Text

 

Deruny is a traditional Ukrainian dish made of potatoes. Deruny are small po­tato

pancakes fried in oil. We eat deruny with sour-cream. Ukrainians prepare deruny

filled with meat or cottage¹ cheese, fried mushrooms. They are very tasty!

You prepare deruny in this way: First you grate the potato, then you may add eggs,

flour, then fry the mixture in the pan. They are very tasty with butter, sour cream and

when they are hot.

Another favourite Ukrainian dish is borsch. It is made of potatoes, beets, cabbage,

meat and tomato source.

Ukrainians like varenyky very much. Varenyky can be filled with cheese, po­tatoes,

cabbage, meat. So, Ukrainian cuisine is rich and tasty!
