More and more countries go back to their unique national identity and rediscover long-forgotten foods, customs, and forms of art that actually make them who they are. No wonder that the list of the immaterial cultural heritage of UNESCO is bursting at the seams and the waiting list of applicants looks even longer. It’s not a bad thing at all to remember who you are and what roots shaped your culture and your identity. Yet it is even better to discover the cultures of other countries and see how diverse – and similar – we all are at the same time.
Pathetic words aside, the truth remains the same: knowing others – people and countries – can help you live a happier and more fulfilling life. At least because world cuisines are a treasure-trove where you can borrow as much as you can carry away (or stuff into your belly), and it will only make them fuller. And there’s only a fraction of the joke in this claim.
The point of this brief but agitated speech? We’d like to introduce you to Ukrainian cuisine, namely, to its unique dish – Ukrainian borshch. If you know about it already, then you are lucky. If no, it’s high time you discover it – and cook at the first nearest opportunity.
Although the easiest way to describe borshch is to call it a soup, it’s not accurate. Soups are a separate category, and then there’s borshch. Like, there are rock’n’roll performers, and then there’s Elvis. That’s the closest comparison we can come up with. Yes, borshch is a first course that features broth and solid ingredients like vegetables and meat (or fish). But borshch has a few specific components and a particular taste balance that must be observed. Otherwise, you get a veggie soup at best.
Borshch must be sweet and sour at the same time, rich, nutritious, but not overloaded with fats. Some like it thinner, others cook it thick like a ragout. And at the same time, each family has its own recipe that is considered the only ‘real borshch.’
If you hear the word ‘soup’ and preconceptions rush to your mind, don’t hurry. Many ideas about soups that can turn you away from borshch simply do not apply. So read on to know how versatile and cool borshch is.
Good luck in your experiments and Bon appetit!
