30 minutes
Ukrainian borscht with pork ribs is a true embodiment of warmth and national traditions. Thick, aromatic, rich in flavors of fresh vegetables and tender meat, it is not just a dish but part of Ukraine's cultural heritage. Borscht has an ancient history and is considered one of the symbols of Ukrainian cuisine. The secret to its special taste lies in the long simmering of the ribs combined with sautéed vegetables, a rich tomato base, and a garlic accent. The result is a rich, slightly sweet yet savory soup best served with a dollop of sour cream and a slice of rye bread. This dish warms the soul, nourishes the body, and brings families together at the table while remaining an unchanged favorite for centuries.
