I never tried Rice-A-Roni from the box, but I was curios to try this combination – pasta and rice. And I did it by using egg vermicelli and Jasmati rice. It’s simple, fast and tasty. A little roasting gives a rich flavor and color.
Pelmeni, now, is a traditional Russian (fast) food. They are very well kept frozen and can be purchased at any Russian store, but, of course, the home version is always better. I made my pelmeni with salmon filling, but, traditionally it’s meat.
This sandwich is a great combination of pure ingredients – rye bread, mustard, sauerkraut and smoked turkey meat. Something from winter menu. I made it with Russian-style sauerkraut, it’s not so sour, crisp well and made with carrot. Recipe adapted from Yum Sugar blog.
“Herring Under Fur Coat” is very popular Soviet Holiday salad with a lot of mayonnaise. There are several variations of this salad. One of the differences in the way of cutting. Someone cuts the vegetables into small cubes, someone ground it on a grater. Another difference – the presence of boiled eggs and pickles.
