Traditional dish from the Ukraine: Borscht with garlic fritters

Traditionally, every Ukrainian girl learns how to cook borscht before getting married. Ukrainian dishes often use a number of ingredients. Borscht is a direct proof of this. Over time that number has decreased. However, the technique remains unchanged. Beef is placed in cold water to make a meat broth. Then the meat is taken out and other ingredients are added and cooked in a closed saucepan. Garlic fritters are given instead of bread and are called pampushki by locals.
