Dishes from quinoa. Cabbage soup

I want to tell you how our villagers worked in the rear during the war years. Anna Vasilyevna Shirikalova from the village of Shipitsina is one of them. She is a mother of many children, raised five worthy daughters and a son. Her whole life is connected with her native village, the peasant way. I studied four classes at a local school, in the fifth I had to study in the city, and at the age of 13 I already started working on a farm as a milkmaid. They milked it by hand, carried water in buckets to water the cows, and each milkmaid had 12 goals.

“When the war started,” says Anna Vasilievna, “we, eight girls from the village, were sent to study in the Ilyinsky MTS. These are two Anna and Ekaterina Kondratiev, Elena Shulgina, Zinaida Kazantseva, Valentina and Antonina Shirikalov and I. We went to school on foot, for 20 kilometers. Once a week was given a day off.
  On August 25, after completing the courses, the girls were already planted on tractors. They lived in a trailer, right in the field, immediately cooked lunches and dinners. Bread was given at 300 grams per day. If you do not comply with the norm, then 200 grams. They worked in two shifts, so the tractors did not stand idle.
  “There was such a case,” Anna Vasilievna recalls further. - In the spring they sowed peas. The girls and I decided to take some peas and cook the peas at night. But the collective farm chairman Pavel Nikolayevich Potorochin took the peas and robbed us of bread for two days. Parents of Katya Kondratieva found out about this and sent us cakes of quinoa, nettle and frozen potatoes. They shared them at all, the taste of these cakes was remembered for a lifetime.
  Tractors of the HTZ, SMZ brand had to be started with a handle. The girls puffed and sweated, as they lacked strength. Helped each other. So they worked.
  She remembered another case.
  “They let me go to the bath, but I didn’t get to the bath.” I sat down on the lawn to rest, and when I woke up, I saw it was already evening, and I hurried to shift back, without washing myself in the bathhouse.
After the war ended, men returned from the front and replaced women tractor drivers in the fields. Anna Shirakalova again went to the farm and worked there until retirement. Agniya Bykova, a home front worker, recalls how Anna Vasilievna, already a mother of many children, came running to the farm, always neatly dressed, in a white scarf. She managed to do everything: both her work was flawlessly completed and the children were used - to feed, drink, and wash. I taught my daughters to cleanliness and order. After the war, Agniya Andreyevna herself worked in a kindergarten with her daughter, Valya. According to her, such parenting can only be envied: hardworking, friendly, honest. Daughter Zhenya graduated from teacher training college, worked at school, the city party committee, and the district executive committee. Valya - in the registry of the court, Alexandra worked at one of the Perm plants until retirement. Nadezhda is a cook, Tatyana is a laboratory assistant at a construction institute also in Perm. Son Yuri is a master owner, a small hut where his family lives, like a toy, everything is done with skillful hands.
  The husband of Anna Vasilyevna, Mikhail Dmitrievich Shirikalov, returned from the war in 1944, all wounded, and died that same year. There was a widow with six children, and she never married again. In the post-war years, life was also difficult, but Anna Vasilievna, like many women of her generation, did not break down, adequately raised her children, and now in old age they take care of her. She is a rich grandmother, has
  9 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren.
  Honor and praise to the women workers of the rear, with whose hands the land was cultivated and bread was cultivated. A deep bow to everyone who worked under the motto “Everything for the front, everything for the Victory!”

According to the recollections of many people, at critical moments in history when there was not enough food, quinoa was saved - weed, which we send in compost at best. Meanwhile, this plant is widely represented in cooking. One of its names is nut groats, and the balanda was named after borrowing the name Mari White (its second name) from the Lithuanian language.

Quinoa is not cultivated in the culture, so you need to carefully weigh where to get it. It is not worth pulling out plants in a landfill or on the fields of collective farms and state farms, since it is likely that they are treated with herbicides. It is best to pick this weed grown in the shade of an abandoned garden.

If you see a person who specifically grows quinoa in the garden to eat it later, then you will probably think that this is sheer nonsense. Indeed, quinoa in the general understanding is just a weed. But in fact, in ancient times, the quinoa was called wild sorrel. It contains a number of useful properties that contribute to maintaining the vitality of the body.

There are two varieties of quinoa - green and red. Red quinoa is an ornamental plant unsuitable for food. Green quinoa is used for salads, appetizers, soups and main dishes. It does not have a pronounced taste, but it is enriched with vitamins. Also, quinoa is used to decorate dishes.

