So, I found this Green Borshch recipe in my grandma's ancient cookbook. 
It's a twist on the classic red borshch, using tangy sorrel instead of beets. 
Apparently, it's a big deal in Ukraine and other PLC countries. 
Cozy family dinners + Ukrainian fare = good times! 
INGREDIENTS
β’ 500 grams Pork Ribs
β’ 500 grams Young Potatoes cubed
β’ 200 grams Sorrel fresh
β’ 1 Onion
β’ 1 Carrot
β’ 5 Eggs 4 hardboiled
β’ 1 tbsp Sour Cream or Smetana if you can find it

- In a pot add the pork ribs along with salt and pepper and the bay leaves. Add water up to 60% of the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cover with a lid for one hour. Add in the potatoes and bring back up to a boil. Let cook for 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, quickly fry some grated onion and carrot in a pan with a bit of oil. Add to the borshch and give everything a stir. Also chop up the hard boiled eggs and add that in.
- In a small bowl beat together an egg and the sour cream. Swirl the pot of boiling borshch and slowly pour in the egg mixture so it cooks immediately as it hits the soup.
- Turn off the heat and add in the chopped sorrel. Give everything a good stir and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust as needed.

Let me paint you a picture: Imagine a steaming bowl filled with a verdant broth, brimming with the freshness of herbs like dill and parsley. 
Into this fragrant base, add crisp, tender vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, and perhaps some green beans for that extra crunch. 
As you take a spoonful, your taste buds are greeted with a burst of tanginess from the addition of sour cream or vinegar, perfectly balanced by the earthiness of the vegetables. 
It's a bowl of comfort that nourishes both body and soul, leaving you feeling rejuvenated with every sip. 
So, if you're craving a taste of something both wholesome and invigorating, Green Borshch is the answer! 
I love the idea of using sorrel for a tangy twist on the classic red version ..Ukrainian comfort food for the win!
