If you want some pointers as to where to start, check out the list below. These dishes are a great starting point when you’re looking to spoil your Ukrainian single.
Borscht
If there is one place to start for a romantic, Ukrainian-inspired meal, then it’s with the national dish of Ukraine. Borscht is a sour soup which is common in Ukraine as well as in parts of Russia. The key ingredient is beetroot which gives the soup its distinctive deep purple color. It could make a great starter for a meal consisting of several courses. Your Ukrainian single will love it.
Chicken Kiev
Okay, so this dish is a little more westernized, but it originated in Ukraine and remains a favorite in many areas of the country still, notably with tourists visiting the major cities. The dish consists of a price of chicken, usually breast, filled with garlic butter and coated in breadcrumbs. It’s then fried. If you’re making this from scratch, it’s pretty impressive, but you will need some patience and practice to ensure the garlic mixture doesn’t run during cooking!
Deruny
This is a popular Ukrainian dish that can be served for breakfast or as part of a larger meal. It’s a bit of a treat too or can be, so make sure you do your homework and ask what flavors your Ukrainian single likes. A Deruny is essentially a potato pancake which is fried. It’s made from freshly grated potato and can have different meat or vegetables added to the mix.
Vareniki
Your Ukrainian single is going to love it if you serve Vareniki as part of your meal. It’s a very traditional dish but also hugely versatile. A sort of dumpling, they give cooks a genuine opportunity for some creativity. They can be made sweet or savoury, lending itself to being an entr?e or a dessert. Try them with cherries and currants for a sweet treat!
