Olivier recipe traditional

Various sources constantly do not fail to point out the supposedly “French” origin of the salad. The creator of the recipe is said to be a certain chef Olivier, who supposedly ran a restaurant in St. Petersburg in the 19th century and offered his guests, in addition to other dishes, also an outlandish Olivier salad, the recipe of which he kept in the strictest confidence.

The composition of the salad is considered lost, and all the later improvisations on the same topic were only recreated based on the feelings and memoirs of former restaurant guests.

It is possible that most of the story given to us was simply invented for marketing purposes during the NEP, when enterprising citizens reopened a restaurant in the same premises. After all, you must admit that even in our time “Olivier salad” sounds more tempting than the most recent name - “Stolichny”.

Since the possibility of making a mistake with every other recipe “found in the attic” is almost 100 percent, we suggest that the Russian version of the salad still be considered a classic. In particular, it is usually cut into bowls almost for New Year's celebrations, and with it, and not with the mysterious dish of caviar and hazel grouse, so many jokes, anecdotes and completely real stories are connected.

Ingredients

Testicles (3 pcs);
Potatoes (2 huge);
Carrots (100 g);
Boiled sausage (250 g);
Mayonnaise (100-200 g);
Pickled cucumbers (100-200g);
Green peas (100-200 g).

Having listed the ingredients used in Olivier, it is impossible not to talk separately about any of them, at least briefly, because we will still try to prepare the treat as it was first presented in Russian culinary literature.

So, in order:

Large testicles of the selected group are what is needed. If it is possible to change them, even if they are the smallest ones, but at home, be sure to do so, increasing the number by one piece.

Potatoes are included in the ingredients for Olivier in an indispensable order, and the salad depends almost on its taste. It is worth boiling it in the skin, so choose a variety that does not boil into powder, but remains elastic.

Carrots don’t have to be bitter, the important thing is that they are catchy and dense. Cook it separately from the potatoes, adding a little sugar to the peeled root vegetables.

Sausage in Olivier salad, the traditional recipe usually gives without lard. If you prefer GOST “Amateur” with dense pieces of lard, the salad will not get any worse. But if possible, use good quality “Doctor’s” or “Creamy”.

Mayonnaise is only “Provencal”, and it must contain either mustard oil or powder. Don’t despair if you don’t find the sauce you want; the ingredients for traditional Olivier are designed for products from a bygone era, but a small amount of ready-made strong mustard will help you out quite a bit.

According to the recipe, only pickled cucumbers The size of the fruit is not important, but keep in mind that larger ones usually have stronger skin. It is acceptable to replace pickled cucumbers with pickled ones, but before preparing Olivier with them, chop and squeeze out the excess brine.

Peas should be very tender; traditional Olivier cannot be prepared from rough peas. If you don’t know a manufacturer of such canned food that has not let you down with quality, then look among the glass jars for the one with the greenest and... smallest peas.

The spread in the quantities of the three components of the salad is almost twofold and this is not an error! Having first mixed a small amount of goods, then adjust the desired taste of the salad by adding others, introducing them in small portions and stirring before testing.

How to prepare Olivier salad, step-by-step description:

How to cook “Traditional Olivier recipe”

How to cook Olivier? First you need to boil peeled potatoes, carrots and eggs.

Having selected all the ingredients you need for the salad, start by boiling the vegetables and eggs. It may be convenient to create this in one pan, as is recommended from time to time, but this is not a traditional Olivier recipe; the recipe that we want to offer is designed for boiling all goods separately.
Boiling eggs in salted water will take 10 minutes from boiling; with vegetables it is a little more difficult. Check their readiness by pricking them with a knife. When the potatoes and carrots begin to slide off the blade freely enough, immediately drain the boiling water and lay out the vegetables to cool.
Before making Olivier, peel and cut the sausage into circles. Then spread them out into strips and finally into cubes, less than a centimeter on each side.

Do not cut the Olivier into small pieces; the traditional recipe assumes that individual ingredients will be felt in the salad. The most unforgivable mistake is to transform the salad into a mishmash of finely chopped goods.

Cut all ingredients (except peas) into small and equal-sized cubes.

Following the sausage, cut the potatoes into slightly smaller pieces. Cut the carrots and cucumbers, squeezed out of excess water, into pieces twice as small as sausage pieces.
Of the remaining goods that require cutting into Olivier salad, the Olivier recipe contains only eggs. The yolk, as you know, crumbles quite easily, so separate the eggs and cut them separately. Try to keep the yolk pieces intact; you can create them larger and the white smaller.
So, all the preliminary procedures have been completed, before preparing Olivier, let's return to mayonnaise.

