Borsch

Does it taste pretty good? Sounds alright!

Yum. I’ve always wanted to try it. I’ve got a good authentic beef stroganoff recipe served with chips not rice! Bit unhealthy though with lots of sour cream

Thanks Tim - that's an unusual recipe, might try it though.

I found my favourite Borscht recipe - here it is -

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic-peeled and chopped
500g lamb, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces ( I use lamb shoulder and add bones to the soup for more flavour, or use some lamb bones).
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
600g (3/4) green cabbage-chopped and cored
650g ripe tomatoes-diced
1 kg beetroot - peeled and diced
13 teaspoons beef stock dissolved in 3.3 litres water.
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 bay leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 potatoes - diced
1 turnip - diced
1 swede - diced
1 parsnip - diced

In a heavy stockpot heat and add oil, garlic and lamb. Brown the lamb and add onion. Saute until onion is tender.
Add cabbage, tomato, beets, potatoes, turnip, swede, parsnip, beef stock, vinegar, bay leaves, lemon juice, salt & pepper.
Bring to boil, then turn down to simmer for 2 hours 15 minutes.
Remove lamb bones.

Garnish soup with sour cream and fresh dill.

(I prefer to eat the soup the next day as it tastes much better.
Plus the soup freezes really well for months).
