  • Sauerkraut gives this first course (sauerkraut shchi or borscht with sauerkraut) its one-of-a-kind character — traditional Russian cooking wouldn't exist without it, and shchi made from it is a cornerstone of that cuisine, so every cook worth their salt should know how to make it. Try this soup once and you'll want it again and again. Here's the order: As always, start by washing the meat well. Cut a whole piece of raw pork into small pieces, put it in a pot of water, and cook until half done. Add the well-squeezed sauerkraut to the meat and keep cooking over low heat for about an hour. Twenty minutes before the end, add peeled and diced potatoes to the pot. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and finely chop the onion. Sauté the onion and carrots in vegetable oil, stir in the tomato paste, and let it cook for about five minutes. Add this fragrant hot mixture to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and add a bay leaf. Let the shchi simmer for about five or six minutes. Stir chopped fresh herbs into each bowl for freshness and a vitamin boost. The sauerkraut shchi is ready.