If you want to use your own homemade sauce in your salad, please note that we make it only with lemon juice! Not a drop of vinegar! We add homemade mayonnaise to the salad only before serving; it is unsafe to store such a salad dressed for more than 6 hours, even in the cold. In addition, homemade mayonnaise does not contain any special thickeners, and therefore it is better to add it to the traditional Olivier salad as late as possible. This way the treat will not soften and will be very dense.

Pour the chopped ingredients into a salad bowl, mix thoroughly, add peas, season the salad with mayonnaise, then mix thoroughly again.

We combine the products and add cucumbers and peas in parts. Mix thoroughly, do not add mayonnaise yet. Take a sample and evaluate the salinity and juiciness of the salad. The correctly selected Olivier composition should be moderately juicy and salty.
Next, by adding peas and cucumbers, adjust the taste to your desired taste.
It's time to add salt to the salad and season it with mayonnaise. Please note, this is a very important moment!

Since you and I are preparing Olivier according to a traditional recipe, you need to see that it does not require salt. Cucumbers and sausage should contain the required amount of salt. Since modern products are undersalted by the manufacturers themselves, salt may ultimately come in handy for you.

To begin with, adding just a little salt, season the salad with about half the mayonnaise. Stir and take a sample. Then add sauce and salt at your own discretion.
When serving Olivier, the recipe requires it to cool. This is quite comfortable and an option if the festive table includes hot dishes. Cover the bowl or cover with film and place in the general section of the refrigerator for half an hour.

Serving Olivier is as ordinary as possible

The classic is to serve the salad in crystal vases or portion it into small bowls. You can decorate with herbs; often half the boiled protein is placed into portions, filled with reddish caviar or its imitation. Serving small portions of salad on small flat plates, form it into a mound.

A short note is worth making about how to create Olivier according to a traditional recipe, replacing sausage with other meat products. Most often, this role for us is played by snow-white chicken meat (boiled or smoked), boiled beef tongues. If you dare to make such a substitution, be sure to keep in mind that the products should be juicy, soft and quite salty.

In order to replace boiled meat with sausage, it is convenient to cook it in a pressure cooker. If you time it correctly, you will get quite juicy and tender slices.

Cultural code: famous Olivier

We have re-read ancient cookbooks and are ready to share with you real recipes for the most popular salad in Russia.

The Frenchman Lucien Olivier, the chef of the Hermitage restaurant on Trubnaya Square, hardly planned to end up in the history of Russian gastronomy. But I got it. The snack he invented in the 60s of the 19th century for the sated guests of an expensive restaurant quickly caught the taste of the capital’s public. At that time, the Russian state cuisine - nourishing, plentiful, but quite ordinary - was gradually changing under the pressure of an assertive fashion for everything French.

Olivier got it right: his signature appetizer with a special Provençal sauce, the grandfather of modern mayonnaise, actually immediately became the signature dish of the Hermitage. In the book “Moscow and Muscovites,” the writer Gilyarovsky said: “It was considered especially chic when the Frenchman Olivier prepared dinners, even then famous for the Olivier salad he invented, without which dinner would not be lunch and the secret of which he did not reveal. No matter how hard the gourmets tried, it didn’t work out: this and that .

Culinary historians usually agree that it was the sauce: the cook Lucien, himself a native of Provence, had an unrivaled understanding of the local oil and used only a certain type of it. But this secret was quickly revealed, and within a couple of years the salad entered the menu of all decent public catering establishments.

In the next decade, the salad became so popular that its recipes began to appear in cookbooks for a wealthy audience. These are not books for young, inexperienced housewives and not “the secret secrets of a cheap lunch.” Olivier requires experienced hands—and money.

Culinary Administration, 1897

Necessary products and their proportions for 5 people.

Hazel grouse - 3 pcs., potatoes - 5 pcs., cucumbers - 5 pcs., salad - 2 cobs, Provencal - ½ bottle. butter, crayfish necks - 15 pcs., lanspicou - 1 glass, olives, gherkins - only ¼ pound, truffles - 3 pcs. Production instructions: Sear, gut, season and fry natural banquet shot hazel grouse, cool and remove all the flesh from the bones. Cut the fillets into blankets, and lightly chop the rest of the pulp. Make a good broth from the game bones, from which you can later prepare lanspik. Boil the potatoes in their skins, then peel them and pull them out into a hole the size of a three-kopeck coin, and chop the trimmings. Peel the fresh cucumbers and cut into thin slices. Cut the truffles into circles. Boil the crayfish and take from their neck. Prepare a thick Provençal sauce, add Kabul Son for spiciness, and a little heavy cream for the best taste and color. Peel large olives using a screw. When everything is prepared, take a glass vase or a deep salad bowl and start laying everything in rows. First, put the trimmings of game and potatoes on the bottom, lightly seasoning them with Provençal, then put a row of game on top, then some potatoes, cucumbers, some truffles, olives and crayfish necks, pour all this with some of the sauce so that it is juicy, put a row of game on top again and etc. Throw some of the crayfish necks and truffles on top for decoration. When all the products are placed in a vase in the form of a slide, then cover the top with Provençal so that the goods are not visible. Place some kind of salad in the middle of the vase as a bouquet, and arrange crayfish necks, claws from boiled crayfish and truffles around it more beautifully. Chop the frozen lanspik, place it in a cornet, create a narrow luxurious mesh on top and cool everything well.

