Soldier’s Kulesh Recipe

|

The war, the front, I’m… cooking? The items seem to be difficult to match. Everyone has their own: one in the trench – breadcrumbs soaked in a stream, the other in the office – a delicacy specially brought from the capital by plane… When guns speak, the muses, apparently, must remain silent. Including Colin, the patron saint of chefs. But, as the Russian people say, as you fall, you will drown. In other words, war is war, and lunch is on schedule. And today, when interest in the culinary side of our life has increased dramatically, there is almost no one to tell that a Russian soldier, like two hundred years ago, could cook porridge even with an axe, and his gastronomic savvy was matched by the ability to beat the enemy. This is one of the most widely used recipes during the war. Kulesh is a thick soup or not very thick, but very satisfying porridge.

Dear chefs, this pastrami is something amazing. Since I generally like recipes from the “put-forget-Nirvana” series, I love this pastrami doubly, because I have to forget about it twice. Moreover, the whole process, from pickling to heat treatment, was invented by me personally, the recipe is, so to speak, author’s (wow, how loud it sounds).

Azu with Garlic Arrows Recipe

Azu is a Tatar dish, and there are many varieties of it in the world. As they say – every housewife has her own secret. I offer mine. It is less greasy due to the fact that not all the ingredients will be fried separately, as in the traditional recipe, but it is sharper thanks to the pickled garlic arrows.
