Best Ice Cold Schav Recipes

SCHAV BORSCHT - SORREL SOUP

Steps:

• Wash the sorrel thoroughly in several changes of cold water. Remove and discard the stems. Chop the leaves into thin ribbons. You can make this with spinach but the taste will be different. Sorrel has a sour/bitter flavor.
• Heat the butter or oil in a 3 quart saucepan and saute, the sorrel and onions.
• Cook stirring, for 10 minutes until the sorrel is wilted and the onion translucent. Add water and salt.
• Let the soup simmer for 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Add the lemon juice a little at a time, tasting constantly to achieve the degree of tartness that pleases you.
• Beat a tablespoon or two of the soup into the egg yolks, then stir egg yolks into the soup. Reheat the soup but do not let it boil after adding the egg yolks.
• Serve hot or cold, accompanied by sour cream.

SCHAV

Steps:

• Stem and wash the sorrel, and cut the leaves into ribbons. Peel the potatoes and cut them into half-inch dice. Cut the leek in half, chop it and wash it thoroughly.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan, and cook the leek for two minutes over medium heat. Add the sorrel and potatoes and cook for five minutes. Add the stock, two cups water, salt and pepper to taste, and the sugar, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.
• Puree the soup in a blender or food processor. (A blender works better than a food processor; if you use the processor, puree the solids first and gradually add the liquids). Stir in the cream and chill the soup for at least an hour. Just before serving, add the lemon juice and additional sugar and salt, if necessary - the soup should be refreshingly tart but a little sweet. Serve schav in bowls with dollops of sour cream. Garnish each bowl with chopped scallions.
