STARTER:    Skillet Fish Pie

This pie is one of those rare recipes that tastes like it came from the oven while being cooked entirely on the stovetop. It is an excellent choice for hot summer days, camping with a gas burner, vacation rentals, or any time you want a homemade meal without heating the entire kitchen. I also like that the batter is neutral enough to work with almost any savory filling, making it a recipe you'll come back to again and again.

SOUP:    Kharcho (Georgian Beef & Rice Soup)

Kharcho is one of the most famous Georgian soups, known for its rich beef broth, warming spices, herbs, garlic, and balanced heat. Traditional kharcho is deeply aromatic and hearty, with slow-cooked broth forming the foundation of the dish. The combination of tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, and khmeli suneli creates its unmistakable flavor.

MAIN COURSE:    Potato Pancakes with Ground Meat (Draniki with Ground Meat)

Draniki with meat — those golden, crispy potato pancakes with a savory twist! This dish is a staple in Belarusian cuisine. Typically made from grated potatoes, onions, and eggs, draniki becomes even more delicious when filled with ground meat. The meat mixture often includes pork or beef, seasoned with salt, and pepper, creating a delightful blend of flavors and textures.The greens in the minced meat are optional. You can add any other greens you like or not add them at all.

NEW RECIPE

   Smoked BBQ Shrimp

These smoked shrimp are incredibly juicy, lightly smoky, and coated in a tangy barbecue glaze with horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice. They cook quickly over gentle indirect heat, making them an excellent appetizer or main course for backyard cookouts. Apple or alder wood adds a mild, sweet smoke that complements the delicate flavor of the shrimp without overpowering them.
