Comments

I dare to recommend you to use non deodorated sunflower oil - it will give good flavor. If you are not fond of spicy food - do not add vinegar. Even you like the spice food do not add - pickled cucumbers and sauerkraut give enoough of sourness.

You can add canned green peas, too. And do not fear to add too much of beefroot - this dished is based on taste of it.

You can find these and much recipes an d you can learn more about national Russian and Ukrainian cooking traditions from the books which are listed on the "Books with Russian and Ukrainian cooking recipes" page. All these books can be bought from Amazon.com shop - fast and secure.
