Method of cooking pickle with chicken and beans
Chicken my cold water, if necessary, firing feathers. Cut the bird in portions, put in the pan.
My onion heads, cut crosswise. Husk need not be removed, it will give the broth for pickle with mushrooms and chicken a golden color.
Separate the top green leaves from the leek stem, cut into strips. Peel off the garlic cloves.
Put leek, garlic and onion heads in a pan.
Add carrots, a few leaves of laurel, dried parsley root and one teaspoon of black peppercorns.
Pour cold water (about 2.5 liters), pour salt to taste.
Bring the broth to a boil, remove the foam with a slotted spoon. Turn off the gas, close the pot with a lid, cook on low heat for 1 hour.
We take out pieces of chicken and carrots from the pan, filter the broth through a sieve.
While the chicken is boiling, prepare the vegetables. Clean potatoes, cut into cubes of medium size. Rinse celery stalks with cold water, cut into cubes. Onions clean, chop finely. So that when cutting onions do not “pinch” the eyes, the knife blade should be moistened with cold water.
We chop a carrot, peeled into thin strips. Salted cucumbers cut into small cubes. Beans are thrown back on the sieve, the liquid from the jars is drained, it is not needed in this recipe. However, pouring the liquid is not worth it; it will serve as a good basis for the sauce.
In a deep pan with a thick bottom, pour a few tablespoons of cooking oil for frying, throw in onions, carrots and celery. Fry the vegetables on high heat for a few minutes, until they are soft.
Then put the potatoes in the pan, pour the chicken broth, cook our pickle with chicken and beans for 15 minutes, then add the cucumbers and beans.
Cook it all together for another 15 minutes, at the end add salt to taste, pepper with freshly ground pepper.
In portions, lay the pieces of chicken, pour the pickle, sprinkle with pepper and herbs, season with sour cream.
