The cold soups are very popular during summer season. Two most famous Ukrainian cold soups are okrosha and beetroot soup (commonly known as kholodnik or svekolnik). There are both lean and meat beetroot soups.
Roast is traditional Ukrainian meat dish that has no analogues in the world. Its main ingredients are meat and vegetables. Roast is regularly made from pork, because, contrary to other kinds of meat, it makes the broth rich enough.
Roast recipes are not many - basically it's cooked identically all over Ukraine, having variations only in serving. Roast's peculiarity is that it is cooked in earthen pots, which adds special taste to the dish.
In old times roast was cooked not in pots, but in bread. The duff was partially cut out and all ingredients were put in this newly created 'vessel'. Thanks to this, roast absorbed incredible aroma of wheat and meat. Today this cooking technique is hardly used. However, there is a trick that helps to render original taste of roast in bread: the earthen pot is tightly closed with dough (instead of lid) and put in oven. In this way cooking tradition and unforgettable taste are preserved.
Roast is usually served as second course for supper. It perfectly suits both, festive and everyday diet. It should be noted that being very nourishing, roast is easily digested at the same time.
Meat jelly is thick jelly-like dish from meat broth with garlic and spices. It is traditionally served in Ukraine at winter festivities and Easter.
You'll need water, meat (regularly pork), spices and some vegetables in order to make meat jelly. The latter ones are used only in boiling process, but are not added to the dish. Meat with bones containing gelatinous substance that lets it congeal is often used for cooking meat jelly. Sometimes it is made from fish, too.
Meat jelly may be served as main course or as cold snack.
The solozhenick is a traditional Ukrainian dessert made of eggs and cream. There are different variants of solozhenick with varied stuffing from jam to poppy-seed.
