When the red borsch meets the green borsch they become this one. Sour from sorrel and sweet from beets. Very light soup. Add hard boiled egg and sour cream in it for balance.

I never tried Rice-A-Roni from the box, but I was curios to try this combination – pasta and rice. And I did it by using egg vermicelli and Jasmati rice. It’s simple, fast and tasty. A little roasting gives a rich flavor and color.

Pelmeni, now, is a traditional Russian (fast) food. They are very well kept frozen and can be purchased at any Russian store, but, of course, the home version is always better. I made my pelmeni with salmon filling, but, traditionally it’s meat.

This sandwich is a great combination of pure ingredients – rye bread, mustard, sauerkraut and smoked turkey meat. Something from winter menu. I made it with Russian-style sauerkraut, it’s not so sour, crisp well and made with carrot. Recipe adapted from Yum Sugar blog.
