Veselkas Famous Borscht Recipes

WINTER BORSCHT

Winter Borscht image

Vushka are plump mushroom-and onion-filled dumplings resembling tortellini. "Vushka" means little ears in Ukrainian, and with their curvy whorls, that's just what they look like, especially when they turn bright red in a bowl of this Christmas borscht served during Sviata Vecheria, the traditional 12-dish Ukrainian dinner that is meatless and dairy-free. The East Village restaurant Veselka serves the meal from Dec. 24 to Jan. 6.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 pounds beets, trimmed and scrubbed (do not peel)
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 small onion, diced
4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 bay leaves
5 whole allspice berries
1 tablespoon sugar, more to taste
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Salt
Mushroom and onion dumplings (vushka) (optional, see recipe)
Chopped dill, for garnish

Steps:

Coarsely chop beets, preferably in a food processor. In a medium pot, combine beets, 4 cups water and vinegar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until beets are soft, about 45 minutes. Strain and set juice aside. (Beets can be used for another purpose, like salad.)
Meanwhile, in a deep pot, combine carrot, celery, onion, stock, bay leaves and allspice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes. Strain and discard aromatics and vegetables.
Combine strained stock and beet juice and simmer 5 minutes. Add sugar, garlic and black pepper. Season to taste with sugar and salt. Serve with dumplings, if desired, and sprinkle with dill.
