Borscht
If you’ve cooked ahead by roasting beets on Sunday, that’s great! If needed, cook them now.
Earthy, rich and colorful beets are the major feature in this famous root vegetable soup. This has been a staple food in Russian, Eastern Slavic and Jewish cultures for centuries. You’ll enhance the nourishment and interest with shredded carrots, red potatoes and cabbage.
Finish the meal with some cucumber salad and yummy artisan rye bread.
