Finely chop the onion and fry with the bacon in the oil until translucent. Meanwhile, peel and dice the cucumber. Add the chopped dill, cucumber, bay leaf, chopped garlic, vegetable stock, pepper, and salt, and sauté over medium heat. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Finally, add the sour cream and season with pepper, salt, and vegetable stock, if desired. Serve with rice. Tip: For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use a little more onion. This has been one of my siblings’ and my favorite meals since childhood. Our over-14s now love it too. The dish doesn’t look like much, but the flavor and short cooking time speak for themselves.
