Natalie Wood's Beef Borsch

[nataliewood]

This is the recipe I took down when she was on TV back in the '70s so some of the quantities are missing. Just adjust to your taste.

2 QT water
1 lb Beef Short Ribs
1 whole onion
2 bay leaves
1 parsnip, parsley to taste
4 stalks celery
Cook all this (without chopping the veggies) for 1 hour.
Remove all except the broth and meat.

Add 1 head shredded cabbage, diced carrots, diced potatoes, diced beets .
Add 8 oz. tomatoe sauce, one lemon (Coosa, please add just the lemon juice ) pinch of brown sugar, pinch ginger & pinch orange peel.

Cook this for an additional 1 hour or until your veg. are to your liking. Then top with sour cream.

This was her Russian families recipe. Hope you enjoy.

Coosa, in this case it is only flavoring, but yes it is a fruit and some of the other stuff are vegetables, lol!
