PREŽGANA JUHA

Za 4 tanjura:

ulje (oko ½ dl)
brašno (oko ½ šalice)
1 žličica slatke crvene paprike
1 žlica sjeckanog kopra
¼ šalice vrhnja za kuhanje
sol, papar i začini po želji
1 – 2 žličice octa

Priprema:

Zagrijte ulje u loncu pa na njemu prepržite brašno (da postane nježno tamnije). Miješajte da ne zagori.
Tako preprženom brašnu dodajte mljevenu papriku i kopar, pa zalijte s 1 l tople vode. Miješajte, jer će se juha polako gustiti.
Posolite, popaprite i začinite po želji. Dodajte i ocat. Nek kuha još 1 minutu, a zatim umiješajte vrhnje.
Poslužite s krutonima od jučerašnjeg kruha.

NAPOMENA: Pred kraj, u juhu možete ukuhati umućeno jaje.
