Solyanka with smoked meats, classic mixed meat

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook a delicious mixed meat hodgepodge with smoked meats? Very simple. You just need to follow the recipe. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. I used beef shank, but you can use any other part on the bone. You can replace hunting sausages with regular smoked sausage.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place washed beef on the bone, smoked pork ribs, peeled whole onion, olives and peppercorns into boiling water. Cook over medium heat, skimming off the foam, for 1 hour. Adjust the amount of water to your taste. If you want a thicker soup, take about 2.5 liters of water, taking into account that some will evaporate during cooking.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the broth is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Cut the hunting sausages into slices.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the carrots into semicircles. If the diameter of the carrot is small, you can simply cut it into circles.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the cucumbers into cubes. If you have gherkins, like I do, you can cut them into slices. If you wish, you can replace the pickled cucumbers with pickled ones.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the second onion and cut into small cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grate the tomatoes on a fine grater, cutting off the skin. You can use canned chopped tomatoes in their own juice.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the pork ribs and beef from the broth. Separate the meat from the bones and cut into small pieces. Throw away the bones.

9. STEP 9

   

   Return the chopped meat to the broth and return to a boil over medium heat.

10. STEP 10

    

    Heat a third of the butter in a frying pan and fry the carrots for 5-7 minutes. Then transfer it to the pan.

11. STEP 11

    

    Next, heat another third of the butter and fry the onion until transparent. Also transfer it to the pan.

12. STEP 12

    

    Next add the chopped sausages and capers. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan, add chopped tomatoes, chopped pickles and tomato paste. Simmer, stirring for 5 minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Transfer the roast to a saucepan. Add bay leaves, salt to taste and simmer the soup over low heat for 30 minutes. If desired, pour in some olive or cucumber brine.

15. STEP 15

    

    Remove the pan from the stove, cover with a lid and let the hodgepodge stand for 10 minutes.

16. STEP 16

    

    Then pour the soup into bowls, adding a slice of lemon and some herbs to each. Bon appetit!

I looked into the refrigerator, getting ready to prepare a classic mixed meat solyanka with smoked meat recipe, and then I realized that I was missing some ingredients. I decided not to be upset and make a hodgepodge from what was at hand. Moreover, Solyanka implies the use of a variety of meat products, often those left over after festive feasts. It is limited to pork ribs, smoked sausage, vegetables, tomato paste and spices. First of all, I set the pork ribs broth to boil, after an hour I took out the bones, cooled them, cut the meat into pieces and returned them to the broth, and removed the bones. I added fried onions, carrots, fried tomatoes, cucumbers and tomato paste, sausage, salt, spices, and bay leaves to the broth. Cooked for another 30 minutes. Then she removed it from the heat and let it brew for 10 minutes. The dish turned out bright with rich color and taste, spicy, aromatic, satisfying and very tasty! I would eat it every day! My husband also really liked it. I recommend everyone to prepare hodgepodge using this wonderful recipe! Thank you so much!

The recipe is not bad. It was a discovery for me that you can cook olives for such a long time and they won’t get overcooked. You can take more different smoked meats, it won’t ruin the hodgepodge.
