300 years of army cuisine. Favorite cabbage soup of Generalissimo Suvorov

109
Hello dear lovers of delicious food and delicious reading!

I confess, I was surprised by your attentive and gentle attitude to food, following the results of an article about dishes that our Generalissimo Suvorov loved. The editorial office advised me so: you know - come on, burn it, since the people are interested.



And so the first material for which I stood up with such pleasure (I stood up, not sat down) in the new year, let it be the recipe for the very cabbage soup, without which the great commander could not imagine his life at all.


By the way - not in vain. This classic Russian dish is simply a culinary masterpiece. It is difficult to imagine a more balanced, tasty and healthy one than full Russian cabbage soup. And now we will have exactly full ones.

So, I invite you to ride a time machine, let's say, in the year 1767. You and I will just imagine that we are servicemen of that army that literally after a while will take part in the Polish campaign, but so far everything is quiet, peace, winter ...


Yes, you and I are not hussars or dragoons, we are simpler people. For example, the soldiers of the 62nd Suzdal Infantry Regiment, which is stationed near Novaya Ladoga. Let's say, in the village of Krenitsy. Or in Dubno. To St. Petersburg - 148 miles, to Moscow - 752 miles, peace and quiet, in short. Let gentlemen, noble hussars hang around the cities there, they can't go without balls and other tinsel. You and I are sedate people, who know their own worth and understand a lot about life.

As you already know, field kitchens have not yet been invented, and therefore it is very important for a soldier, when assigning to winter apartments (that is, to stay), to get to a good owner. In order for the bathhouse to be good, the stove is correct, the stock was well, and so that a very touching and useful stock must gurgle under the eaves in the hay.

Yes, first of all we need an oven. Okay, with a stove. Because we will have to not only cook, but even fry a little. But the main thing, of course, is the oven section, where we will prepare the highlight of our program.

It is clear that in modern conditions this role will be taken by an electric stove with an oven, but what the hell is not kidding, suddenly the topic will take root, then in the spring it will be possible to cook a couple of recipes of those times on such an oven.

We go to the train and there, at the quartermaster, we are trying to get everything we are supposed to. After all, even three centuries ago, the principle "It is supposed to - eat, not allowed - do not eat" existed easily. Since you and I are government people, that is, servicemen, we are actually entitled to a lot of things, but we are not in St. Petersburg, because what is not supposed to be from the assigned, we, as experienced people, can easily get in the village ourselves. In exchange for chopping wood, for example.

We need broth first. Rich and tasty. It is clear that on January 4, when I started stirring, the shops had not yet woken up from the New Year's hibernation. But the business executives also had the same task to get something decent, by the way in all ages and times. In general, a piece of decent brisket is our everything. The perspective is drawn immediately.


Further into the pan, which is already on the fire, comes this incomparable set, which will give the meat broth a unique and masterpiece taste:
- onion;
- a good piece of carrot;
- celery root, so mentally cut off;
- the lower part of the celery stalk;
- parsley root.


All this will be cooked along with the meat, after we remove the scale, of course, bay leaves and peppers will be used, then we will remove the roots, but without all this cabbage soup is not cabbage soup, but cabbage soup.


We cook. An hour and a half minimum. From time to time, skimming off the foam and humming approvingly. And do not forget to add 2-3 leaves of lavrushka and a dozen peas of allspice after descaling.

In the meantime, the cooking is in progress, we will talk about what will happen in the brass department, since we have two equally important components of cabbage soup on our agenda.

Therefore, we throw wood in the oven (add power to the stove heaters) and talk about mushrooms.

For these cabbage soup we need at least two types of mushrooms. The first is dried. In general, according to the classic recipe, it should be porcini mushrooms. But alas, in my area this is a rarity, so a mixture of boletus and boletus will be used. Not canonically, but I collected it myself and I completely trust them.


We take the mushrooms, place them in a clay pot, fill them with hot water and put them in the oven for 20-30 minutes at a temperature of 130 degrees. We will restore them.


