Explore Ukrainian cuisine — borscht, chicken Kyiv, varenyky, salo, holubtsi cabbage rolls, and rich black-earth farm cooking.
3 recipes
Ukrainian cuisine draws on the fertile black-earth (chornozem) farmland: beet-rich borscht (claimed as a national dish and UNESCO-recognized), varenyky (stuffed dumplings), holubtsi (cabbage rolls), salo (cured pork fat), and pampushky (garlic rolls). Chicken Kyiv (kotleta po-kyivsky) — butter-filled breaded chicken — is the iconic restaurant dish. Sunflower oil, dill, and garlic define the flavor base.
