  • Contains: beef, celery, dairy, pork

Ingredients

  • 60 g Beef chuck, raw
  • 25 g Kielbasa
  • 20 g Ham, cooked
  • 150 g Beef broth
  • 20 g Pickles, dill
  • 10 g Olives, black

  • 2 g Dill, fresh
  • 15 g Sour cream
  • 100 g Water

Method

  1. Simmer the beef in the broth for about 1 hour until tender, skimming any foam; lift out and dice it, then return it to the pot.
  2. Slice the kielbasa and dice the ham; add both to the pot and simmer for 10 minutes to let their flavour infuse the broth.
  3. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in the butter for 4-5 minutes until soft, then stir in the tomato paste and cook 1 minute more; add to the pot.
  4. Dice the pickles and add them along with the olives; simmer for 10 minutes so the sour, salty flavours meld.
  5. Ladle into bowls, top each with a slice of lemon and a spoon of sour cream, and scatter with the dill.
