  • Borscht is made differently not just across Russia and Ukraine, but from region to region within each. If you've never made Kyiv-style borscht, I really recommend it — the flavor is new and remarkably good. I caught this recipe on a TV cooking show; it struck me as so intriguing that I tried it on my family right away, and now I'm sharing it with you. Here's the first surprise: the beef is cooked in water mixed with beet kvass (you can make the kvass yourself — there's a simple recipe online, and it's quite tasty on its own). Use that broth: add the cabbage and potatoes and cook them nearly through. Stew the shredded beet in a skillet with pieces of lamb. Fry the rest separately — tomatoes, and onion with carrot and parsley root, plus the tart apples. Add each of these sautés to the broth in turn and let it simmer another fifteen minutes. Then add the pre-cooked beans, and a little later the finely minced salo mashed with garlic and parsley. Most important of all: by the end, the soup should taste pleasantly sour! If it isn't tangy enough, pour in a little more beet kvass.
