Rassolnik with beef, pearl barley and pickled cucumbers — Russia recipe

🇷🇺RussiaAdvanced

Soups

Rassolnik

A hearty Russian sour soup built on meat broth, pearl barley, and brined cucumbers, with its signature tang coming from cucumber pickle brine stirred in at the end. Potatoes and a carrot-onion sauté round it out; sour cream and dill finish each bowl. The trick is sequencing — potatoes cook before anything sour goes in, and the barley cooks apart to keep the broth clear.

Fresh Cabbage Shchi

A light, clean Russian cabbage soup made with fresh white cabbage rather than sauerkraut — beef broth, potatoes, a fresh tomato base, and a carrot-onion sauté, finished with sour cream and dill. It's the summer counterpart to dark, sour sauerkraut shchi: quicker, brighter, and best eaten the day it's made.

Flammkuchen (German Tarte Flambée)

Flammkuchen, tarte flambée in French, is a paper-thin flatbread of flour, water and oil, spread with soured cream and scattered with raw onion rings and cubes of smoked pork belly. It comes from Alsace, and Baden and the Palatinate on the German bank of the Rhine pour it at their September wine festivals with equal conviction that it belongs to them. There is no yeast in the dough, so it bakes into a cracker rather than a pizza base: ten to twelve minutes at 250°C on a sheet that has been heating along with the oven. The half hour the dough spends resting before it is rolled is the only slow part of the evening.

Zwiebelkuchen (German Onion Tart)

Zwiebelkuchen is a savoury onion tart from the wine villages of southern Germany (Swabia, the Palatinate, Baden, Franconia), eaten through September and October with Federweisser, the cloudy young wine that is still fermenting in the glass. Underneath the topping is yeast dough rather than pastry, a thin bread base pressed into a sheet pan, which is how it is sold at the autumn wine festivals. On top goes well over a kilo of onions sweated until they collapse, bound with sour cream and eggs, seasoned with caraway and studded with smoked bacon. The dough needs about an hour to rise before any of that begins, so the timing below does not include it.
