In his beetroot soup, the chef of the Uhvat oven restaurant, Viktor Beley, first slowly bakes the beetroot in a cooling Russian oven until it turns caramel, and then sets off the beetroot sweetness with horseradish, mustard, and homemade smoked sour cream. It sounds too complicated, but in fact, you can smoke sour cream even in a city apartment, if you have a saucepan and two handfuls of sawdust for the barbecue. But the resulting soup will be completely special: the rich caramel beetroot soup itself also blossoms with delicious smoky notes.