The second part of the mushrooms will be useful to us much later, so we will talk about them at the very end.

And we proceed to the cabbage.


For these cabbage soup we will take half and half sauerkraut and fresh cabbage. This is a kind of compromise between completely sour cabbage soup from sauerkraut and rather bland from ordinary cabbage. Here is the truth in the middle.

In order for everything to be tasty and beautiful, a very interesting thing should be done: soften the cabbage. To do this, we mix fresh shredded and sauerkraut, put it in a large clay pot, add a good piece of butter (30-40 grams) and a glass of boiling water or broth (preferably) from the pan.


And we send the pot to the oven for an hour at a temperature of 130 degrees.


The broth gurgles, mushrooms and cabbage are steamed in the oven. We have very few participants in the show left, so let's move on to a very ancient participant.

Agree, as if even for the modern taste of one cabbage (even with mushrooms) in the soup really "will not be enough!". And potatoes, you know, had not yet received such recognition in those days.

Because - turnip!


Yes, all that ancient turnip, from which you can make everything. Thank God, you can find her now calmly. So we take turnips, peel and cut like potatoes and send them to the pan after we take out all the roots from there in an hour and a half.

Turnips will cook in time for about the same as potatoes. But she will have her own taste, a little bit with bitterness, but together with the rest of the ingredients, it is simply wonderful.

And it remains for us to work a little on the gas station. To do this, take a small frying pan, clean the onion and cut it into small cubes, half the carrots we have left and 2-3 celery stalks. We simply fry all this in vegetable oil.


And now, finally, we begin to collect the cabbage soup into a single whole.

We take the turnip broth and pour it into a pot of cabbage. We also send the washed mushrooms from a small pot, meat, the contents of a frying pan there and put the pot in the oven at 130 degrees for two hours. Add salt to taste.

And all this should be thoroughly heated so at a temperature that simulates an oven.

Actually, after two hours we begin to gradually prepare for dinner. For serving, we need sour cream (as without it), parsley, black bread, bacon and ... well, yes. Salted mushrooms, which will need to be seasoned with cabbage soup just before serving. I now have some lumps, so everything is beautiful. And so - who have what, but always salty.


In the past, there were no problems with such a seasoning in any Russian province, today, thanks to all kinds of hypermarkets, there are no problems either.

And of course, dear ones, you can't drink to such a thing as Alexander Vasilyevich drank a glass - well, that's a sin. Maybe not caraway seeds, maybe on something else, but here without options. Be sure to use. Before. Or before. But if for good, then it is not forbidden after.


Enjoy your discoveries and historical experiments!

        Formally - the army kitchen is 320 years old (not to be confused with the field kitchen) bully
        In 1700, Peter I issued a decree with instructions on provision of food "On the management of all grain stocks of frame people to Okolnich Yazykov, with his name for this part as general-food", in that decree there was an instruction to train army chefs.

        And I wrote down the recipe good

    The author must determine this is a recipe for "Suvorov cabbage soup" (these are royal ones) or soldiers'. If the latter, then the meat in them was extremely rare, especially beef.
    They put fish, poultry, game in the cabbage soup. Basically cabbage soup for a peasant in Russia is a vegetable dish into which crushed bacon was added for dampness so that everyone would get an equal share. The role of a thickener was performed by a muddy dressing.

      This is the perfect recipe.

      And in the village, my grandmother cooked in the summer, mostly empty cabbage soup in a Russian oven, also very, very tasty soup made from young vegetables.

      In winter, she often added her own canned lamb stew.

        Russian cuisine is in one of the first places in the world in terms of cost. And the author has perfectly confirmed this. Let him tell you how long it took him for all this rite.
        Due to the fact that everything was fine with firewood in Russia, Russian cuisine is also energy-intensive. Only Russians and their closest neighbors have this kind of cooking, like languor!

