Spicy 3 Peppers Borscht • Serves 6

Description

This is a classic red borscht with a twist. We developed this recipe for those who like good hearty borscht and don’t mind a little heat. Ancho chilis, chipotle and pequin peppers add so much smokey flavor and a great kick to this dish. This borscht is the ultimate flavor experience.

The kit is packaged into a beautiful collectible tin with traditional Ukrainian floral design on the lid.
