A garnish of fresh green beans adds freshness and lightness. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a cozy evening with friends. Inspired by European gastronomic traditions, it gains a unique character thanks to the Russian approach to home cooking. It is best served hot to reveal all the flavor nuances.
