Borș de miel

Borș de miel is a traditional sour lamb soup. It consists of lamb meat or offal cooked with rice and chopped vegetables, usually carrots, onions, celery roots, parsnips, celeriac, and spring garlic. A typical spring dish, the soup is also enriched with a mixture of eggs and sour cream. It is usually seasoned with borș, but lemon juice or vinegar can be used as replacements. Traditionally prepared for Easter, the soup is usually topped with a handful of freshly chopped lovage and parsley, or tarragon in some regions. It is served hot with sour cream and hot peppers on the side.
