Solyanko is called not only a rich first-course meat dish, but also a side dish based on rice, which is often cooked with rice and tomato paste. Both recipes are extremely tasty, from which we can not pay attention to any of them.
The recipe for a salted soup with rice
Although in its traditional form, solyanka includes only meat products and pickles , for lack of an abundance of sausages, you can replace them with a portion of rice. This will make the dish not only more useful, but also hearty and inexpensive.
Ingredients:
- rice - 1 handful;
- Smoked meat (sausage, ham, smoked chicken, hunting sausages, etc.) - 350 g;
- salted cucumber - 3-4 pieces;
- lemon - 1 piece;
- tomato paste - 4 tbsp. spoons;
- olives - 1 pot;
- bacon - a small piece;
- onions - 1 pc .;
- capers - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
- pickle cucumber - 2 items;
- salt, pepper - to taste;
- bay leaves - 2 pcs .;
- beef ribs - 500 g.
Preparation
Beef ribs are rinsed and put into the bottom of a deep saucepan. Fill the ribs with 3 liters of cold water and put it on the stove. We bring the liquid to a boil, we reduce the fire and put the laurel sheet. Cook the broth, periodically removing the foam from the surface, 2-3 hours. After the time has passed, the broth is filtered, the ribs are removed from the meat and the fibers are disassembled. We cut into smoked sausages.
A piece of fat is melted in a frying pan and fry on it finely chopped onions. Once the onion becomes transparent, add the grated pickled cucumber and smoked meat to it. Fry all a couple of minutes, pour the brine with tomato paste and simmer on a small fire for 5 minutes.
Rice boil and rinse. Such a technique will help us to keep the broth transparent, after the addition of cereals. In a saucepan with broth pour roast from smoked products, add boiled rice, capers and cook for 5 more minutes. Before serving, we give a hodgepodge of rice and sausage, and then serve with lemon and olives.

In the cauldron, melt the butter and fry the pork until golden brown. Add the onions and cabbage to the fried meat. We wait until the cabbage leaves the juice, while mixing all the ingredients. Once the juice has separated, add the bay leaf, tomato paste, pour a glass of water and cover the soaked rice. Cover the container with a lid and reduce the heat.

If you want to make a hodgepodge of rice in a multivark, then
You can prepare a hodgepodge with rice and completely without meat, replacing it with an even greater variety of fresh vegetables, for example, bell pepper, carrots, zucchini. A tasty and healthy dish will also become less caloric and more easily digestible. And to make a vegetarian hodgepodge slightly more acidic, replace fresh cabbage with sour cream or add a little lemon juice to the dish.
