  • This unusual borscht gets a whole new flavor from the zucchini. You won't believe how much a single ingredient can transform the whole dish — most first-time tasters won't even guess there's zucchini in it. So try this recipe yourself; it's worth it just for the change of pace. The method is much like making traditional borscht: first boil the meat (whole, or cut into pieces if you're in a hurry). For a clear broth, strain it, then add the potatoes and cabbage to the boiling liquid. Sauté the shredded beet in butter, separately from the other vegetables. The carrot, onion, and parsley root can be fried in butter along with the apples, which are best grated on the coarse side of a box grater (I peel them first). The tomatoes can either be boiled and pushed through a sieve, or simply cut into wedges and dropped into the boiling broth (peel them if you like). The order in which you add the vegetables doesn't really matter — just be sure the zucchini (diced), tomatoes, and apples go in last. Season the nearly finished soup with the spices, and add the fresh herbs straight to each bowl. The whole thing takes a little under an hour.
