4th Dish Zharkoye from Russia

This may not look too appetising, but trust me it tastes a lot better than it looks. 

Ingredients:
1/2 lb beef
5 ea potatoes
1 ea onion
2 tbsp butter
1 ea carrot
1 ea parsley root
1 ea celery root
2 ea garlic cloves
1 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp chopped green dill and parsley

1 can beef broth
salt
ground
pepper

Method:
Peel potatoes, wash, cut into cubes and fry in butter until light golden. Slice onion and fry in butter until golden. Cut carrot into small cubes and fry in butter. Cube beef and fry in butter until light brown. In a ceramic pot, put beef, potatoes, onion, carrot, roots, garlic, season with salt and pepper and pour over a little broth. Stew in the oven on average heat for 30 minutes. 10 minutes before, add sour cream and sprinkle with green.

I had no idea what a Parsley root or Celery root looked like, let alone what it tasted like. And I wasn’t able to find either, so I used a Celeriac instead. This was only after doing a bit of research online to see what the two roots looked like, and it’s the closes match I could get. 

Again the flavours weren’t familiar to me, and I would have preferred more stock but overall I’d give it a good 8 out of 10.
