Latvian Saltibarsciai

Ingredients:

38 g. pickled, coarsely diced beets

19 g. beet marinade (pickling juice)

6 g. chopped dill

25 g. chopped fresh cucumber

150 ml sour milk

18 g. sour cream

Pinch salt

3.5-4 g. sugar

3-4 hard-boiled egg slices

3 g. chopped green onion

Cooking Instructions:

In a bowl, add salt to sour milk, and mix well; also add beets, cucumber and dill. To the marinade beet, add the sugar and mix well until the sugar dissolves (the less sweet the marinade, the more sugar you will need; this will call for taste-testing). Add the sweetened marinade and sour cream to the sour milk mixture, mix, and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. When ready to serve, pour into a serving bowl, float egg slices on top and sprinkle with green onion. Serve with boiled potatoes on the side.
