  • Here's a wonderful recipe for cold borscht. It's even better made with young beets, just as their greens are coming in — though if you don't have young beets, regular older ones work too. For our version, we'll use beets with their greens. This is a Russian cold borscht. So, cut the greens off the beets, wash the beets well, and boil them — it takes hardly any time, since young beets cook very quickly. Peel them, grate them on the large holes of a box grater (along with the carrot), add a little sugar and vinegar, cover with water, and set over the heat. Bring the beet mixture to a boil. Cut the greens into strips and drop them into the pot with the beets. Taste the soup, then salt and sweeten it; if it needs more vinegar, add some. Once it comes back to a boil with the greens, take it off the heat and let it cool. Into each bowl put a little chopped egg, diced cucumber, fresh herbs, and green onion. Ladle the cold borscht over the top and finish with a dollop of sour cream. Now making cold borscht is no mystery at all.
