Russian Cottage Cheese Blini

Thin Russian crepes with a sweet cottage cheese filling — blended smooth so it stays creamy instead of grainy, bound with one egg so it holds its shape, then fried in butter until the outside is golden and slightly crisp. The kind of breakfast people ask for by name. Serve with sour cream or jam, and do not skip the second fry.

Spinach and Artichoke Dip with cream cheese, sour cream and spinach — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAMedium

Sauces and Dips

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Hot, cheesy, and straightforward — this is the version that disappears first at any party. Cream cheese is the base, mozzarella provides the gooeyness, parmesan does the seasoning work, and sour cream keeps the whole thing from being too dense. The two non-negotiables: squeeze the frozen spinach until your hands ache, and let the cream cheese reach room temperature before you try to mix anything. Watery spinach ruins the texture. Cold cream cheese makes a lumpy mess. Everything else is flexible.

Green Borscht with sorrel, potatoes and hard boiled eggs — Ukraine recipe

Soups

Green Borscht

Green borscht (zelenyi borshch, also called sorrel borscht or sorrel soup) is a Ukrainian spring soup of potatoes and shredded chicken in a light chicken broth, soured not by beets but by fresh sorrel. The sorrel goes in at the very end for only a few minutes, so the soup stays bright and lemony; each bowl gets chopped hard-boiled egg, dill and a spoonful of sour cream.
