. I usually don’t do this; there’s enough salt from cucumbers, cabbage and olives. When serving, offer each person a slice of lemon, fresh herbs and chopped garlic on a plate. Pepper to taste. Very tasty with sour cream.

Delicious soup! Relatives rated him 5 plus! To cook for two pots with a volume of 500 ml each, I took 150 g of sauerkraut, 1.5 potatoes, 1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 pickled cucumber, 2 bacon (instead of sausages). I made the broth very simply. I dissolved half a broth cube in 0.5 liters of hot water, this amount was enough to completely cover the contents of the pots. Without washing the cabbage, I put it in a frying pan greased with vegetable oil (I took it instead of butter). Added tomato paste, stirred, simmered under the lid for 30 minutes. Grated carrots, potatoes, onions, bacon, and cut the cucumber into small cubes. This cutting method seemed to me optimal for cooking in small pots. I sauteed the onions and carrots over low heat until the onions were transparent. Then I began to put the ingredients in the pots. I put potatoes on the bottom, then bacon and cucumber, and fried onions and carrots on them. Topped with stewed cabbage and bay leaf. I poured broth over everything. I cooked hodgepodge in pots in the oven with cabbage for 1 hour 40 minutes, covering the pots with lids. I added salt about an hour after the start of stewing, and also added a little hot water to the pots. The solyanka turned out thick and rich. The cabbage was boiled until soft, the potatoes were soft and retained their shape well, and the bacon had its own taste. Simply wonderful! Thank you so much for the recipe!
