UKRAINIAN BORSCHT
As I write this note, my wife and I are in Kazakhstan, adopting our second child. We have fallen in love with borscht over here - so delicious in this sub-zero weather. This recipe from the Ukraine travel advisor website will allow you to enjoy your own version of this classic Eastern European dish.

Steps:
- 1. You will need a 5-6 quart cooking pot.
- 2. Cut the meat in pieces, place them in a pot filled with the cold water. Bring to a boil, skim off any fat on the surface. Cover and cook for about 1 hour.
- 3. While meat is cooking, chop the beet as thin as you can, put it in a frying pan, add sunflower or vegetable oil, and fry until soft (don't make it too soft!). You can add 1 tea spoon of vinegar to save beet color.
- 4. Chop cabbage (try to make the slices thin), peel and chop potatoes.
- 5. Chop 3 carrots, 2 onions, 2 parsley roots, fry them until the onion starts to turn golden.
- 6. When the meat is ready, add some salt, 2-3 bay leaves, peppercorns, potatoes.
- 7. In 5-10 minutes add fried carrots, onions, parsley roots, and beets. Add chopped cabbage. Slow cook about 10 minutes.
- 8. Add 2-3 table spoons of tomato paste, wait until it boils. Add a little bit sugar if it is too sour for you. Turn off the stove.
- 9. Cut salted salo into the tiny cubes. Chop 0.5 head of garlic and the dill. Grind them together in a deep bowl with a wooden spoon. Stir into cooked borscht. Enjoy!
