| Notes: |
2024-03-25: Dice all veggies before cooking; omit cabbage
2024-01-21: We used canned beets and this got quite thick. Next time, we’ll use fresh beets.
2020-12-14: A good batch
2018-01-08: a good first effort. I couldn't get a brisket, so we used stew meat instead. Next time we'll use beef short ribs and, possibly, canned beets.
2018-01-08: Added to our cookbook.
