Green Borscht

Green borscht is a much less well known part of the borscht family, one I've long wanted to give a try! I wasn't able to source all the authentic ingredients where I live, so I've written my recipe with the necessary substitutes. If you want to check out original recipes from actual Ukrainian cooks (Ukraine is the home of borscht after all!), then check out Nataliia or Iryna's great recipes!

Basic Borscht

Borscht is a nostalgic dish for me, something that always brings back memories of days spent at my godmother's house, where there would often be a giant pot of borscht bubbling away on the stove. She was from an area in southern Russia very close to what today is southeastern Ukraine, so her borscht was a bit different from what's more often considered standard by Russians and Westerners alike.
