RED COSSACK



Red Cossack image

A wonderful Russian lemony-herby sauce served over hot boiled potatoes and served with grilled or sauteed smoked sausage. I got it from the woman in charge of the Piroshky "wagon" at the annual Seattle Folk Life Festival three years ago. Predominant flavors are lemon and dill. This is a work in progress and I welcome suggestions!
