Borscht with Pampushki
This ruby-red, traditional Russian beet soup is beloved throughout all of Eastern Europe. It has a deep, satisfying flavour unlike any other soup and is packed with loads of beets, carrots, onions, potatoes, celery, and cabbage. It’s topped with optional sour cream (available #vegan), a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and fresh dill. Chef Doris’ freshly baked pampushki (Russian garlic buns) are the perfect complement!
Beef or Mushroom Plov
Plov is the Russian version of a baked rice pilaf, available with the traditional seared beef or a vegan version with mushrooms with chickpeas. These are combined with delicate basmati rice, aromatic Russian spices, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and homemade veggie broth, then baked until light, fluffy and suffused with a heavenly aroma. Served with a Russian carrot salad, studded with apples, raisins & walnuts.
Apple Sharlotka
This moist, and fluffy Russian apple cake is most popular in the fall, a delicious celebration of the apple harvest. A nostalgic taste of Chef Doris’ fondest childhood memories, it’s the perfect end to a Russian family meal. (Available #vegan).
