Red borscht

Red borscht.

This is my beloved and spectacular soup.

 

Red borscht in my edition

It is red wine and it tastes ...

 

Try it yourself.

 

I buy beets medium,

because it seems to me, That they are the tastiest.

 

I wash, I peel and cut into slices.

I pour cold water,

at most five cm over beetroot,

I pour a handful of cumin,

A handful of raisins,

I throw in a broth and a tablespoon of butter,

I add pepper, I cover with a lid

And I leave on low heat on

at least an hour and a half.

 

Then, If I have a beet sourdough

I acidify it with borscht,

And if I don't have, I pour a small amount of vinegar.

 

You can also acidify borscht with lemon juice.

 

However, I prefer vinegar.

 

I serve this borscht with potatoes puree

or with patties

or meat pancakes.

 

Pride!
