Borscht – Winter Stew

March 20, 2012 - Written by Diana

Borscht, a winter stew, has a long tradition in Russia and Ukraine. This recipe is from Cook Wild: Year-Round Cooking on an Open Fire by Susanne Fischer-Rizzi.  I made this dish for dinner, and it was very delicious. It is vegetable dense, with lots of red beets turning everything a bright red, and very pretty. This stew has a lot of steps to it, so you will be close to the fire cooking for a good amount of time to prepare, but it’s worth the time you put into it. Though it serves 6 – 8, there are only 3 of us, so we had it for two meals, Yay for leftovers!

Italian Sausage, Tomato & Cabbage Stew(p)

September 24, 2009 - Written by Diana

This stew is one of the best combinations for using up the veggies in your garden.  The cabbage, potatoes and tomatoes all came from the vegetable garden.  I would have had onions too, if my daughter hadn’t pulled them and thrown them into the composter with the weeds.  The garlic, onions and sweet italian sausage (bison) all came from the farm market.  The rest I had in the cabinet.  It didn’t take long to prepare and was ready as soon as the cabbage was wilted enough.  Lots of great flavor in this meal, you’ll love it.
