Preparation
- For the broth, lean pork with ribs works great. Cut the meat into portions and sauté in the multicooker. While the meat is frying, prepare the following ingredients.
- For the soup, it is better to use steamed rice. Rinse the grains several times until the water is clear. Place the rice in a colander to drain.
- The dressing can be prepared directly in the multicooker or in a frying pan. Place the tomato paste in the frying pan and sauté for a minute. Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters and add them to the frying pan. You can peel them beforehand.
- Onion and green onions will also be needed for kharcho.
- Add the onion to the frying pan, chopped into medium cubes. Sugar will balance the acidity of the tomatoes and the bitterness of the onion. Add sugar to taste.
- In many recipes, carrot is not added to kharcho soup. In our version, we take one medium carrot.
- Cut the carrot into very thin strips. Also, add it to the frying pan.
- Prepare the spices according to the recipe or select them to your taste. Add everything to the dressing. Also, finely chop the garlic cloves with a knife or pass them through a press.
- The dressing can be diluted with a small amount of water or tomato juice. About twenty grams of butter will give the soup an even richer flavor and a bright color to the dressing.
- Add the rice, dressing, and two liters of water to the multicooker with the meat. Close the lid tightly. Cook with the lid closed, set the timer for fifty minutes.
- After the signal, do not rush to open the multicooker lid, wait until the pressure settles and the soup stops boiling. After about ten minutes, the pot can be opened. The kharcho soup turned out incredibly tasty and aromatic, as it contains many spices. Pour the soup into portioned bowls and serve. Add chopped green onions and a sprig of parsley.
