the dinosaur in the borscht


we call it dinosaur kale... so of course we had dinosaur for dinner!
a recipe from that very cool cook book i can't get enough off...
in the book, it's not the dinosaur kale they use, but savoy cabbage. there was non of that in my fridge, so i used substituted it with the dark green leafs i had. it turned out wonderful. the beets are often not a favorite with the kids, though cooked into borscht they like it too. instead of duck i used a simple chicken, some good herbs as well as onion and garlic did the trick. topping it with sour creme, that was a must for our youngest. if there is sauce or creme on her plate, she will be eating each and every bite of it!

and what lovely colour combination, just a joy, not only to eat, but to look at too!
