Okroshka with Kvass: Recipe

Как приготовить окрошку с квасом - рецепт на английском языке

“Classic” okroshka is made with kvass (Russian bread drink), but is can also be made with kefir, mineral water, soda, or boiled water with citric acid. As for me, I think that variant with kvass is the most delicious. You can also use meat (beef or chicken) instead of sausage (bologna).

You will need the following ingredients:

·         2.5 litres kvass (not too sweet)

·         5 medium potatoes

·         4 eggs

·         2 medium cucumbers

·         300-400 g sausage (bologna, low-fat)

·         4-5 radishes, optional

·         green onion, dill, salt, sour cream — to taste

How to make okroshka with kvass

First of all, boil eggs. For hard-boiled eggs, cook them for about 10 minutes. At the same time, boil potatoes in their jackets. Meanwhile, chop vegetables and other ingredients: dice bologna and cucumbers, chop green onion and dill. Peel boiled potatoes and eggs, and dice them. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Salt to taste and add kvass. Now okroshka is ready to be served.