            A small note - during the time of Suvorov, there was no sunflower oil. Please inquire about vegetable oil
            "The evolution of sunflower as a cultivated plant took place in the Russian Empire [2]. The beginning of the industrial processing of sunflower as an oilseed crop is associated with the name of Daniil Bokarev. In 1829 he invented a method of obtaining oil from sunflower seeds. Four years later, in 1833, in the Alekseevka settlement of the Voronezh province (now Belgorod region) merchant Papushin with the assistance of Bokarev built the first oil mill in Russia. In 1834 Bokarev opened his own oil mill. In 1835, oil export abroad began. "

          Now on St. Petersburg, as Schwartz walked, you can't walk.
          Thirty years ago, the white nights were quiet, the splashing of waves along the embankments was heard, on Staronevsky nightingales were heard all night long, sometimes from some courtyard songs were heard with a guitar, you could even go up to the company to sing along, and sometimes they would pour port wine. .. We sang Tsoi or Vysotsky, DDT or Vizbora, or just some yard song, maybe of our own composition ...
          Now, instead of rare gatherings with a guitar in the courtyards - taverns with music, along the embankments - crowds of tourists, along the river - pleasure boats, again with music, and cars, cars, cars ... You can still go somewhere deep in the city blocks from the bustle , on the Petrogradskaya side or in the area of ​​Sennaya, Vladimirskaya, on Vasilyevsky, but Nevsky, Liteiny, Gorokhovaya, embankments with classic St. Petersburg views - Neva, Petropavlovka, bridges - this is already in the form in which I remember it, lost, and, probably , forever and ever...

              It does not interfere.
              I just wanted to say that I don't associate Schwartz's music with modern Petersburg.
              Weller wrote well about this in his time.
              I will never return to Leningrad.
              It doesn't exist anymore.
              There is no such city on the map.
              The gray age-old darkness melts away, dissolves, and dirt flows down onto the walls of palaces and sheets of hysterical newspapers. In this fog, we guessed to define the space of our life, calculated and believed, trampled the path and smashed our faces on granites; and they were, of course, happy, as all living were happy in their time.
              ...
              The city of my youth, my love and hopes has sunk, disappearing into History. Names on maps and signboards have been replaced, shiny cars are rolling along the devastated streets of St. Petersburg, and new generations are praising wealth and careers behind colorful windows - whipping along the Nevsky.

              I was lucky, I found a little bit of Leningrad. One summer. One month of crazy white nights with this very music in my head. My wife is only two years younger, but she did not find Leningrad any more - she got only Petersburg, and this was a completely different city.

    Celery could not be 100% - they just brought it in and indulged in it at balls, as decoration, as well as bay leaf and pepper - it's expensive. The same fresh cabbage could hardly be found in the village in January - only sauerkraut. Boiled mushrooms, salted mushrooms, and even in cabbage soup? This is bad manners! Is that apart from the brew, salty, the same with sour cream, with vodka ... As they say - flies separately, cutlets separately. I don’t know about you in Europe, but here, from the Urals to Vladivostok, any housewife would call it slop for a pig.

      The cabbage soup is good because it is not some kind of "hard" recipe like a pharmaceutical one. The cabbage soup is united only by cabbage and it doesn't matter how fresh or sauerkraut, and everything else is variations and improvisations based on preferences and the availability of products.

                    In my life I have never tasted sour cabbage soup. "Moskovskie", judging by the literature, is really like kvass. But I have seen such a "miracle" - after freezing, sauerkraut does not stand for a long time and ferments, and so this mash is squeezed from the cabbage and drunk. Calling it "brine" would still be wrong, since it is a fermentation product, but such a boozer deserves the SHI prefix. When such a product was occasionally encountered in my life, then as Morgunov sang - "I was young and I ate herring", I did not drink vodka, but now I would conduct "clinical trials" of this vaccine.

