Beef Borscht with Greens

5 servings

60 minutes

A recipe from the Berloga restaurant in the village of Skripovo in the Zaoksky District. The borscht is recognizable, without any gastronomic tricks, but pay attention to one nuance: it is recommended to fry the vegetables in butter. Nika Ganich, author of the book "Geography to Taste with Nika Ganich. Tula", shared the recipe with us.
