From Sveta with Love: Ukrainian Dishes to Try This Independence Day

August 15, 2024

August 24th is Ukrainian Independence Day, a time to honor the country’s 1991 Declaration of Independence. This year, we invite you to connect with your loved ones as you soak in the energy of the Ukrainian spirit. And how to do it? Over incredible food at Sveta, of course!

What Is the Ukrainian National Dish?

Borscht is Ukraine’s dish of honor, mixing vegetables like red beets, potatoes, and cabbage to create sweet-tangy flavors that have been around for centuries. Pair it with crusty bread, and you’ve got yourself a taste of history.

Drinks to pair it with: Beet Kyiv Mule or the Ukrainian “Obolon” Beer.

Other Traditional Ukrainian Food Favorites

Chicken Kyiv

A classic on the menu, Chicken Kyiv is another traditional dish you need to try. A juicy breaded chicken breast oozing with dill and butter, this meal is paired with creamy mashed potatoes. It’s a rich and comforting dish – the perfect way to enjoy Independence Day with a touch of classic flavor.

Drinks to pair it with: Dove of Ukraine or Sveta’s Pretty Woman cocktail.

Sweet or Savory Varenyky

Savory varenyky is the ultimate comfort food. These little pockets of joy are packed with a creamy blend of potatoes, cheese, and herbs. But don’t miss out on Sveta’s Cherry Varenyky– juicy cherries wrapped in dough that’ll make this holiday that much sweeter.

Drinks to pair it with: Ponga Sauvignon Blanc or Whispering Angel Rosé.
