Preparation
Step 1
How to make classic okroshka with sausage? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Boil the potatoes in advance. Wash them well and put them into boiling water unpeeled - this helps preserve vitamins. Boil the potatoes for 25 minutes. Boil the eggs for 10 minutes after the water comes to a boil. Then leave them to cool in the same water they were cooked in. This keeps the whites tender and the yolks bright.
Step 2
Rinse the green onions well under running water, then pat dry with paper towels or a kitchen towel. Chop the onions.
Step 3
Put the onions into the bowl/container where you’ll make the okroshka. Add salt. Using a pestle (or any masher), mash the onions until they release juice. Okroshka made with mashed onions gets a stronger flavor and aroma.
Step 4
Rinse the dill under cold water and pat dry. Remove tough stems (it’s better not to use them). Finely chop the rest.
Step 5
Cool the boiled potatoes. Don’t use them warm - it will ruin the taste of the cold soup. Peel the potatoes and dice into small cubes.
Step 6
Cut the sausage into thin matchsticks. I prefer this cut for okroshka; I picked up the idea from a chef.
Step 7
Cool the eggs, peel them, and cut them into thin matchsticks as well.
Step 8
Trim the ends off the cucumber. If it has thick skin, peel it; young cucumbers don’t need peeling. Cut the cucumber into matchsticks. Alternatively, you can grate it on a coarse grater.
Step 9
Add all ingredients to the bowl with the onions. Mix.
Step 10
Divide the okroshka base into serving bowls and pour in kvass. Be sure to add a spoonful of sour cream.
