Do I need to salt okroshka. Okroshka cooked with kefir whey
Good afternoon, our dear readers. In the last issue, we talked about how to cook delicious homemade kvass. And now we will find out how okroshka is prepared on kvass. This dish is known to everyone, at least in our country, especially in Siberia.
How to save yourself from the heat, while eating a hearty meal - okroshka. Usually a housewife takes almost everything that is left a little bit from the refrigerator, cuts it with salad and pours it, for example, with kvass. Here's the crumble.
Of course, in addition to kvass, you can also use whey, you can use water with vinegar, mayonnaise, sour cream, and so on. This is for an amateur. Most of all, in the summer we prefer to make okroshka on kvass.
It is better to choose fresh products for okroshka. But kvass is best taken at home, which is well infused. And if there is none, then you can also store it, but it is better to choose natural, on live fermentation. Then okroshka on kvass will turn out what you need.
Here are a few recipes that we make ourselves from time to time. Very tasty and satisfying, we advise you to try such recipes. And let's start with the classics, okroshka with sausage.
Classic - okroshka on kvass with sausage.
The number of ingredients is given in full three-liter pan. This, of course, without kvass. Well, the amount of kvass is at the discretion, everyone loves it differently, for some it is thick, for others it is liquid. And the number of servings will be different.
If you love this cold soup not very thick, then reduce the amount of ingredients. If the okroshchnaya mass remains the next day, then it can be stored in the refrigerator. It won't affect the taste in any way.
We will need:
- Boiled sausage - 300 gr;
- Potatoes - 4 - 6 pieces (depending on size);
- Egg - 5 pcs;
- Fresh cucumber - 4 pcs (small);
- Radish - 250 - 300 gr;
- Green onions - a bunch;
- Dill - 0.5 bunch;
- Parsley - 0.5 bunch;
- Grated horseradish - 2 tbsp. spoons;
- Mustard - 2 tbsp. spoons;
- Salt - to taste;
- Sour cream - for serving;
- Kvass - 1.5 - 2 liters.
Any hostess knows that the amount of ingredients is a very relative concept. So, cucumbers and potatoes can be both very small and extremely large.
Therefore, in this case, the “eye” is the most basic measure. Everything should be about the same. Okroshka is good because it has a lot of things. Therefore, we put "a lot" of everything.
Only from quality and delicious food you will get a quality and tasty okroshka.
Sausage is better to take without fat. The Ostankinskaya or Doctorskaya variety is well suited, preferably in a natural casing.
Cut it into small cubes.
Sometimes cooked with semi-smoked sausage and even fried. But I believe that this is already for gourmets. Plain boiled sausage usually used in our okroshka recipe.
Pre-cooked and cooled potatoes cut into medium-sized cubes. In order for it to be easily cut, it must be thoroughly cooled. Then the cubes will be even and will not stick to each other.
If possible, cut all the ingredients to the same size. So the dish will look more aesthetically pleasing.
Step 3
Boil eggs, cool cold water and cut into cubes. To make this easier, use an egg cutter. In this case, the cubes will turn out to be slightly smaller than the others in the cut, but our cold soup will look more beautiful.
Rinse the radishes thoroughly, cut off the tails and on both sides and clean as needed. As mentioned above, it is better to purchase fresh, medium-sized radishes. Such a vegetable is juicy, strong, moderate bitter-sweet taste. Just the way you need it.
Overripe specimens are already too bitter, besides, they are often empty inside, and their skin is very tough and fibrous. It is better not to use such a radish in a dish.
The same goes for cucumbers. It is better to take them in medium or small size. Such fruits with a thin skin, seeds have not yet formed in them, they have a sweetish fresh taste and a wonderful smell.
Cucumbers cut into cubes standard size, as other components were also cut.
Step 6
Greens also chop, if necessary, cutting off the rough stems.
Put all the ingredients after cutting into a saucepan.
Cut the green onion as usual, transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Grind with a mortar until juice appears.
If you just chop the onion and pour it into the total mass, it will just float in the soup, and taste a little when we eat. The grated onion will release juice, and this juice will nourish literally every piece cut into a tiny mass. Needless to say, this will significantly improve the taste of the dish as a whole.
Add mustard and horseradish to the onion, and grind it all together. Add a spoon or two, adjust yourself. But I will say right away, even adding two tablespoons of both, you will not feel this in the dish. It won't be sharp.
In general, in the preparation of a real tasty okroshka, there are no extra steps. Everything is necessary and important! Sometimes they say - “What’s there, I crumbled everything, but poured it with kvass ...” I won’t argue, it will also be okroshka, but try to do it once according to the rules, as they have been cooking since ancient times, then you will feel the difference. Not for nothing because it has a name - classic! So, there are certain requirements for its preparation, there are also certain rules for preparation.
Step 9
Now add the pounded mass to the general cutting. Salt to taste and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to chill the mass.
Now, as for kvass. In the old days, white unsweetened kvass was prepared specially for the dish, it was prepared from wheat raw materials.
You can also use purchased kvass, but preferably good, live fermentation. But it is advisable to use home-made kvass, of our own production.
The main thing is to cool the kvass in the refrigerator.
Well, now that everything is chopped and chilled, it's time to set the table. Be sure to put mustard and horseradish on the table. Although we put all this into the total mass, but someone may want to add. Also, do not forget to put sour cream, it will need to be put on everyone's plate for sure.
Of course, you need bread, fresh herbs. Well, you can put fresh garlic on the table. A bite with brown bread, it will be very tasty!
Divide salad mixture among plates. Do not regret, put more. And pour it with cold kvass, be sure to flavor it with sour cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Okroshka with chicken and beef (veal).

