This looks like a great
way to use up late harvest
garden vegetables.
Ingredients
2 lb. uncooked beetroot, peeled
2 carrots, peeled
2 celery sticks
3 tbsp. butter
2 onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 bay leaf
1 large parsley sprig
2 whole cloves
4 whole peppercorns
5 cups beef or chicken stock
2/3 cup beetroot kvas (the liquid form pickled beetroot)
(Cook’s Tip: Beetroot kvas, fermented beetroot juice, adds
an intense color and a slight tartness. If unavailable, peel
and grate 1 beetroot, add 2/3 cup stock and 2 tsp lemon
juice. Bring to the boil, cover and leave for 30 minutes.
Strain before using)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sour cream, garnished with snipped fresh chives or sprigs
of dill.
1.
Cut the beetroot, carrots and celery into fairly thick
strips. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and cook
the onions over a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the beetroot, carrots and celery and cook for a
further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the garlic and chopped tomatoes to the pan and
cook, stirring for 2 more minutes.
4. Place the bay leaf, parsley, cloves and peppercorns in a
piece of muslin and tie with string.
5. Add the muslin bag to the pan with the stock. Bring to
the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/4
hours, or until the vegetables are very tender.
Discard the bag. Stir in the beetroot kvas and season. Bring
to the boil. Ladle into bowls and serve with sour cream garnished with chives or dill.
