Low carbohydrate

In Eastern Europe and Russia, beetroot was used as a blood builder, to increase resistance and strengthen convalescents, and if any of you have experienced a Russian winter with temperatures dropping down to - 25C, there would undoubtedly be many people convalescing. The secret to a good Russian Borsch is using lots of dill, garlic and an excellent quality beef stock.

Ingredients
2 medium beetroots, peeled and grated
2½ cups cabbage, finely shredded
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1½ litres beef stock
1 onion finely chopped
3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Method

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion, garlic, and beetroot. Reduce to a medium heat and partially cover the pan to let the onion and beetroot sweat until very soft ( 3- 4 minutes ).
Add the beef stock, cabbage and bring to the boil.
Reduce to simmer, add the dill and cook for a further 30 minutes. Season and serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a pinch of fresh dill leaves.

Tip: To keep herbs fresh longer, wrap bunches in damp kitchen paper before storing in the fridge. Refresh the paper regularly.
