Does this sound about right?

  • 30g of butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 large potato, diced
  • 700ml of chicken stock
  • 50g of spinach, roughly chopped
  • 50g of sorrel, roughly chopped
  • 1 handful of parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 handful of dill, chopped

“Summer” ha ha ha. Yesterday here it was high of 65 with winds up to 15 mph.

What is shav? Or are you referring to our word ‘shavel’ which is just russian for sorrel?

this armenian says leg of lamb

yes that sounds very right! but i’d load up as much sorrel+spinach as you can fit. it wilts down like crazy… do need both or it’s too sour. need hard boiled egg in the plate imo… it’s essential texture difference. …

i need to find other application for sorrel… going to try to saute… maybe bake a pie?

aah… sounds same… i’ve only heard it called green borsch

In my family, borscht is always cold beet soup, and schav is always cold sorrel soup. I was an adult before I learned that borscht could also be hot, didn’t necessarily contain beets, and could involve meat.

@robert about Lobi or as Georgians call it, lobio, actually not sure how Georgians make it, I haven’t had the pleasure…

I actually don’t know an exact recipe but I’ve been approximating it and optimizing to my liking. My family and relatives use large red beans and cook it down with onion and garlic then add walnuts and herbs…

I use smaller Salvadoran beans…can’t even figure out why I like them… I do extra onion and garlic and a red onion… I toast my walnuts and also grind fenugreek into the mix… come out great and of course I add chicken stock :). No herb for me, I’m going for super nutty fried oniony thing

They and me like them partially broken/smashed

That’s pretty much the same as Georgian lobio. Of course they probably add some blue fenugreek (unrelated to regular fenugreek) and dried marigold petals (sometimes labeled “saffron” in English).

Made Greek-like chicken again.

I made more than usual so I had to use a sheet pan rather than my giant oven safe skillet.

Stuffed wtih pesto and parm. A little uneven on the rolling bit but it sure tasted good.
