  • Let's start with the mushrooms. First up are the dried ones: boil them, then strain the cooking liquid through a colander — but don't throw it out; save it for later. Cut the dried mushrooms into thin strips, and cut the boiled fresh mushrooms into strips the same way. Add them to the liquid left from the dried mushrooms. That liquid needs to be hot, so time your cooking to line up. Fresh mushrooms take about five minutes in boiling water; in the dried-mushroom broth, they need to simmer another 15–16 minutes. We're halfway there. Next, slice an onion into rings and sauté them in vegetable oil. Take the pan off the heat and stir in some tomato paste and chopped pickles. Pour boiling water over the pickled mushrooms and cut them into strips like the others. Now combine everything in one pot: first the dried-mushroom broth with the cooked fresh mushrooms floating in it, then the onion, tomato paste, and pickles. Simmer for more than 10 minutes. Add the dried mushrooms and any optional extras — bay leaf, salt, and pepper — toward the end, then bring the broth to a boil. The olives go in last (and a dollop of sour cream, if you're not keeping it strictly lean), plus capers if you want it tangier. The last 5 minutes is just simmering and stirring the solyanka now and then. Take a look at how it turned out, give it a taste, and share your thoughts.
