Directions
Summer is time for borsch! Although, any time is borscht time:) I already have a few recipes on my site, but this dish is creative, and there are never too many variations. Today we are making borscht with beet greens. I have the freshest beets and leaves delivered from the farm, so this borscht is going to be delicious!
Actually, borsch is a unique invention of Ukrainian cuisine! So many different vegetables in one delicious bowl – it’s just a treasure! If you do not cook borsch, start it, and if you cook borsch, do it more often, especially in summer when you can put so many different vegetables!
So, let’s vitaminize ourselves with borscht!
Bon Appetit!
