As long as we're talking beets.....
here is a recipe for a cold soup that we call "Holladneek", not really sure about the spelling , but thats the way its pronounced:
4 med. beets (2" dia.), use stems up to leaves also
1 large cucumber
1 bunch green onions, use stems also
1-1/2 gallons buttermilk
cook the beets,peel, then dice into 1/4" cubes
Dice the stems
dice the cucumber
dice the green onions
after the beets have cooled, mix all the vegatables into a large stainless steel bowl and add the 1-1/2 gallons of buttermilk, chill, then serve cold.
Salt liberally to taste, eat with a good slice of rye bread !!!
My kids and I love this on a hot summer day. We don't know if its a Polish or a Russian dish, because it came over with my dads parents form Poland !!!
The buttermilk WILL turn pink from the beets....my kids always said it was "done" then, LOL !!
Enjoy !!!
