Braised meat with potatoes — a taste of Ukraine's regional cuisine

A ceramic bowl holds a hearty goulash: large chunks of braised beef and potatoes in a thick, aromatic sauce, sprinkled with fresh parsley. Slices of crusty bread sit beside it, with a bowl of mashed potatoes and greens in the background. This filling dish illustrates the richness of Ukraine's regional cuisine, worth planning a gastronomic route across the country for.
