  • This Lithuanian borscht will take a bit of effort, but it's well worth it — Old Lithuanian borscht comes out wonderfully tasty and makes a hearty first course for a holiday table. In a pot of water, cook the beef along with onion, carrot, and parsley. When the meat is fully done, take it out and cut the piece in two: one part becomes ground meat, the other is diced together with the ham (think of it like making okroshka). Boil the mushrooms separately, and bake the beets in their skins, leaving them slightly underdone. Then cut them into thin, even sticks along with the turnip, cabbage, and apples. Add everything to the broth, including the kohlrabi, and cook until tender. Stir the mushroom cooking liquid into the borscht and set the mushrooms aside for the filling. Bring it to a boil, pour in the kvass, and bring it back to a boil. Now drop the meat-filled koldūnai into the boiling soup, followed a little later by the fried ones. Let the borscht cook about 5 minutes, then add the sliced boiled meat, season with spices, and simmer over very low heat for three minutes. Serve with sour cream and dill. It's hearty, unusual, and a real hit with guests — tried and true! Koldūnai: knead a stiff unleavened dough, roll it into a sheet about 2 mm thick, and cut it into even 1½-inch (4 cm) squares. These are Lithuanian dumplings — koldūnai — with different fillings: some hold mushrooms, others hold meat fried in lard. Fry the mushroom koldūnai in oil, just lightly.
