SOUP:    Minestrone Soup

Minestrone is a classic Italian vegetable soup that changes with the seasons—there’s no single “correct” version. Made with simple vegetables, beans, and pasta, it’s a comforting, nourishing dish that has been cooked in Italian homes for centuries using whatever was on hand.

SALAD:    Layered salad with fried mushrooms

In Belarus, layered salads with mushrooms are often called “пуховые салаты” — “fluffy salads” — because each layer is gently pressed to stay airy, not dense, giving the dish its signature soft, cloud‑like texture.

MAIN COURSE:    Beef Goulash

This Beef Goulash stands out by using dark beer for a rich, malty depth, giving the dish a unique flavor twist, especially when paired with potatoes, pasta, or bread to soak up the savory sauce.
