Meat hodgepodge is a delicious, hearty, aromatic dish. Maybe that’s why the hodgepodge falls in love with itself from the first spoon. Today we will cook meat hodgepodge with smoked sausage and sausages, on rich beef broth.

Servings: 8

Ingredients

• Beef on the bone – 800 g
• Smoked sausage – 150 g
• Sausages – 2-3 pcs.
• Pickled cucumbers – 150 g
• Bulb onions – 2 pcs.
• Pitted olives – 100 g
• Tomato paste -1 tbsp
• Vegetable oil – 4 tbsp
• Bay leaf – 1 pc.
• Salt to taste
• Water – 3 l

For filing:

• Lemon – a few slices
• Sour cream – to taste
• Fresh greens – to taste

Directions

1. We prepare the necessary products according to the list.

   

2. Put the beef in a saucepan, fill it with cold water and bring to a boil. Remove foam, reduce heat to a minimum. Add the peeled onion to the pan and simmer the broth over low heat for 2-2.5 hours (until the meat is ready). After the indicated time, add the bay leaf, continue to cook the broth for another 20 minutes.

   

3. We take out the finished meat from the broth and leave to cool. The bulb and bay leaves are no longer useful. Strain the broth and bring to a boil again. For a long time of cooking, the finished broth will remain about 1.5 liters.
4. Peel the onions and chop finely. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry the onion for a couple of minutes over low heat.
5. While the onion is fried, grate the pickles on a coarse grater. We spread them to the onion, cover the pan with a lid. Let the cucumbers steam in a pan for 5 minutes.
6. Add tomato paste and fry for 3-4 minutes. We shift the frying to the broth. Cook for 10 minutes.
7. Separate the boiled meat from the bones, cut it into cubes. We put sausages and meat in a saucepan. Cook the hodgepodge with sausage and meat for another 5 minutes.
8. Add olives to the hodgepodge. Salt to taste. Cook the meat hodgepodge for 5 minutes.
9. Let the soup brew a little.

   

10. Serve the meat hodgepodge with sausage, adding a couple of lemon slices and sour cream to the plate. You can add finely chopped greens.
