Ingredients

Selection of ingredients

• Beef is one of the main ingredients of Kharcho.   For soup, usually take beef on the bone.
• Of course, it is better to give preference to fresh meat, rather than frozen. It is more appreciated and easier to review and choose upon purchase. First of all, pay attention to color. Fresh beef has a rich red color.
• If there is a brownish tint, then this meat is far from a young animal. Fat on fresh meat should have a white, delicate color. It may even crumble a little. If the color of the fat is yellow, it means, most likely, the meat is tough.
• Do not buy beef that is sold in a pool of blood.
• The meat should be dry and firm to the touch. Fresh meat has no additional, unpleasant odors. For the preparation of soup, meat of such parts of the animal is most suitable: back, rump, neck, brisket, brisket, flank, thigh and drumstick.

Other cooking options

As an acidic base, tklapi is usually used - dried mashed dogwood or plums, as well as Tkemali plum sauce, as in our recipe. It is replaced with Satsebeli sauce or pomegranate juice.

Some hostesses add tomato paste (in which case the soup turns saturated red) and lemon juice to give the soup the necessary acidity. It just so happened that everyone, even a beginner, a culinary person adds something of his own to the classic recipe.

If desired, “Kharcho” put potatoes, bell peppers, carrots and tomatoes. Cilantro is ideal for greens for this soup, but if not, add parsley and dill. Of the herbs - dried and chopped dill, coriander, marjoram and basil.

In a slow cooker, other soups are also very well prepared, for example pea soup in a slow cooker, or borsch in a slow cooker. The most important thing in cooking with the multicooker is that you do not need to follow the process, because you can completely trust your little housekeeper in this matter, who can easily cope with the preparation of the first dishes.

It's no secret that dishes cooked in a slow cooker come out much tastier than when cooked in the traditional way in a pan. What is the secret?

This temperature regime allows all products to cook gradually, prevents them from being digested and becoming an unknown mass. In the kitchens of the peoples of the world there are a lot of dishes that, during cooking, languish under the lid. Traditional Georgian kharcho soup is one of them. Each mistress has her own recipe for this thick soup, each adds its own zest to it.

Kharcho soup in a slow cooker has a rich taste, which cannot be achieved when cooking on a gas or electric stove. The thing is the lack of the function of languor in them, which plays an important role in this dish. Cooking soup in a slow cooker helps products reveal their taste, they certainly will not be digested. Kharcho is historically customary to cook in an oven, modern equipment fully imitates this process, allowing to achieve the same result.

Features of Kharcho Soup

Disputes about the classic recipe for soup arise constantly, but each housewife can cook it with its own characteristics. You can highlight the characteristics that are suitable for any option:

• a large number of spices, spices and herbs;
• sour base (traditionally it is tklapi and sun-dried mashed tkemali or cornel);
• beef, rice and walnuts.

Replacing traditional ingredients often occurs as needed. Classic Kharcho soup consists of components that are not always obtained in stores. It is popular to replace tklapi with satsebeli, tkemali sauce, tomato paste, in extreme cases, you can use pomegranate or other sour juice. Beef is often replaced with lamb, sometimes it is possible to use pork or chicken.

There is a widespread misconception in Russia that lamb is the main ingredient, the very name of the soup “dzrohis khortsi harshot” is translated as “beef for kharcho”.

In some kharcho recipes in the slow cooker there are no walnuts, although in the classical recipe it can not do without them. Not everyone likes nuts; finding a recipe without them is easy on the Internet. Cilantro gives a special flavor to the soup, it is difficult to find it in central Russia, so you can replace it with aromatic parsley. Consider the most popular recipes for kharcho soup in a slow cooker.

First recipe

To make soup, we need the following ingredients:

• beef or lamb - 500 g;
• onion - 2 pcs;
• carrots - 2 pcs;
• bell pepper - 2 pcs;
• large tomatoes - 2 pcs;
• rice - 1 cup;
• salt, garlic, herbs, bay leaves, spices - to taste.

This recipe is good for cooking at home. The first step is to cut the meat into small pieces. Next, dice the potatoes, onions, sweet bell peppers and tomatoes. Carrots are rubbed on a medium grater. The meat must be fried in vegetable oil for 20 minutes. Onions, carrots, peppers, tomatoes are added at intervals of 5 minutes, then you need to wait for the signal to end the regime.

It is important to take into account during the preparation process that rice swells greatly, it is important to correctly calculate its amount.

After frying, the remaining components are added to the bowl, the tank is filled with water to the upper mark. The number of spices depends on the taste of the hostess. Soup is cooked for an hour and a half in the "Stew" mode. Closer to the end of the operation, you need to prepare a bay leaf, garlic and finely chopped greens, passed through the press. It remains to add all this to the bowl, set the “Heating” mode on Panasonic, after which the soup will be ready for use.

Second recipe

Cooking kharcho soup in a slow cooker is better with beef meat, which we took care of when preparing the second soup recipe. Pork and lamb meat is suitable if you want to cook a dish, but a suitable component is not available.

For cooking at home, you will need the following ingredients:

• beef fillet - 600 g;
• rice - 250 g;
• walnuts - 100 g;
• satsebeli sauce - 150 g;
• 1 onion;
• cloves of garlic - 4 pcs;
• suneli hops - 2 teaspoons;
• ground red pepper - 1 teaspoon;
• black pepper, salt, greens - to taste.

The meat is cut into small pieces, laid out in a cup and filled with water. It is required to set the “Extinguishing” mode for an hour, it runs differently on different models of Polaris and Panasonic, for details see the instructions. The broth needs to be filtered.

