Sochi’s Opening Ceremony is just minutes away from starting. I found a live feed to watch online, and the sounds of Russia are blaring from my computer.
If I had my ducks in a row, I would’ve made a huge Russian feast for this day, but my ducks are swimming all willy nilly, as it were, so for now I’ll give you a roundup of all the Russian/Eastern European recipes posted on the blog.
To start, a few infused vodkas and a cocktail:
Lemon Vodka, Pepper Vodka, The Slippery Russian
Some appetizers and snacks:
Badrijani nigvzit (Georgian Eggplant Rolls) and Baklazhanaya ikra (Eggplant Caviar)
Perepechi with Meat and Mushrooms and Perepechi with Cabbage (Udmurt Rye-Crust Savory Pastries)
Syrnyi Pashtet s Chesnokom i Morkovyu (Cheese Garlic Carrot Spread)
A few heartier dishes:
Skorospelye Gurievskie Blini (Quick Blini, Guriev-Style)
And for your tea, a few preserves:
Varenye iz Yablok (Russian Apple Preserves)
Apricot and Blueberry Preserves
Enjoy the games, everyone!
