Today I want to share with you an unusual recipe for okroshka with spinach and a whole set of other greenery. This is a light diet option without meat. If desired, you can add a little tofu and soy sauce for oriental notes.
The taste of kvass is so unusual and multifaceted that it still does not lose relevance. They drink it in its pure form and, of course, prepare numerous dishes with kvass. For example, it is used as a fill for cold soups, added to gas stations, marinades and dough. Kvass is combined with potatoes, horseradish, beets, rhubarb and fresh vegetables. With aromatic greens, wheat and barley cereals, with cherries, cranberries and strawberries.
It is good with citruses, dried fruits, cheese, and also with sausages and ham. Kvass is obtained in the process of fermentation of black or rye bread. There are recipes in Latvia, Estonia, Serbia, Poland, Armenia and Georgia. A similar drink is highly valued in separate Chinese regions. The name itself indicates its origin - to bend. By a similar principle, barley beer and rice wine are prepared.
Depending on the specifics of cooking, kvass is rye, barley or wheat. Less commonly, birch juice, berry infusion, mint, raisins and other additives are used. A separate category is honey kvass and also - light okrosheny. By the way, it is okroshka that can rightfully be called the main dish with kvass in Russian cuisine!