Onion is fried in vegetable oil in the “Baking” mode for 5 minutes, then switch to “Braising” and add broth with meat, rice, chopped walnuts, sauce, spices, pepper and salt in the amount indicated in the list of ingredients. 20 minutes after the start of cooking, garlic skipped under the press is added. The final stage is the “Heating” mode, which in 10 minutes brings the dish to its optimal state.

A variety of cooking methods

Many people notice that one version of kharcho in the photo is significantly different from the other in color, and there is a difference between the recipes in taste. The classic recipe is rarely used, the soup is made from pork and other types of meat, beef is not the only option. Tomato paste is often used as an additive, which helps the soup in a slow cooker to fully reveal its taste.

Every housewife has secrets of cooking, which makes her soup an original creation without analogues.

In Russia, the soup experienced the influence of European taste on cooking, modern recipes in a slow cooker are vivid evidence. In the photo of a traditional Georgian dish, one cannot find many of the ingredients that are widely used in Europe and Russia. You can’t call such a merging of cultures good or bad, it just helps to discover new taste faces in a classic soup. Often when cooking in a slow cooker, the following components are used:

• carrot;
• potatoes;
• tomatoes
• garlic;
• fresh tomatoes;
• sweet (Bulgarian) or hot pepper;

In Georgian soup recipes, these products are absent, however, in modern European cuisine they can not do without them. Before cooking, you should make sure that the multicooker has the necessary functions and modes. Their names may differ, but essentially the same, Polaris and other manufacturing companies have different approaches to manufacturing goods. Cooking soup in a slow cooker is not difficult, most of the functions are performed automatically, you just need to add the ingredients correctly.

This soup is perhaps my favorite. I was conquered by his taste, in which salty, sour and sweet came together and made friends very well. It is this balance (provided that it is maintained correctly) that guarantees the success of your kharcho. If you wish, you can add spicy to this company. But, since I was preparing kharcho for children as well, I had to refuse the acute component of the taste balance. Most often I cook chicken soups, this time was no exception.

Well, a few words about the fact of making kharcho in a multicooker. Firstly, it is very convenient. You can leave the case before the end of cooking kharcho. You do not have to worry that the liquid will boil away (although this is possible, but only in small quantities) and you will have to replenish it. You can cook wonderful kharcho soup in the country or in a student dormitory, or even on vacation (provided that your cartoon is with you). There are many advantages to this type of cooking, and this is only part.

Ingredients:

• 3 carrots (medium-large)
• 1 chicken leg
• 300 ml tomato juice
• 6-8 tablespoons of rice
• bulb
• bay leaf
• sugar
• ground black pepper
• sunflower oil
• parsley

Kharcho in the slow cooker. Recipe with photo

Kharcho is very tasty when it has a lot of carrots. But it must first be fried. We clean the carrots, wash and rub on a coarse grater. We turn the slow cooker on the “fry” mode and add a little sunflower oil (about 3 tablespoons) to the bowl. We put the carrot in the bowl and fry it for about 7 minutes, stirring it with a spatula from time to time.

Then we pour 2-2.5 liters of water into the carrot bowl and switch the mode to “cook”. Add bay leaf, ham and onion to the water. If you want to see potatoes in your kharcho, then it's time to add it (peeled and diced into small cubes). I made my kharcho soup without potatoes. Close the multi lid and cook the broth for 1 hour.

After an hour, open the lid and remove the onion and bay leaf from the broth. We don’t need them anymore. We put rice in the broth and add tomato juice. Close the lid of the multicooker and cook the kharcho for another 20 minutes.

Then salt the kharcho to taste (approximately about half a tablespoon of salt), add sugar (a tablespoon without a hill) and season the kharcho with finely chopped parsley. Pepper the soup of your choice. If you like spicy food - add a half-centimeter slice of hot pepper in the kharcho while laying the rice. We take out the chicken from the soup and separate the meat from the bone, chop the meat a little into smaller pieces and return to the kharcho.

Kharcho in the slow cooker   ready and looking forward to being eaten 🙂 I won’t test his patience, but have a nice meal!

Delicious kharcho soup in a slow cooker

Ingredients

• 200 g of chicken;
• 4 potatoes;
• 1 large onion;
• 1 carrot;
• 70 g long grain rice;
• 1.5 tbsp tomato paste;
• 1.5 tbsp tkemali;
• 3 cloves of garlic;
• 2 tsp salts;
• 3 liters of water.

Cooking

For some reason, in a slow cooker, kharcho soup is tastier than on the stove. Therefore, I usually do not have a question where to cook soup at the moment. Of course, I choose a trusted multi-cook assistant, tested over the years.

Let's start with the vegetables. Take medium-sized potatoes, cut the peel and cut the vegetable into cubes or cubes.

Peel a large onion and cut into small cubes.

Scrape the carrots and grate on a coarse or fine grater. You can also cut carrots into small strips.

Put chopped potatoes, onions and carrots in the multicooker bowl.

Recipes for a healthy diet:

Rice for kharcho can not be soaked in advance, it manages to cook in an hour. Just rinse it with running water and transfer it to the multicooker bowl.

Rinse the chicken and trim all unnecessary parts. Put it in the multicooker on top of the rest of the ingredients.

Put salt and hops in the pan.

Now add the tomato paste and tkemali. Instead of pasta, you can pour a glass of tomato juice, but tkemali is difficult to replace with something, because it is a sour and piquant plum sauce. Add the required amount of water, close the lid and cook the kharcho soup for an hour in the Soup (Stewing) mode.

While the soup is cooking, prepare the garlic. Remove the husk and pass it through a press or cut into small cubes. After 40 minutes of cooking the kharcho, remove the chicken ham from the multicooker, cool it, remove the meat and send it back to the soup.
