We investigate charge tunneling through the strongly correlated quantum dot placed between the metallic and superconducting leads. For small voltages |V| ≤q Δp/e applied across the junction the current is transmitted by the anomalous mechanism of the Andreev reflections. Such transport is sensitive to the strong Coulomb interactions which can be responsible for the charging effect and, at low temperatures, for appearance of the Kondo resonance. We analyze their signatures in the differential Andreev conductance.
