Brown your pork well in the bottom of the stock pot you are using with your favourite cooking oil. Season it well with salt and pepper.
Add the beets and just enough water to cover them, simmer in medium heat until they soften somewhat.
Add the cabbage and just enough water to cover it. Let the cabbage soften a little so you have room for everything else.
Add the rest of the ingredients, saving the potatoes/turnip. Stir everything well, it should have just enough water to cover it all plus an inche or so to boil off. Bring to a gentle boil and leave on medium-low heat to simmer.
Add the potatoes in the last 30 mins of cooking. Its done when everything is soft and cooked through.
Serve hot with a generous dollop of sour cream on top and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill if you had any left.

If you plan to eat this chilled, trim as much of the fat from the meat as you can, other wise it will congeal and float about in an unappetizing way.  If you plan to eat this chilled, trim as much of the fat from the meat as you can, other wise it will congeal and float about in an unappetizing way.
You can switch out or use both potatoes and turnips depending on preference and storage after. I freeze it even with potatoes but most don’t like that.  You can switch out or use both potatoes and turnips depending on preference and storage after.

Leave out the pork if you prefer a tasty meat free version of this.  Leave out the pork if you prefer a tasty meat free version of this.