Note: Using literally the same method, you can prepare a salad from the remaining hot meat: beef, veal, grouse, chicken, etc., also from any non-bone fish.
From time to time, if desired, you can add the freshest tomatoes, cut into circles, to these salads. But the real Olivier appetizer is always prepared from hazel grouse. Note: Lanspik is a thickened, sticky, transparent broth with the density of jelly. To get a bottle of ready-made lanspeak, you need to take a bottle of ready-made broth and 12 sheets of gelatin, or a veal head, or two ox legs, or 5-6 veal legs.

In other books of this period you can find recipes without olives, but, for example, with pressed caviar or lobster. There are many options, but one thing in common: in the 19th century, Olivier was a layered salad for the upper classes. But having stepped from restaurants to home tables, Olivier gradually loses its culinary snobbery and becomes more democratic.

Cookbook, 1912

Olivier salad. Proportion: chickens - 1 pc., boiled potatoes - 5 pcs., new cucumbers - 5 pcs., truffles - 1 pc., Provencal sauce - 4 table. spoons.

Preparation: boil the chicken in broth and, after removing it, cool it, remove all the flesh, both fillet and legs, cut diagonally, thinly, into planks.
Take a large potato, round it into a column and cut it into kopecks. Peel and chop the freshest cucumbers thinly. Place all this in a saucepan, add a little salt, add Provencal sauce and mix, and then put it in a salad bowl, level it with a mound, top it with shredded truffles, and the salad is ready, served especially as an appetizer. Note: Salad de boeuf (appetizer). The same as Olivier, but the difference is that you need to take boiled meat instead of chicken. Cut the meat into thin leaves, combine with cucumbers, potatoes and Provencal sauce. Garnish with truffles.

In 5 years, the royal reign of Our Homeland will end with truffles. Mayakovsky’s propaganda declared hazel grouse to be bourgeois food, and those who survived the revolution, and then the Civil War, had no time for culinary delights. In the hungry year of 1921, the writer Arkady Averchenko recalled past feasts in his work “Fragments of the Broken into Pieces”: “A glass of lemon vodka cost fifty kopecks, but for the same fifty kopecks the friendly barmen practically forced an appetizer on you: the freshest caviar, jellied duck, Cumberland sauce, Olivier salad , game cheese . But the state kitchen at that time was in a trivial decline: rusty rationed herring, saccharin, combined fat. All that remains is to remember Olivier.

In the relatively well-fed thirties, the history of salad - together with the history of the country - took a new turn. The chef of the Moscow restaurant, Ivan Ivanov, who, according to legend, once worked in the wings of Lucien Olivier himself, invents his own remake on an already well-known theme - the Stolichny salad. For the first time, canned food is added to the already known recipe: green peas and crab meat. But “Stolichny” is not yet a candidate for the role of number one Russian salad. The NEP rehabilitates hazel grouse, sturgeon and crayfish necks: in the collections of recipes of that time one can find an abundance of subtly similar snacks under playful names like “Silva” or “Parisien”. In such an abundance, Olivier is not exactly losing ground, but it no longer claims to be the main ceremonial dish.

It is easy to see that by this time there was not much left of the French appetizer. Stalin's Olivier is a fantasy thing. In 1948, the Russian culinary bible, “The Book of Savory and Healthy Food,” recommended adding green lettuce, lemon juice, apples and even sweet powder to Olivier. In 1952, in a book that called for abundance and demonstrated the best standards of Russian food photography, boiled carrots and, unexpectedly, cauliflower appeared as ingredients for the first time. The dish is decorated—in the absence of fish—not with crayfish, but with a boiled egg; in the future, the decoration evenly slides inside the salad bowl and becomes an indispensable ingredient. Olivier is still considered a game salad, but around it on the pages of “Books about savory and healthy food” there are more options that are very similar in composition, including “Salad with sausage” (+ potatoes, celery, lettuce, gherkins, apple) and “Salad with meat" (+ potatoes and cucumbers).
