Recipes »  Side Dish  »  Casseroles

I'm not sure this is "real" solyanka, because I think that would be some kind of meat stew. But this is a recipe called Solyanka, which is more like a potato and cabbage and cheese casserole, and it came from the original Moosewood cookbook. Whatever it is, it tastes good.

"This is one of my all time favorite recipes. For a casserole that seems that it would be bland, this one is bursting with a combination of flavors that we don't usually use in American foods. The caraway/dill combination is so delicious! I usually leave out the carrots - the bright orange clashes with this "white" meal and it seems that they would add a sweetness that I don't associate with this dish. It is subtly tangy and very filling." - Gabnxe

This is one of my absolute favorites from the original Moosewood book - which I lost and can't seem to replace now. (They took it out of the revised edition, guess it wasn't 'healthy' enough. Boo hiss.) Thanks, stoniest!

I add a half cup of sour cream to the recipe for an even tangier taste. This is a family favorite, and great for leftovers