What dishes to use the quinoa

In Russia, the quinoa was added to cabbage soup and botvini. Also, it was quite appropriately combined with sauerkraut. Seeds of quinoa were cleaned and cooked porridge from them in a hungry year. To taste, this porridge resembled buckwheat. They cleaned the seeds only because their shell contains a component that causes an acidic taste.

The quinoa should be eaten in early spring, while the shoots have not yet bloomed. It is during this period that the grass has a more saturated taste. Before picking a quinoa, you need to make sure that the bottom of the leaves is white. If the leaves have a different shade, then this is wild-growing grass, and it will be bitter in taste, and some varieties of wild quinoa are poisoned.

You can cook quinoa as an independent dish. But at the same time, more spices should be added to the grass to enhance the taste. Sauces, especially sour cream and homemade mayonnaise, are also excellent for quinoa.

Lebeda was used in Russia to treat many diseases. The main ones are rheumatism, treatment of mucous membranes, wound healing, burns. As a prophylactic, quinoa was consumed raw or boiled. Also, the constant use of quinoa in food contributes to the normalization of the circulatory and digestive systems.

Quinoa in a raw food diet

One of the most common plants on the menu of raw foodists is spreading quinoa, which was eaten in ancient Greece. In pre-revolutionary Russia, impoverished peasants baked bread from a quinoa mixed with rye flour. They made stews and soups from a mixture of quinoa with sorrel, sour, sour, beet tops and radishes.

Light green matte quinoa leaves serve as a fortifying vitamin remedy. The leaves of quinoa are especially rich in vitamin C, they have calcium and zinc, cobalt and magnesium.

It is best to eat young juicy tops of shoots and leaves fresh, but experienced vegetarians harvest them for the winter and marinated. Salads from quinoa leaves are especially tasty with dishes of flour, with cucumbers, tomatoes or chillies.

Garden quinoa is an annual herbaceous plant 60-150 cm high. The folk names of the quinoa are flour grass, wild spinach. Everything is sometimes red. Often the plants are covered with silvery hairs, which makes them look like sprinkled with flour.

Young leaves and tender stems can be used for borscht, side dishes, sauces, mashed potatoes, etc. In a pickled or pickled form, quinoa shoots are suitable for softening spicy salads and vinaigrettes.

Growing a quinoa in the garden might seem a little strange to someone. But not everyone knows that this is an annual vegetable greens, or rather, an excellent food and medicinal herb. Quinoa is considered a commonplace weed. But her popular names: wild spinach, flour grass, they just say that these greens have long been eaten. There is even a saying: "It doesn’t matter that in rye quinoa." However, only green-leafed species of quinoa (those that are introduced into the vegetable crop) are consumed as food.

Red-leafed forms are used as ornamental plants. Quinoa greens, like spinach, have no pronounced taste, but it is a hearty, vitamin component in salads and other dishes.

Garden quinoa or vegetable quinoa is an cultivated form of wild quinoa grass. It was cultivated by the ancient Greeks. Cultivated, it was used as a decorative and food plant at the same time. The poetry of ancient Greek poets was even dedicated to Lebed.

In the wild, it can be found everywhere. Quinoa has long been consumed in Russia and not only in hungry lean years. Edible both young greens and peeled seeds.

Widely distributed in the Caucasus and grown on small private farms, and in some countries of southern and central Europe on an industrial scale.

Its greens are harvested like any other green culture: they are salted, pickled, frozen and even fermented like cabbage. In the refrigerator at a temperature of 1-2 degrees, fresh herbs are stored for no more than 2 days.

Our ancestors also noticed that quinoa is inferior in nutritional value to products of animal origin. And the reason for this "satiety" is that it is very rich in protein (valuable protein). It is used fresh in salads, borsch, hot and cold vegetable soups, in vegetable side dishes, omelettes.

In Russia, it was used in stews and cabbage soup, and botvini. Young leaves were pickled and fermented like cabbage. Seeds peeled from the shell (the seed shell has a bitter taste) was used to prepare cutlets and cereals, which are similar in taste and nutrition to buckwheat. Seed flour was added to rye and wheat when baking bread. At the same time, bread was better baked, became more nutritious and did not stale longer than usual. In the old lean and war years, quinoa often saved people from starvation.

Quinoa is consumed while it is young - before flowering begins. When using its wild-growing form, make sure that the underside of the leaves has a white powdery coating. The fact is that some of its wild species that do not have a powdery coating on the leaves have a bitter taste and can be poisonous.

Quinoa as an independent dish is usually consumed with the addition of various spices and herbs (peppers, onions, garlic, parsley, sorrel, etc.), as well as sour cream, mayonnaise and various sauces.