      Petiole celery is unlikely, but in the form of roots it may well be. Bay leaf with pepper is already a tribute to modernity. I, too, most likely could not eat a lot of sweet-sour-cream brew without pepper and lavrushka. In general, the "lordly" cabbage soup could be very diverse, most likely. Suvorov reached Italy, after all, so dry porcini mushrooms, and a lot of things there in the pot could be.

What about the intention to publish some recipes for cooking them on (in) an electric stove. then you can run into "mines"! There have been attempts to "reproduce" a number of old Russian recipes, and for a long time ... but unsuccessfully! And the whole "fix" is that food in Russia was prepared in a "Russian oven" with a special temperature regime! Dishes in the Russian oven were not boiled, not fried in the modern sense of these terms, but languished! The stewed dishes were obtained thanks to the peculiarities of cooking in the oven, as a result of the design of the Russian oven! At first they heated the Russian stove ... they could remove the coals later ... then they put pots and pans in the stove heat. And the food was cooked in the waning (!) Heat ... "languished"! On the electric stove, dishes are cooked, often, on the "arriving" heat ... Even if you make an "oven" with a decreasing temperature, the question is, will it be possible to accurately reproduce the "graphical curve" of the temperature decline over time, as in a Russian oven ?! There was, of course, a different cooking mode, when the pots with cooking were placed near the mouth of the oven and the dishes turned out to be somewhat different ...

    There is no "special secret" here. Why is sauerkraut? Yes, due to the fact that the human stomach is not able to process wood (I exaggerate), for this, cabbage, like other similar products, is processed in different ways - salt, ferment, fry, steam, pickle ... All this is for whatever with the help of bacteria, or with the help of chemicals (table salt, for example), heat treatment, to destroy non-processed molecules, break them down into components, so to speak, "digestible", or transfer this function to the "external stomach" - various bacteria, rennet, milk sour bacteria, yeast, finally. How is a man different from a spider, for example? The same gives the victim not only poison that immobilizes it, but also injects bacteria that process the victim in its own shell, and the spider (more often a spider) can only "drink all the juices" from the victims (sometimes the spider itself).

    The owner of Trilobite (Mikhail), dear, there are no Chinese in St. Petersburg and very few tourists, it is not at all bad to walk around the city after 04.01.2021/30/2020. Snow appeared, froze, some of the restrictions were removed from the catering. I have been in St. Petersburg since December 7, 1, the New Year felt like November 8, and today it looks like winter. My wife and I discovered the "Tavern on Gorokhovaya" at 04/18 on the street. Gorokhovya. Just from the pedestrian crossing across the Admiralteisky Prospekt, cross over from the fountain in front of the Admiralty and run into the doors of the inn. On January 315, I did not order a table with my wife, the room was half-empty at 51 p.m., Russian snacks were lovely, and the erofeech was a fairy tale ... The phone number of the tavern was suddenly useful to someone: 15-1971-XNUMX ... but through Mstu he moved in Borovichi directly to the summer camp of future military topographers, and there, in XNUMX, a pine forest and porcini mushrooms! I think that Alexander Vasilyevich was with dried porcini mushrooms ...
    Dear author, only in the 18th century, most of Russian cuisine was not based on beef, but on lamb and goat meat. It is easier to feed the small horned in winter not on clean hay, like cows, (not all had flooded meadows) but on hay and on branch feed.

    There are big doubts that these cabbage soup is related to the Russian army in general and to Suvorov in particular.
    1.
    So, I invite you to ride a time machine, let's say, in the year 1767. You and I will just imagine that we are servicemen of that army that literally after a while will take part in the Polish campaign, but so far everything is quiet, peace, winter ...
    Yes, we are neither hussars or dragoons, we are simpler people. For example, the soldiers of the 62nd Suzdal Infantry Regiment, which is stationed near Novaya Ladoga. Let's say, in the village of Krenitsy. Or in Dubno. To St. Petersburg - 148 miles, to Moscow - 752 miles, peace and quiet, in short.

