Potato with Herring

It's been a long time since I wrote here. Honestly, I've been cooking dishes of other nations. And the reason of that is the oven in the new apartment that doesn't work at all. Russian cuisine is mostly about cooking in the oven, so I don't have so much freedom of doing pirozhki, kulebyaka and others. I hope, in the near future this problem will be solved successfully.))

I found one picture in my archives that I think you will like.

It's a boiled potato with butter, and herring in the vinegar with onion. All is dilled.))

Rasstegais with Fish. Men's Favourite | Russian Chef | Russian Cuisine

Rasstegais (singular: rasstegai) are discreditable little Russian pies with the hole or just open on the top)))). The word came from the word rasstyogivat which means to unfasten.

You need:

• salted red fish;
• onion.

 Defrost the dough and prepare it for the cooking like it's said on the pack.


Fry white fish with some onion on a pan for 3-5 min.

Make some balls using the dough, roll them out to the circles. Put on the circles white fish with onion and salted red fish. Put together pie sides as you like, but leave a little hole on the top. Pour into the pie some bouillon.

Cut the fish into pieces. Cover them with flour, salt and pepper. Fry on a pan for 3-4 min from both sides.

Warm up the milk.

Fried Potato with Mushrooms and Onion | Russian Chef | Russian Cuisine

Good dish for the dinner. Really.)

Take:

• 1 oninon bulb;
• 2 mushrooms (champignons, for example).

Cut all the ingredients and fry on the pan (use the sunflower oil).

Vinegret | Russian Chef | Russian Cuisine

This is a lovely beetroot salad. Sometimes it's made for celebrating. Other families consider it very casual.

You need:

• 1 beetroot;
• 1 carrot;
• 1 potato;
• 2 pickles;
• 100 g canned pea (about 1/3 tin);
• 1 onion bulb;
• (if you want) 150 g sauerkraut.

Boil beetroot, carrot and potato.

Cut vegetables, add pea. For the classic vinegret you should also add sauerkraut, but I prefer not to.

Spice with vinegar, mustard, sunflower or olive oil, salt, pepper. This one isn't spiced at all, and it's still very tasty).

Buckwheat With Eggs And Onion | Russian Chef | Russian Cuisine

My parents often made buckwheat with eggs and onion when they were tired. It's easy to cook and pretty much tasty.

You'll need for buckwheat kasha:

• 225 g buckwheat;
• 400 ml water;
• salt.

Also you'll need:

• 2 eggs;
• 1/2 onion bulb.

The Recipe of the Buckwheat Kasha

Put the buckwheat in a pot and wash it out several times with cold water. Add to the clean buckwheat the water (400 ml), salt (water should be saltish on taste) and put the pot on a fire. Bring it to the boiling. Make the fire small and boil the buckwheat under the lid for 15 min at least. Cook it until the water evaporates.

While the buckwheat is preparing make a hard-boiled egg in another pot (boil it in water for 10 min).

When the egg and the buckwheat are ready put them in a pan. Put there also finely cut onion. Stew the buckwheat until onion will be soft.

Mmmm)))))))
