Shukhy

Shukhy is a traditional Christmas dish originating from western Ukraine, where it's often cooked by Hutsul highlanders. The dish is usually made with a combination of wild mushrooms, beetroot, rapeseed oil, shallots, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

The beetroot is boiled until tender, drained, cooled, cut into slices, and then into strips. The shallots are sautéed in oil over low heat and then mixed with the soaked mushrooms, vinegar, and garlic. The mixture is taken off the heat and seasoned with salt and pepper.

The onions and mushrooms are mixed with the beets, cooled, and garnished with oregano before serving. Shukhy is typically served cold as part of a Christmas feast.
