A flavorful homemade rassolnik cooked with the addition of canned beans is a simple, delicious, and nutritious first course! Pickles are grated on a fine grater and give this soap thickness and more even flavor. A good dish for a lenten lunch!
Pour the liquid out from the canned beans beforehand.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and grate the carrot on a coarse grater.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, put the chopped onions and carrots, and stir-fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Add the tomato paste to the pan and stir. Heat all together for 1 minute and remove from the heat.
Peel and cut the potatoes into small dice.
Pour some water into a pot, bring it to a boil, and drop the diced potatoes into it. Cover the pot with a lid. Skim the scum that has formed, reduce the heat, and simmer the potatoes gently for 10 minutes.
Add the fried-up vegetables and bay leaf to the pot.
Grate the pickles on a fine grater.
Place the grated pickles along with the juice released into the pan where you cooked the vegetables. Bring them to a boil and stew slowly for 1-2 minutes.
Add the stewed pickles to the pot with the rassolnik, put the canned beans, sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika, and sugar, and bring it to a boil.
Finely chop the dill and add it to the pot. Cook the rassolnik for another 3-4 minutes slowly and then remove it from the stove.
The lenten rassolnik with canned beans is done! Serve the dish as soon as it is done.
