We take our favorite beans - again mix, I love to see - beautiful. We soaked it in the evening and now she cooked quietly in the pan.

While cooking the beans - soak the mushrooms will tasarim them with boiling water and leave. Let them get soggy. The smell in the kitchen - this is awesome.

The cabbage fill with water to just cover. Put it on a small flame, let cook 20 minutes - 30. All this cabbage we have in town do not sell. I or make itself or buy from grandmothers in the village. These soup are obtained only from green cabbage. If you find that luck. No - not too lazy to do themselves. Labor is not much, but incredibly fun in the winter. This recipe apparently, variation exists since the Tsar of peas and over time only gets more valuable.

In the pan where already warmed up vegetable oil, put mushrooms, then onions, then beans and saute all this stuff about 10 minutes on small light.

Potatoes - 4 pieces (we then push you will), into a saucepan (I decided to bring the recipe to the original and found a pot instead of a pan) put the fried mixture from the pan, pour all of the mushroom is water, there also put the potatoes (if water is not enough add simple) and cook on a medium heat (or in the oven tormented) until cooked potatoes. This is important - if the potatoes do not cook, then mixed with sour cabbage juice, she has not cooked never. Then there cabbage, already cook, and again in the oven or on the stove for 40 minutes. Took out the potatoes right in the pot with a potato masher suppressed - all in about 3 hours (supposed to stand for) everything. And if you do not post with sour cream, meat broth, though, and so delicious. A man after the holiday, the first headache remedy.

Then add to the cabbage and cook (or in the oven or on the stove) for about another 40 minutes. Do everything slowly on low heat.

Afterword. Granny Shura is alive, well, writes me letters as he can. As often as I can, my husband and friends out to check on her, I have her now instead of her granddaughter, doing some repairs, in the evenings listening to her stories about everything... Sometimes I send her small packages - cereal, sugar, candles, everything that comes to my mind and will be useful to her in the farm and never cease to be amazed that in the 21st century we live not far from Moscow here such villages in 8 houses. Photo report about some of the highlights of our experience there definitely will soon post in my diary. Bon appetit and strength to You in lent!
