Step 1: Prepare the Meat Broth
To create a flavorful base for your borscht, start with a hearty meat broth.
-
Gather the ingredients:
- 1.3 kg beef on the bone
- 4 liters of water
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 stalk of celery
- Dill and parsley
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper
-
Cook the broth:
- Place the beef in a large pot and cover it with water.
- Add the onion, carrot, celery, herbs, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 hours.
-
Skim off any foam that forms on the surface to keep the broth clear.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetable Mixture
Next, you’ll create the sautéed vegetable mixture, or "zharadka," which adds depth to the borscht.
-
Gather the ingredients:
- 500 grams of beets
- 400 grams of onion
- 300 grams of carrot
- 300 ml of tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- Sunflower oil for frying
-
Sauté the vegetables:
- In a pan, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat.
- Add chopped onions and carrots, sauté until soft.
- Grate the beets and add them to the pan.
- Stir in the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and cumin.
- Cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Add Vegetables to the Broth
Now it's time to combine the sautéed vegetables with the broth and other ingredients.
-
Prepare additional vegetables:
- 500 grams of cabbage, shredded
- 300-400 grams of potatoes, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 head of garlic, minced
-
Combine everything:
- Once the meat is tender, remove it from the broth and set it aside to cool.
- Strain the broth to remove any solids and return the liquid to the pot.
- Add the sautéed vegetable mixture, cabbage, potatoes, and bell pepper to the broth.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Final Touches and Serving
Finish up your borscht with seasoning and garnishing.
-
Shred the cooked beef and add it back to the pot.
-
Stir in minced garlic and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Let the borscht simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
-
Serve the borscht hot, garnished with:
