I remember that at school (at the very beginning, the second or third grade was), the teacher conducted educational work with us on the topic "Bread is the head of everything." I conducted it without any enthusiasm, I must say, I understand this now, because we discussed the whole lesson (class hour was called) that bread should be treated with respect. And then the whole detachment, I don’t remember, still in the October or already pioneer, decided: we need to make a book in which we will have recipes for dishes from stale bread! And make sure that nobody throws out this bread at home, but cook it!
The teacher at the parent meeting made the adults happy with this idea. And for greater joy she added that the children themselves will be engaged in our book - a huge album for photographs with brownish cardboard sheets, as I remember now. As part of fostering a respectful attitude towards bread.
Now, when my oldest son is a schoolboy, I understand perfectly why my parents were not very happy with our social responsibility. Because “children will do”, most often means “comrade parents, arbeiten for the glory of pedagogy and indicators.
But I, as an honest boy, wrote the recipe myself into that album-book. Adults did something clumsy and not so beautiful on other pilgrims. Drawing - an illustration frightened with surrealism (he painted himself!).
But the recipe turned out to be "tasty". First, the teacher asked which book he took, then - some of the parents were interested in the mother. As a result, we started playing that culinary collection with the ends.
And recently I discovered this recipe. I decided to try - what was it that attracted him? It turned out to be really tasty!
We take:
- A couple of thick pieces of black or rye bread (Darnitsky and others will not go with spices). dry them or use stale
- A handful of dried mushrooms, or three hundred to five hundred grams of fresh
- A couple of onions
- A couple of tablespoons of butter is important - butter
- Salt pepper, sour cream to taste
How we cook:
Mushrooms, if dried, soak and boil, if fresh, make mushroom broth from them. You should get about a liter.
Next, grind the dry bread on a grater, finely chop the onion, take out the mushrooms and cut them, and after melting the butter in a saucepan with thick walls, send the onions there. Fry, add bread crumbs to the onion. Stir, simmer a little. Further - mushrooms. For about five to ten minutes we let them put out with everything else. Fill with broth, bring to a boil, straighten the taste with salt, and, if necessary, pepper.
It turns out a very thick rich soup that goes well just in cold autumn
Bon Appetit!
