Recipe for Zurek
The base for zurek ("zakwas"):
3 cups of rye flour,
small piece of crust from rye bread,
2 minced cloves of garlic,
2 cups of warm water.
Place ingredients in a jar, mix them well, cover the jar with a piece of clean cloth, let the jar stay in a warm place for 4-5 days. If mold forms on top, remove it before using the zakwas. Discard the bread crust and garlic before using.
Zurek
2 cups of zakwas
3/4 lb of white sausage - chopped (or just use polska kielbasa)
1/2 lb of bacon,
1 onion - minced
2 cloves of garlic - minced
1/2 cup of sour cream
1Tbsp of flour
1 bay leaf, 2 corns of allspiece, 5 black peppercorns,
1 Tbsp of marjoram
Fry bacon (chopped), add onion, add garlic and sausage. Fry a little more. Add 3 cups of boiling water, add bay leaf, black pepper, allspiece. Cook for 20 minutes. Add zakwas. Mix sour cream with flour, add to soup, add marjoram, mix the soup well. Bring to a boil (although I think you should heat until almost boiling... boiling soup is never a good idea). You can also add chopped, cooked potatoes and chopped hard boiled egg.
