SOUP:    Schi (Cabbage Soup)

Schi is a centuries-old Russian soup, beloved for its simple ingredients and flavor that deepens over time. Traditionally enjoyed over several days, it gets tastier as the flavors meld. With Hungarian paprika, this version adds a modern twist to a classic comfort food.

MAIN COURSE:    Meat Patties

You can use any meat for these patties. I prefer a mixture of beef, pork and veal in a 1:1:1 ratio.
