Rassolnik with bulgur - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace bulgur with pearl barley or rice. Add 15-20 minutes extra cooking time if using pearl barley. For rice, adjust cooking time according to the variety used (15-20 minutes for white rice).
Replace pork with mushrooms or canned beans, and use vegetable broth instead of meat stock. Omit tomato paste or use a vegan alternative if needed. The brine and pickles will still give it that signature tangy flavor.
Store in airtight containers for 3-4 days. The flavors meld nicely over time. Note that bulgur will continue absorbing liquid, so you may need to add broth or water when reheating.
Freeze without potatoes for best results as they become grainy when thawed. Add fresh potatoes when reheating. Frozen portions keep well for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator before reheating.
Serve with crusty bread or garlic toast to soak up the broth. A dollop of sour cream and fresh dill garnish complements the tangy flavors. A simple cucumber salad makes a refreshing side.
