Russian Food Recipes

[Admin]

A post in another forum on the board made me think it might be nice to gather a collection of your favorite Russian food dishes - and if possible, the recipes to make them.

For my part, I enjoy hot borscht (not the cold variety), pelmeni, blinchiki (with meat), stuffed cabbage (don't recall the name), and many others. I am not fond of salo - though most every Ukrainian I know loves it. Oh well.

Here are a few links to websites containing recipes:

No borscht, but many others: http://www.shango.net/cyberbride/sh.htm

Nice forum with many recipes: http://www.ruscuisine.com/cooking-forums/viewtopic.php?topic=563&forum=1

Anyone else have foods you are particularly fond of, or recipes you wish to share?

Borscht is wonderful, Salo is the food I don't like.

I didn't like the dried, salt fish or "death fish" as a fellow American calls it.

I would like to try some Borscht recipes and adding chicken.

Thanks for posting them.

priyatnogo appetita!

[Albert]

I am looking for a particular recipe.  I do not know the correct spelling, but it sounds something like cerneike.  I ate it in Ukraine.

It consists of a light crumbly cheese, something like ricotta cheese here in USA or cottage cheese only much drier.  To this cheese is added eggs, flour, sugar, salt and vanilla flavoring.  It is all mixed up and made into something resembling a potato cake and fried in skillet over flame.  Then it is served with honey, yoghurt or something sweet on top.

Can anyone provide me with the correct name and spelling, and a recipe?

Sirniki :

· Ingredients
4 cups cottage cheese
1/2 tsp. white pepper
3/4 cup flour, sifted
4 egg yolks
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
butter for frying
sour cream for serving, well chilled 
 
· Method
Mix together the cottage cheese and the white pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes. Place the cheese in toweling or cheesecloth and carefully squeeze as much moisture from it as possible. Rub the dry cheese through a sieve. In a mixing bowl combine the cheese, flour, egg yolks, sugar and salt. Knead together well and roll into 3" (7 1/2 cm) thick tubes. Refrigerate for about 1 hour and then slice the rolls into 2 1/2 cm. slices.

In a skillet melt 2 Tbsp. of the butter and in this fry the slices until golden brown on both sides, adding butter only if the skillet becomes dry. Serve hot with the sour cream. (May be served as an appetizer or a dessert).

Wow-wow. Never knew I am so popular here. Bruno is right - Western, Eastern...... doesn't matter. But I am not in search anyway.

Bruce, is it very important to know how I look, eh? You gonna help me to find a good man? Do you have your own private Agency?!!!  LMAO

[Bruce]

I know some guys who prefer to help without the help of an agency.  Never the less, since you are not on the market, they'll have to put their paws on some other cute canine.

[TheArrow]

since you are not on the market, they'll have to put their paws on some other cute canine.

I prefer to be a WOMAN and not A GOODS ON THE MARKET.  <cute canine> - so your wife was one of them?

I do not want to post my pic here and you call me <cute canine>. A very polite answer, thank you, a male dog.

[Bruno]

And the photo of Bruce is not bad too... a blue ball...

Hey, "cute canine"... a little game, ... take the "blue ball" :D:D:D:D:D

[Bruce]

Actually, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt for other guys in cyberland since this blue ball is already taken! 

[TheArrow]
