Pickle Soup

Finally got around to making rassolnik, I really wanted it! Yes, pearl barley again, what can I do, but I love it so much.

So, for rassolnik you need:

– Chicken gizzards (package, 500 g)
– Chicken hearts (1/2 package, 250 g)
– Pearl barley (200 g)
– Pickled cucumbers (3-5 pcs)
– Carrots (1 pc)
– Onions (1 pc)
– Tomato paste (optional, 1 tbsp)
– Water (3-4 l)

Firstly, we load the offal and pearl barley into a saucepan. There are also cucumbers, onions and carrots, chopped into random beautiful cubes, and a spoonful of tomato paste, if you have it. I have it, that’s why I put it, but you can easily do without it. It is better to take a barrel cucumber, not a pickled one. It is better to choose cucumbers that are lighter in color, then they are softer and even more pungent and salty. Fill everything with water and cook on low heat, so that it does not boil, but bubbles a little, for about an hour and a half. That’s it! A gorgeous rassolnik is ready.
