Remember the lilt of pigs cartoon "The Cat's House"? Since my childhood I remember, though I had no idea what this botvinya. It turns out botvinya - one of the beet soup, and cooked him not only our grandmothers to our grandfather, but, perhaps, their great-grandmother to their families. Recipe from an old cookbook offers the following.
Fresh beet leaves soften, overcome, finely chopped and diluted kvas. There also crumble onions, fresh or pickled cucumbers, if desired - chopped beets. All summer green soup is ready. (Or, rather, red?) Food & Drinks Serve chilled.
In Belarusian cuisine there are many recipes friedge, also varieties of summer beet soup. If the old botvinya needed a brew that used to friedge beet broth, slightly acidified with citric acid or vinegar. In fact beets, blanched in broth shred leaves or young tops Mangold beet, onions, cucumbers, dill and parsley - but in general, any greens, that is at hand. In addition to vegetables in bowl throwing half a hardboiled egg and a spoonful of sour cream.
In contrast to the borscht, vegetable dish borschok of food prepared on mushroom (preferably from the dried mushroom) broth. Cook borschok, as well as borscht. Mandatory ingredient - beet tops. In addition to her - different vegetables: cabbage, turnips, onions, zucchini, leeks, celery. And parsley, dill, garlic and pepper.
At the end of cooking can be acidified kvas or lemon. And that was like a real soup - before submitting whiten yogurt from skimmed milk, by today's standards - nonfat yogurt.
Another vegetable dish - beets in monastery. Boiled beets, cleaned and cut the slices. Prunes also boiled and cut into small pieces. Vegetable oil Pusser finely chopped onion. All the ingredients are mixed with crushed walnuts and honey. To add scent, ground coriander.
Favorite many stuffed quite possible to cook without the cabbage leaves, replacing them with leaves Mangold. The washed leaves are free from stalks and brewed with boiling water. Petioles do not waste a valuable product! They crush and Passer together with carrots in vegetable oil and then mixed with raw meat stuffing.
The filling is placed on scalded leaves Mangold cm layer and folded leaves in a tube. With water (smaller) and sour (higher), salt and spices stewed in a pot under the lid.
Well, so recipes salad with beets, any hostess would a huge number. Surely remember and herring under a fur coat, and beets with cheese, mayonnaise, apples - but never know with what else ...
Finally some advice. For the beet salad is better not to cook, and bake in foil. I finished root peel frowns and easily removed. If you do decide to cook - do not salt until the beets are cooking. She does not love it, loses flavor and nutritional properties. In order to expedite the cooking, try to pull out after an hour of boiling roots of boiling water and cool under running tap water. For large specimens, repeat the procedure twice, at intervals of 15-20 minutes.
