We tweaked this Old World sweet-and-sour dish with confit duck, and the amazing result knocked us out.
- 1 (33-oz) jar borscht with shredded beets
- 1 (14 1/2-oz) can reduced-sodium beef broth (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 1 (8-oz) can tomato sauce
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 confit duck legs at room temperature
- 1 (10-oz) bag coleslaw salad mix
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 (16-oz) jar sliced pickled beets, liquid reserved and, if desired, beets coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
-
Accompaniment:
sour cream
-
Bring borscht, broth, tomato sauce, and onion to a boil over high heat in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot.
-
Meanwhile, coarsely shred duck meat, discarding skin and bones.
-
Stir coleslaw, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, cloves, duck meat, reserved liquid from pickled beets, and half of dill into borscht mixture. Return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until onion is tender, about 15 minutes.
-
Stir in pickled beets and simmer until heated through. Discard cloves if desired, then serve soup with sour cream and remaining dill.
