Tsvikli (Beet-and-Horseradish Relish)

  • Ukrainian Cuisine

Ukrainians like beetroots in general and see them as the local superfood, hence the popularity of red borscht and beetroot salad as well as numerous modern beetroot smoothies and even beet desserts. 

Ukrainian tsvikli or buriachok (little beetroot) is a beet and horseradish relish that typically accompanies meat, fish dishes, and kholodets.

It is always in the Easter basket and on the Easter table, but it is likely you’ll get a chance to taste it every time there is a festive occasion. If you are a fan of wasabi, you just need to try tsvikli to see how it beats wasabi on every level.

The earthy taste of beetroot and the tangy touch of horseradish make a unique marriage that prickles your tongue and leaves a pleasant tickling sensation.
