Assorted Ingredients For Meal Preparation Recipe

Beetroot Salad

Begin by grating fresh beetroots into a mixing bowl. Dress the grated beetroots with a mixture of oil, vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a selection of finely chopped herbs such as dill or parsley. Mix until the beetroots are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

Pan-Fried Smelt Fish (Tyulka)

Clean the smelt fish by removing the heads and insides, then rinse them under cold water. Pat dry. Heat a pan on medium-high heat and add a thin layer of oil. Once hot, fry the smelts until they are golden and crispy, flipping them once. Season with salt just before removing them from the pan and serve immediately.

Crispy Flatbreads

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take your choice of pre-made flatbread dough and roll it out thinly on a baking sheet. Prick the surface with a fork to prevent it from puffing too much. Bake until golden and crisp, about 10-15 minutes. Break into pieces or cut into desired shapes and serve.
