TOP 10 unusual Ural dishes. Part 4

The Russian North is rich in all kinds of gifts of nature. In the previous parts, we have already talked about a delicious cloudberry delicacy, as well as a dessert made from pine cones and candied rhubarb fruits. But besides them, another wild plant is used in the Urals - a marsh berry that grows on the territory of Ugra. Moreover, these wild plants have been used for food since antiquity.

The berries were collected and processed by representatives of such peoples as the Khanty and Mansi, as well as the Komi. Previously, the berry fields were even guarded. And this is no accident. After all, the unique taste of the marsh berry wonderfully complements its useful composition. For the first time, this product is mentioned in the old book Domostroy, published in the 16th century. Various useful tips were published in it.

Initially, the berry was used for medicinal purposes. But today Ugra chefs grind it with sugar, getting a natural, healthy sweetness.

The selection is completed with delicacies from the Argayash goose. This bird is a kind of visiting card of the region, which is rich in green lands and reservoirs. It is here that there are all the conditions for breeding domestic geese, which have been kept here since the 19th century.

The Argayash goose is still the main source of income for many residents of the area. This bird is also grown on an industrial scale. The most popular dish from the Argayash goose is meat cooked in its own juice. It can perform both solo and in tandem with cereals, vegetables and fruits. Many who travel around the Urals strive to taste this tender, dietary meat.

In a series of articles, the unique dishes prepared by the producers of the Urals were considered. You can find out more about the brands themselves and the people who stand behind them on the website flavorsrossii.rf. Competitions of regional food industry enterprises are also held there.
