Description

Lean pickle ... How can this be, you ask, because usually meat and offal are added to such a soup, thanks to which it acquires a characteristic taste. We answer: yes, it can! We did not add meat products, but put a lot of vegetables in the soup and seasoned it with ground paprika (it is best if it is smoked). Please note: the taste of such a lean pickle will directly depend on the quality of pickles. If you manage to get good barrels, and even with fragrant brines, believe me: amazing gastronomic experiences await you!

Cooking

Step 1

Lean pickle

Pour a little oil into a small saucepan, add barley, put on medium heat and fry, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Then pour 2 cups of boiling water, salt, bring to a boil, close the lid, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the pickle barley for 20 minutes. During this time, the water should be absorbed.

Step 2

Lean pickle

Prepare vegetables for the lean pickle. Peel onions, garlic and carrots. Cut into small pieces. Also chop the celery. Peel the pickled cucumbers, cut the cucumbers lengthwise into quarters, then across into slices 7–8 mm thick.

Step 3

Lean pickle

In a heavy bottomed saucepan, heat 3-4 tbsp. l. oil, add the onion. Fry over high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add carrots and celery; sauté, stirring, 5 minutes. Add garlic and pickles, sauté 1 minute.

Step 4

Lean pickle
