A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
This borscht brings together beef, smoked lamb tail fat, baursaki and sour cream. The baursaki provide a separate bread accompaniment to the soup. Add sour cream gradually to find the balance you enjoy with the broth and meat.
Flavour and serving
Smoked lamb tail fat distinguishes this serving from many familiar versions of borscht. Taste the broth as served first, then add sour cream to taste.
Borscht differs from the other soups in its accompaniments. Homemade noodles focus on chicken broth and noodles, while this dish adds smoked lamb tail fat, sour cream and baursaki to beef. Choose according to how substantial you want the meal to be. If the soup is your lunch's centrepiece, try its bread accompaniment before ordering another substantial dish.
What to try alongside
Baursaki are already listed as part of the serving. When ordering soup and separate bread for the table, take that accompaniment into account.
