Ingredients needed

- 3 tablespoons of oil
- 2 eggs
- 500 g sour cream

- 1 bunch of lovage

Step by step: Your culinary guide

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients

1. Cleaning the potatoes: If using new potatoes, you can easily clean them by scraping under running water. If they are old potatoes, peel them with a knife. Cut the potatoes into larger pieces (not too small) or leave them whole if they are small.

2. Carrots and bell pepper: Peel the carrots and chop them finely. Wash the bell pepper well and cut it into cubes.

3. Onion: Chop the onion finely; it will add a pleasant flavor to your feast.

4. Greens: Wash the lamb's quarters, lovage, parsley, and dill, then chop them finely. Fresh greens add not only color but also an unmistakable taste.

Step 2: Cooking the vegetables

1. In a 6-liter pot, add the oil and sauté the chopped onion along with the carrot for about 5-7 minutes until they become translucent and aromatic.

2. After the onion has softened, add the bell pepper and let it sauté for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Pour hot water into the pot to cover the vegetables by 3 fingers. If desired, you can also add 3 tablespoons of salted vegetable mix for extra flavor.

Step 3: Cooking the potatoes and noodles

1. In another pot, bring the sheep whey to a boil. The whey is the star ingredient of the recipe, bringing a pleasant acidity and unique flavor.

2. After the vegetables in the first pot have boiled for 15 minutes, add the potatoes and, if you want a thinner feast, you can add hot water according to your preferences.

3. When the potatoes are almost cooked, add the noodles (if you choose to use them) and let them boil for 8-10 minutes.

Step 4: Finishing the dish

1. When the noodles are cooked, pour the boiled sheep whey into the pot and add the finely chopped greens.

2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with sour cream and a little hot broth from the pot. Pour the mixture into the pot, stirring gently to avoid curdling the eggs. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

4. Finally, remove the pot from the heat and sprinkle a little finely chopped lovage on top.
