In Voronezh catering will begin to serve okroshka according to GOST

Rosstandart approved the national standard dedicated to the technology of cooking Russian traditional cuisine. The document covers 133 recipes, including okroshka, borscht, vinaigrette, olive and herring under a fur coat. This was reported in the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

For okroshka, the standard fixes sour bread kvass as a classic dressing. In the dish, according to the recommendations, add finely sliced baked or fried meat, poultry, game or fish, as well as fresh cucumbers, green onions and spicy herbs. Boiled eggs, mushrooms, smoked meats, cancerous necks, capers, olives and lemons are allowed. If desired, kvass is allowed to combine with cucumber or berry brine. Kefir and other dairy products are not provided in this recipe.

It is recommended to serve okroshka chilled - no higher than 14 degrees - and without bone inclusions. In addition to the composition, GOST describes the cooking technologies and rules for serving all included dishes.

The standard is voluntary. Catering establishments can continue to offer okroshka on kefir, mineral water or whey, but it will be impossible to indicate that such a dish corresponds to the approved GOST. If a restaurant claims to work according to the standard, it will have to comply with all its requirements.

The document was developed by Roskoshestvo and a working group under the Ministry of Industry and Trade with the involvement of specialists in gastronomy and food history. GOST comes into force on January 1, 2027, but institutions can begin to apply it ahead of schedule.
