Russia is... Food in gorshochek

Of course, all countries are proud of their cuisine! And Russians are not an exception.  Some Russian soups are well-known (I hope so!), that is borsch. Or schi, for example. One day we will write about it as well. But those who had a chance to join the Russian cooking class know already, that borsch is red NOT because of tomato, but because of BEETROOT. But it is another topic to speak about. 

Today we will tell you about soups or ragou in ... gorshochek (ГОРШОЧЕК). Gorshochek means small gorshok, which is a POT, usually made of clay. 

As for me, for example, the smell of soup in gorshochek is a symbol of my childhood and youth, the symbol of home and our family kitchen. 

Our traditional recipe of "мясо в горшочках" is (for 6 person - 6 small pots) 

to each pot put some beef, potato, onion, carrot, mushrooms. Add salt, pepper, and hot water to cover all ingredients in the pot. And put it to the oven for 2-3 hours. Enjoy! The smell is incredible! When you try it, you will never forget this taste of home-made meat in pot. 

Here in HK you may also enjoy it. For example, this is a pot I have found in one of the shops. Even simple potato with mushroom - it is also wonderful! 

from here you may learn the amount of ingredients, 

and here 3 more recipes and pictures. 

Приятного аппетита!
