Radish Okroshka
Description
A hearty first course dish. I recommend preparing homemade kvass in advance—it makes the okroshka much more delicious, believe me! The step-by-step recipe for classic radish okroshka is as follows: 1. Boil potatoes in a saucepan with salted water, using your preferred method—either with the skin on or peeled. I find that cooking them in their skins always tastes better. Let them cool, then cut into cubes. Alternatively, you can boil them already cut into cubes to save time. 2. Wash cucumbers under running water, peel them (unless they're small, in which case you can leave the skin on), and cut into matchsticks or small cubes. 3. Wash the radishes, peel them, then grate on a coarse grater or slice into thin strips. 4. Finely chop the onion, dill, and parsley. 5. Place all the prepared ingredients into a pot, add salt to taste, and pour in the kvass. 6. Pour the cooled kvass over the ingredients, mix well, and refrigerate for a couple of hours. That's it! Now you know how to make delicious okroshka. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
