  • 4 potatoes
  • Ground beef or chunks as available and preferred
  • 2 onions
  • 3 red beets
  • 2 carrots
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of parsley for garnish

  2. When the water boils, add the chopped potatoes and add the meat, then simmer the potatoes and meat over low heat until tender.
  3. Sauté two chopped onions in a little vegetable oil with the beetroots, grate the two carrots finely and fry them all together; after they soften, add them to the pot with the meat and onions...
