Cooking

step-0
To prepare the broth, take bones or meat on the bone, put it in a pan, add the leeks, turnips, onions, carrots, cover with water and bring to a boil. When it boils, remove the foam. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1.5 hours in the quiet boiling. Sieve the broth. If in a pickle, put the kidneys, the meat is usually not added. Meat can be used in other dishes
step-1
Beef kidneys fill with water for 2-3 hours, changing the water every hour. Then rinse, pour fresh water and bring to a boil. When boiling water, drain it. Rinse under running water the kidneys and the pan. Pour the boiling water and cook for about 1 hour, adding a little salt.
step-2
Traditional ingredient for rassolnik "Leningrad" is pearl barley. I opted for soup pearl barley TM "Mistral". Rinse barley well. Then pour boiling water for half an hour, then drain in a sieve. Sometimes it is pre-boiled separately until soft (in order that the soup was bole transparent)
step-3
Cut into strips onion, leek, carrot and parsley root
step-4
Pickles cut into strips
step-5
Saute vegetables in butter until light Golden brown. Then add chopped cucumbers, pour in the brine and a little put out. Sometimes in the "Leningrad" pickle add tomato paste. It is at your discretion. I don't like the tomato pickle and never put.
step-6
To the strained stock add the pearl barley and cook for 15 minutes
step-7
As rassolnik "Leningrad" was invented as a simple and hearty soup, then of course there are potatoes. Cut it into cubes and cook for another 5-7 minutes
step-8
Add the browned vegetables, bring the soup to a boil. Add salt to taste, Bay leaf and remove from heat.
step-9
The finished buds are cut into small slices
step-10
When serving dish, pour the pickle, add the chopped kidneys and sour cream. Sprinkle with herbs.
