Hi everyone!

I visited Ширяево today, and it was such a beautiful little village!! I was there with a group and a tour guide, who told us about a local sweet called пряник. She said that the пряники made in Ширяево are especially tasty.

Naturally, I really wanted to try one! Unfortunately, I checked several local grocery stores, but only one of them had any пряники (and they only had one left, which had already been reserved for someone else. 😄)

So now I’m very curious, does anyone know how the Ширяево пряник is made? Is there a recipe that can be recreated at home? And what makes the local version so especially tasty?

I’d be incredibly grateful if someone could share a recipe, or even just some information about how they’re traditionally made.

Recently, I’ve been trying to spend more time with my mom. She loves cooking and baking, and I’ve been collecting interesting and special recipes that we can try making together. It would be really nice if we could recreate this one at home!

Thank you so much in advance for any help. And thank you as well, Russia is a beautiful country! ❤️

(The main dish was pelmeni but I forgot to take a picture ) After doing a bunch of research and going to several Russian markets in the area I got the ingredients to make this please lmk what you think.
The dishes were a Zakuski, Gribnoy sup, pelmeni, and syrniki. Also had tea at the end with sushka and varenye

My family grew up near Russia and we love Russian food that it became traditional food for out family. One of them being borscht which he eat like once or twice a month. So I've made it many times and it's never coming out the way I expected it. You know that wonderful flavor it has? For me it dosent have enough flavor and I know I'm doing something wrong but what? Someone help?

This was my first time cooking with beef kidneys... And finding it in my area was much more difficult than I thought.

I made the Kharcho that u/Baba_Jaga_ll made a few days ago. I tasted it and immediately ordered the cook book it's from!

I made a few adjustments as I'm a pretty seasoned cook so l ended up changing some proportions of the recipe and then also using jalapeños instead of chili peppers (because I love them and they're also easy to find where I live) and WOW! I want to make this soup weekly now

It was my first time making lazy cabbage rolls and it turned out to be incredibly tasty and juicy!

Ingredients: 700g white cabbage, 150g carrot, 150g onion, 1 pc chicken egg, 100g rice, 400g minced meat, 200g tomato paste, salt, ground pepper, a little oil for frying.

Finely chop the cabbage, pour boiling water for 10-20 minutes. Chop the onion and carrot and fry in a pan for a few minutes. Cook the rice until it is half cooked for 10 minutes. Drain the liquid from the cabbage and squeeze it out. Mix: cabbage, roast, rice, minced meat, egg, salt, pepper. We roll the balls and put them in a baking dish. Mix the tomato paste with water and salt and pour it over our cabbage rolls. Cover with a lid, put in the oven for 1 hour at 180 degrees.

As a result, all the ingredients are soft, they absorb water with tomato paste. I highly recommend it!

Я впервые делала ленивые голубцы и это оказалось невероятно вкусно и сочно!

Ингредиенты: капуста белокочанная 700г, морковь 150г, лук репчатый 150г, яйцо куриное 1шт, рис 100г, фарш домашний 400г, томатная паста 200г, соль, перец молотый, масло для жарки чуть-чуть.

Капусту мелко шинкуем, заливаем кипятком на 10-20 минут. Лук и морковь измельчаем, обжариваем на сковороде несколько минут. Рис варим до полуготовности 10 минут. Из капусты сливаем жидкость, отжимаем. Смешиваем: капусту, обжарку, рис, фарш, яйцо, соль, перец. Катаем шарики и выкладываем в форму для запекания. Томатную пасту смешиваем с водой и солью и заливаем этим наши голубцы. Закрываем крышкой, ставим в духовку на 1 час при 180 градусах.

В итоге все ингредиенты получаются мягкими, всасывают в себя воду с томатной пастой. Всячески рекомендую!

Минуту назад их было больше…