Russian okroshka is such an amazingly tasty dish that you will never get tired of. It is served with different fillings (dressing), and some even say “sauce”. Everyone has different preferences and tastes, someone does not accept okroshka with kefir, someone eats only with whey, and for whom the favorite is okroshka with kvass. Many make okroshka with lemon juice, mineral water, someone even seasons with mayonnaise.
Recently, okroshka recipes with such sour-milk drinks as tan and ayran are increasingly common. I personally have not tried this okroshka, probably also tasty.
Each gas station has its own certain nuances and pluses.
Dressing based on kvass, or okroshka on kvass
Dressing on kefir for okroshka
In order to make such a dressing, you need to dilute kefir with boiled water, because kefir is thick. You can use mineral water. The proportions are: 1:2, i.e. to
Ether must be taken twice as much as water. At the same time, sour cream is also added to such okroshka.
Dressing with mustard in the preparation of okroshka
Such a dressing is considered dry, and it gives such a piquant taste. It is advisable to use in combination with kvass.
We will need:

2. Add mustard, salt, sugar to the yolks. Next, add kvass and mix everything thoroughly.
3. Before serving, dilute this mixture with the main main amount of kvass. Such an unusual filling for okroshka will turn out!
Mayonnaise dressing
I know that if you try to dissolve mayonnaise in water, it will not dissolve well. Therefore, if you are making okroshka with mayonnaise, then it is better to take your own homemade mayonnaise.
If, nevertheless, you took store-bought mayonnaise, then put it directly into the mixture of vegetable, egg and sausage ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly. Next, pour water mixed with lemon juice into the okroshka (1/3 of a lemon is used for 0.5 liters of water, meaning lemon juice). If you follow these steps, then store-bought mayonnaise will definitely dissolve well in okroshka.

A few secrets for a good okroshka
What is needed for okroshka? For starters, good homemade kvass. To prepare it, you will need sourdough. It can be made from a mixture of wheat, buckwheat and rye flour, as well as barley and rye malt. Malts should be fermented with mint.
Good kvass has a whitish hue and a sour taste.
Of course, okroshka can be prepared with store-bought kvass. But the experience of this dish is a little different.
Put meat or poultry in the right okroshka. Especially tasty is okroshka on beef, chicken or turkey meat. It is better to use varieties of meat that do not have too much fat. It still turns out very satisfying.
Meat is not always on the list of what you need for okroshka. For quick cooking, boiled sausage can be used instead of sausage.
Cut all the ingredients included in the dish equally. You can do it with straws, or you can do it with cubes. Stick to one style of slicing to make the okroshka look prettier.
Prepare the dressing for the dish. Separate the whites from the yolks. Grind the yolks together with spicy mustard. Add sugar to the mixture, stir. Add sour cream and some kvass. Then stir the dressing properly.
Before you add green onions to the okroshka, you can grind it along with table salt. So he will allocate more juice and okroshka will become more fragrant.
There is a way to fill okroshka well, very quickly and not mess with kvass. We will need very carbonated mineral water and kefir. You need to mix the dressings 1 to 1. You also need to squeeze lemon juice into the dish, and add sour cream as a sauce. Salt everything. The dressing needs to be slightly brewed separately, then it can be poured with vegetables, meat and eggs chopped for okroshka.
There is also a very masculine variation of okroshka, which cannot be called ordinary for the Russian ear. In addition to standard cucumbers and radishes, potatoes, eggs and meat, it also includes 50 g of shrimp. You need to pour such a little dark beer.
