sobka
Sobka is a traditional Russian dish, originating from the Ural region, particularly in the Perm Krai. It is a hearty stew made from a variety of ingredients, including meat (such as beef, pork, or mutton), potatoes, onions, carrots, and sometimes cabbage or other root vegetables. The dish is typically cooked in a large pot with plenty of water, allowing the ingredients to simmer together until tender. Sobka is often served with a side of bread or a simple salad, and is a popular comfort food in Russia. The name "sobka" comes from the Russian word "sobaka," which means "dog," reflecting the dish's hearty and nourishing qualities. The dish is often prepared during colder months and is a staple in Russian cuisine.
