O!Kroshka.
Okroshka is not just a cold soup, it is a whole story that goes back centuries. Its name comes from the word “kroshit” (to crumble, to chop) and refers to the way it is made — all the ingredients are finely chopped.
Okroshka is believed to have originated on the banks of the Volga, along which barge haulers dragged huge laden barges. For this hellish labour they were paid in kvass and dried roach. The fish was dry and very salty, so people began to soak it. Then they started adding vegetables found during the day to the kvass. That is how the recipe for fish okroshka appeared. Vegetables grown by hand were chopped into a big container, meat, kvass and sour cream were added, and it was seasoned with fragrant herbs and salt.
The secret of okroshka’s popularity is that it easily adapts to everyone’s taste. You can vary the ingredients and the base — use kvass, kefir, mineral water or even whey. Everyone can create their own unique recipe.
Now we will reveal tell you where you can try this dish.
