Holubtsi

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Holubtsi correctly. The instructor explained why dill is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The earthy and hearty result when you make it yourself is different. many dishes are tied to Orthodox religious …

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Holubtsi made with real commitment to dill and technique. The deeply comforting result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. many dishes are tied to Orthodox religious calendar. The a tradit…

I had never tried Holubtsi before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The rich and warming taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. dill is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.
