Okroshka. It’s a Russian summer soup served cold and slightly effervescent made with ham, boiled potatoes, raw cucumbers and radishes, served in a “broth” made of kvass (children’s beer made from fermented black rye bread) with a little smetana or buttermilk and oh my god so much dill. It’s still a pretty strange dish to me after having eaten it many times.
Never heard of it, but the ingredients make it sound amazingly good. Gotta try it.
sounds crazy enough
Kvass is yummy. It's either not hopped or not hopped very much. I get some every time I go to the closest big international market. I keep meaning to make some. The recipe is basically put bread in water, add sugar, wait, it's ready in two or three days.
Yeah. In the summer Russians have big tanker trucks of kvass on the streets, similar to what we use to transport gasoline in here in the states, and you bring like an empty two liter and give em a coin and they fill it up for you.
I took Russian in high school and the teacher made kvass for us. It was ok...
What does it taste like?
Is smetana like sour cream?
It's closer to mexican crema, but little sourer, like you mixed in a little sour cream.
Thats cool, I asked because sour cream in Romanian is smoantana which seemed similar to smetana
