Solyanka in pots in the oven with cabbage

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a hodgepodge in pots in the oven with cabbage? Prepare all the necessary products for the recipe. The amount of each of the components can be slightly increased or decreased to your liking. Instead of sausages, it is permissible to use smoked sausage or brisket, and replace pickled cucumbers with salted ones.

2. Step 2:

   

   First of all, prepare the cabbage. If the cabbage is too sour, then rinse it in cold water and squeeze. Put the cabbage, butter and tomato paste in the pan. Mix everything and simmer under the lid over moderate heat until the cabbage is half cooked (about 30 minutes). During cooking, open the lid and check if the cabbage is burning. If necessary, add a quarter cup of boiling water.

3. Step 3:

   

   At this time, peel the potatoes, onions and carrots. Rinse the vegetables. Chop the onion finely, and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

4. Step 4:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion and carrot until golden brown. Pour the flour into the pan, mix everything and leave for another minute. Flour can be excluded from the recipe, but with it the broth in the finished dish turns velvety.

5. Step 5:

   

   Remove the shell from the sausages. Cut cucumbers and sausage products into circles. Chop the potatoes into small cubes or cubes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Send potatoes to clay pots.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then sausages with cucumbers.

9. Step 8:

   

   Make the next layer of frying. At the end, send the cabbage and bay leaf to the pots.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour in the broth. Chicken broth or meat broth is perfect for a hodgepodge. Do not pour the broth to the very edges, as during the cooking process the liquid expands and there is a risk that the broth will pour over the edges of the pots.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the hodgepodge in a slightly preheated oven. At 200 degrees, wait for the broth to boil, then lower the temperature to 160-170 degrees and simmer the pots in the oven until the potatoes are ready. It took me about 1h.40 min. - 2h. 10-15 minutes before the end of cooking, add chopped olives to the pots.

12. Step 11:

    

    Taste the ready-made hodgepodge. If required, then add more. I usually don't do this, there is enough salt from cucumbers, cabbage and olives. When serving, offer everyone a slice of lemon, fresh herbs and crushed garlic in a plate. Pepper to taste. Very tasty with sour cream.
