Instructions
- Cool the finished beets under cold water and grate on a coarse grater. Separate the meat from the bones, remove the bone fragments and fat, and cut into small pieces. Strain the broth through a fine sieve and return to the bowl of the slow cooker. All that is left on the surface of the sieve is no longer needed.
- Now it's time for vegetables. Gradually add potatoes, sauerkraut, and after 10 minutes - fresh cabbage, celery, tomatoes and bell pepper. After another 10 minutes, add the bay leaf and allspice and, finally, the beetroot. Now we no longer close the lid, as soon as the borscht and beetroot boil, we taste it and, if desired, add lemon or fruit vinegar or even both/ it all depends on the sweetness of beets and tomatoes. Sometimes, instead of acid, we have to add 1/2 tsp of sugar. Advice for those who want to reduce the calorie content of the dish as much as possible. Broth or ready-made borscht should be cooled well, while droplets of frozen fat form on the surface, which is very easy to get rid of.
