  • Rinse the meat well, put it in a pot, cover with water, and set over the heat. Once it boils, cook the meat for 5 minutes, then drain off the water completely (the first broth isn't recommended for eating, and I stick to that rule). Rinse the pot, return the meat to it, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Don't forget to skim off the foam with a slotted spoon. Add salt and spices, cover, and cook until the meat is fully done, about an hour to an hour and a half. Take the cooked meat out and cut it into small pieces.
  • Peel and wash the potatoes and cut them into cubes, as usual. Add them to the boiling broth and wait for it to come back to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, put the millet in a bowl and rinse it. When the broth with the potatoes starts to boil, add the rinsed millet to the pot.
  • Peel the onion and dice it; peel the carrots and grate them coarsely. Heat a skillet, add the vegetable oil, and sauté the vegetables over medium heat until the onion turns translucent.
  • Rinse the cabbage under running water (I put it in a strainer to wash it thoroughly), stir in the tomato paste, and add it to the skillet with the onion and carrots. Mix, simmer for about five minutes, then add it to the broth.
  • Return the meat to the broth too, add the pepper, press in the garlic, taste for salt, and adjust if needed. Leave it on the heat briefly — about 5 minutes — then ladle into bowls and serve, sprinkled with chopped dill.
  • Enjoy in good health!
