How to cook borscht correctly

Borsch is one of the most popular dishes of Ukrainian cuisine. It is loved by many people, but there is always room for improvement.

Here are some tips from the prostoway website that will help you cook the perfect borsch. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Don't focus on garlic. Don't forget about spices. Cook borscht over low heat to prevent it from burning. Try these tips and your borscht will become even more delicious!

Add sugar

Red beets are the basis of borscht, but they don't always have a rich, sweet taste. To fix this, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the borscht. This will give the dish balance and a pleasant flavor.

Cook with two types of meat

Borscht will have a richer and more interesting flavor if you cook it with two types of meat. For example, you can combine pork and beef, chicken and pork, or even beef and lamb.

Add garlic

Garlic is an essential ingredient in borscht. It gives the dish a sharpness and piquancy. Add garlic (grated or pressed) to the borscht at the end of cooking and be sure to cook it for 5-10 minutes. This will make the garlic softer and prevent it from spoiling the taste of the borscht.
