Today, there are many options for okroshka, but all the options have one thing in common: the composition of the ingredients is unchanged - potatoes, fresh cucumber, radishes, eggs, a lot of greens and a protein component (boiled meat of any kind, fish or boiled sausage). But pouring can be different: kvass, kefir (sour), whey, milk, beer, birch kvass, infusion of tea mushroom, decoction of currants, parsley, dill, sorrel, beet marinade, mayonnaise, sour cream.
Did you know? Okroshka appeared in the XVIII century and in the classic version consisted of onions, radishes, bread and was seasoned with kvass. In the 19th century, the list of ingredients began to increase. Protein components were added: pieces of boiled meat, corned beef, fish, eggs, and also sour cream was served separately. In the mid-20th century, the okroshka recipe already resembled the one we used to use.
