Instructions
- Many people cook borscht without potatoes, for me it is tasteless. Since the potatoes become quite tough from the acidic environment, I suggest grating them and stewing with vegetables. Grated potatoes in borscht in this form does not get stale and at the same time gives richness, improves the consistency of borscht. So, we send the potatoes grated on a coarse grater to the vegetables, pour in a little broth and simmer a little.
- Remove the meat from the broth, cut it and return it to the pan. Sprinkle the broth with salt. Thinly slice the cabbage and put it in the broth. Add tomato paste to stewed vegetables. Ideally, of course, it is better to add tomatoes, but if they are good and fleshy, they are real. I think tomatoes give borscht color, not vinegar. Be sure to add a sugar-sweet note to the borscht.
