Solyanka Mama's way

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 200g salami
• 200 g hunting sausage
• 200 g poultry sausage
• 200 g bacon, diced
• 5 m.-sized onion(s)
• 4 bell peppers
• 150 g tomato paste, more to taste
• 5 gherkins
• n. B. cucumber juice
• 1 tbsp sambal oelek or 1 dried chili pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 stock cube, fatter (preferably one cube, then it works great with the dosage)
• 1 tsp mustard
• 3 cloves garlic
• sour cream

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

The quantity is designed for 4 people, but for us it is only enough for 2

Brown the bacon, add the diced sausage (not the salami yet!) and sear everything until nice and brown. Then add the salami. Continue to sear briefly, then add the onion to the pot and continue to sear until the onions are translucent. If it starts to stick, add a little water. Now add the diced bell peppers, tomato paste and crushed garlic and sear briefly. Then add the finely chopped cucumbers, a little of the cucumber juice and all the seasonings. Pour in 1 to 1 1/2 liters of water, add the fatty broth and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Ideally, you should prepare the solyanka the night before. The next day, simply reheat it. Important! The solyanka needs to stand for a few hours before eating. I always serve it with toasted ciabatta bread and sour cream to stir in.
