In addition to the pronounced taste, such borscht is very satisfying, therefore, a hungry husband after a hard working day will "mature" after the first plate.
Over time, the taste of borsch with pork can be pretty annoying. Therefore, we begin to think about what changes can be made to the classic recipe for its preparation, so that the dish finds new taste notes.
In today's step-by-step recipe with photos, we will cook borsch with the usual pork, but instead of fresh vegetables, add pickled cabbage and carrots to it. Thanks to such minor changes, the traditional dish will acquire an unusual aroma and interesting, previously unfamiliar, taste. Tender piquancy and spice will give borsch with pork adjika, which we will add to the vegetable dressing.
In this recipe, you will learn many cooking secrets that you never knew before. These secrets and tricks will change the familiar taste of your favorite soup beyond recognition. So that as a result you get a fragrant and freshly tasty borscht, follow our photo recipe.
The first thing you need to start cooking borsch is the broth. Rinse the meat thoroughly on the bones or use the part of the pork that you have. Immerse the pork in a pan, pour a little water and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils, set the pan aside and drain the first water. After that, rinse the meat and fill the pan with clean water. Boil the broth for an hour.
While cooking the broth, prepare a dressing for borsch. Peel beets, tomatoes and onions. Cut the tomato and beets into thin strips, and cut the onion into cubes. Heat the pan thoroughly and pour a little vegetable oil. Put vegetables and fry for five minutes.
After that, add in them the juice of half a lemon and cover the vegetables with a lid. Lemon is needed so that the beets retain their color during frying and subsequently give it to the broth. Thanks to this secret, your borsch will have a rich burgundy color. Instead of lemon, you can use table vinegar, only you need about half a teaspoon of it.
Prepare adjika.
Add a teaspoon of adjika to the dressing and mix well. Stew the vegetables with beets and adjika for 5-7 minutes. After that, turn off the heat and let the vegetable dressing languish under the lid. We will return to her a little later.
In the meantime, remove the pork from the broth and cool completely. Separate the meat from the bone and cut it into small pieces.
Peel and chop the potatoes. Add chopped potatoes to boiling broth and salt it a little.
Now it's time to add our secret ingredients - pickled cabbage and carrots. It is these vegetables that will give the borsch with pork a fresh taste and spicy aroma. You can use fresh vegetables, but you need to add them at the beginning of cooking a vegetable dressing. Put the carrots and cabbage in the pork broth and mix everything well.
Add the chopped meat, cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat.
Almost at the very end, add the ready-made vegetable dressing and cook the borscht for another 10 minutes on low heat.
Take the greens you love. Wash it thoroughly and dry it. Grind the greens thoroughly and add to the finished borsch.
Borsch with pork and pickled cabbage is completely ready! Add a little black pepper or other spices - and you can serve. Put sour cream on the table: let everyone add it to taste.
Bon Appetit!
Some do not want to cook borsch with pork - fat, de, it will work out. Meanwhile, if without haste, then borsch with pork can be made not fat at all! And cheaper than beef, by the way. And to taste - not a little worse. But I warn you, you need to invest more time in this recipe. I start cooking the broth from the evening of the previous day.
V.V. Pokhlebkin claims that borsch with pork is a meat-and-bone borsch. And that, you know, is right! Bone broth - it is more fragrant than just meat. Here is the first portion of products for the broth: pork ribs with almost no meat and some other bones there - the cheapest that a butcher has. Well, and water, of course. Water 2 liters.
Bring water with bones to a boil, reduce heat to a minimum and simmer for 4-6 hours. Then, if possible, let the broth stand overnight. This will allow us to ... make the meal less greasy!
The fat formed on the surface of the broth is removed and stored for later use. We get the ribs. To be honest, I only got 2 tablespoons of meat from them, very small-fiber fragments. I don’t eat cartilage and fat, but if you have lovers, you can put aside cartilage. Drain the broth from the pan so that bottom dregs and bone fragments remain at the bottom. We will use only transparent broth.
Well, now that the bone broth is ready, the turn of the main products has come: 250 gr. pork (some cheap piece with veins is quite suitable), a quarter of a cabbage, 2 potatoes, half a carrot, half a parsley root, a small onion and a large beet. Garlic and parsley to taste, salt - somewhere a tablespoon without top. And, of course, sour cream for those who love.
This photograph contains a piece of butter. It is needed only if you do not have the opportunity to let the bone broth cool completely and collect frozen fat from it. Bone broth has a very strong aroma of its own, so I consider the use of peppers and parsley excessive.
We put the pork in bone broth, bring to a boil, remove the foam, reduce to a minimum and cook for 2 hours.
Wrap unpeeled beets in confectionery paper and bake in the microwave until soft. Depending on the size and humidity of the beets, this may take 7-15 minutes at maximum. Let the baked beets cool directly in the paper. Of course, the same can be done in the oven, but in it it will take longer than in the microwave. What do we achieve in this way? We do without frying beets in oil, i.e. reduce the fat content of borsch.
Somewhere in 10-15 minutes before the pork is ready, we start cutting the ingredients. We clean, finely chop carrots, parsley and onions.
Peel and cut the potatoes not very finely.
When the pork is ready, remove it from the broth, turn the heat on to the maximum and throw the potatoes into the pan. Cook it for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stew in onion, taken from the surface of bone broth, onions, carrots and parsley.
While the potatoes are cooked, and the onions and carrots are fried, we cut the cabbage into thin strips.
10 minutes after the start of cooking the potatoes, add the cabbage and cook them for 10 minutes together. Onions, carrots, parsley, if ready, turn off. Three beets on a coarse grater.
Cut the pork into portions. If you have fat lovers, we remove the fat immediately so that they do not poke around in plates.
After 10 minutes of cooking potatoes, plus after 10 minutes of cooking cabbage, lay the fried onions, carrots, parsley, grated beets and chopped meat, salt and cook all together for another 10 minutes. Total - 30 minutes of cooking.
This borscht has an orange-red color, because beets were cooked without vinegar and other acidifiers. As you can see, borsch with pork is not fat. You can serve it with chopped parsley, finely chopped garlic and sour cream.
