Okroshka should be made with kvass - now it's official.
Rosstandart approved the GOST of Russian cuisine, which includes 133 dishes. The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov spoke about it.
The document includes okroshka, kulebyaka, pancakes, borscht, dumplings, vinaigrette, Olivier salad, herring under a fur coat, brushwood and other favorite dishes.
The work on the document took about two years. Historians of Russian cuisine, restaurateurs and representatives of industry associations were involved in its creation. According to the authors, GOST will help preserve authentic recipes and ensure the quality of dishes.
The new standard describes in detail the composition and methods of preparing traditional treats. For example, okroshka is defined as a cold combined dish, consisting of finely chopped baked or fried foods (meat, poultry, game or fish), vegetables and herbs, and seasoned with sour bread kvass.
GOST will not become mandatory for all cafes and restaurants. Restaurants will still be able to cook according to their recipes. But if they want to state that the dish meets the state standard, they will have to meet the requirements set forth.
Kvass or kefir? Let's decide once and for all.
- kefir
- Kvass.