    1.1. Where is the author going to look for fresh celery in the 18th century village in winter? With considering:
    Celery came to Russia during the reign of Catherine II, but the nobles, imitating the ancient Greeks and Romans, cultivated it for purely decorative purposes for a long time. During sumptuous dinners at the court, the guests, imitating the ancient Greeks, decorated themselves with wreaths made of this plant, not suspecting how ridiculous they would look in such an outfit two hundred years later.

    Only in the XNUMXth century did they realize that celery rhizomes can be eaten - and with great pleasure.

    So potatoes are not allowed, but celery is an ordinary food for soldiers and peasants - like nettles? Especially when you consider that in Russia it began to be consumed only in the next century?
    1.2. Where did bay leaves and peas come from in an 18th century village? Everyone knows about underground millionaires, but in this village there are continuous underground princes and counts?
    2. Cooking time - several hours. This is absolutely unacceptable for the army, even in winter quarters. The soldiers do not have so much free time! Idleness leads to a decline in discipline and the decay of the army.

    The recipe is for the generals located in St. Petersburg (and then in the next century). But not for ordinary soldiers in the village in the village of Krenitsy.
    Here is another recipe for cabbage soup, which is attributed to Suvorov. And on a set of products, it is much more believable:
    Products: 1 glass of pearl barley, hot water, 500g of white cabbage, 2 carrots, 1 turnip, 200g of pork fat, 2 onions, 1 parsley root, vegetable oil for frying vegetables, salt to taste.

    Rinse the pearl barley and fill it with hot water 2-3 cm above the cereal level. Put to cook. When the cereal swells, drain the excess water, and put the cereal itself in another pan with boiling water (or boiling beef broth) and cook for 10-25 minutes. Then cut the cabbage into 2 × 2 cm pieces, and the carrots, turnips and parsley root into slices.

    Heat vegetable oil in a pan and sauté chopped vegetables. Boil water in a saucepan, put the sautéed vegetables there and set to cook. And finely chop the pork fat and fry in another pan until half of the fat is melted. Then add finely chopped onions and sauté everything together. Put these cracklings with onions in the cabbage soup at the end of cooking.

    And all the products are really affordable, no fiction like celery, pepper and bay leaves. I think that the peasants of 1767 had no idea about these products.

    Conclusion: the recipe described by the author could not exist in the 17th century and is a lie, having no relation to Suvorov.

    I made such cabbage soup for jokes. Maybe for the Generalissimo they are coming, but certainly not ordinary soldiers. At that time, corned beef came from meat; there was plenty of it in army warehouses. Vegetables were stored in regimental piles. The soldiers' cabbage soup was loaded into the cauldron together and immediately languished overnight and until lunch the next day, if not in a camp kitchen, then in a Russian oven, "melted" into a delicious whole brew. The memory of the butter smiled, of course. The oil was only lean. Porridge - oatmeal, buckwheat or pearl barley - was also languishing nearby. Most often barley. Soaked in the evening, this is a completely different porridge, not "shrapnel" at all ..

    "so that under the eaves in the hay a very touching and useful supply must gurgle" What is in the author's understanding of FEAR? It's funny.

    For two liters of water, half a kilo of beef brisket, then not only potatoes (which are not there), but also other vegetables can be skipped. )))

    Retelling of V. Pokhlebkin's recipe: "rich cabbage soup"; and what - the Generalissimo? From what reliable sources are known such detailed recipes for A. Suvorov's menu; if the first cookbooks in Russia have not yet been written?
    Passaged vegetables - not used at all when cooking cabbage soup; this is not borscht. Lard, however, was not included in the army ration of 18. In the provinces of Central Russia, they began to eat it en masse only in the middle of the 20th century. About celery - who introduced it into the diet en masse - until the end of the 20th century?

    Since childhood, San Vasilich, alas, suffered from housing problems. And he held out so much, and even at the "level" of the then medicine, solely because of moderation and unpretentiousness in food. So it is not necessary to pass off his forced menu for the superfood of the then kitchen masterpieces.
