About Borshch
Ievgen Klopotenko’s Ukrainian borsch combines pork ribs with beetroot, cabbage and other vegetables. He presents this as one traditional version among many family recipes, with smoked dried pears as a distinctive addition.
Beetroot and tomato shape the vegetable broth, while pork, garlic and allspice add savoury depth. The pears contribute the smoky flavour the author highlights; sour cream brings a dairy finish.
The vegetables and ribs are cooked until tender, with cabbage added near the end. Sour cream and finely chopped dill complete the serving, keeping the red vegetable soup and its substantial ingredients in view.
