Rassolnik - useful tips and tricks
• The most delicious pickle is obtained from the broth on the bones. If you reduce the cooking time using meat cut into small pieces, the soup will no longer be so tasty.
• The broth is prepared quickly from young meat, but a soup made from the meat of an adult animal is much tastier.
• If the cucumbers are fresh and the pickle is not enough acid, you can squeeze a little lemon juice into the pan or add it directly to the plates. Whole slices of citrus can be used to decorate the soup.
• To cook a bright and saturated pickle, you can add a little beetroot to it. Grate it very finely so that the root crop does not pay attention to itself in the soup.
