Hasselback is a Swedish invention. The idea is to serve simple products like potatoes, celery or pumpkin so that they look as festive as possible. To do this, the tuber or any other vegetable of suitable density and size is effectively cut into an accordion shape and the filling is put into these cuts. The version of the filling from Mikhail Kurokhtin, the chef of the Midsummer restaurant, is beef bacon and smoked cheddar. But you can put, for example, slices of Tambov ham or smoked eel into the accordion potato, and if you want to get a purely vegetarian dish, then fried eggplant.

This pilaf is perfect for both exquisite dinners and cozy family meals, becoming a gem of gastronomic delight.
