PAPA ZA’S KITCHEN
A comforting and healthy way to warm up your day, this borscht is here for you. Beets, potatoes, onions, celery, garlic and carrots. Something magical happens when all these root vegetables get together and how easy it is in an Instapot (but don’t worry a good ol’ fashioned pot works great too!)
But we all know borschts secret weapon. Well actually it’s not even a secret now, it’s a necessity. And that my friends is the creamy and tangy addition of sour cream, and don’t forget the beautiful pickle flavor booming from the fresh dill.
