Cooking steps

    The first step is to prepare meat broth... In order for the borscht with tomatoes to turn out to be very rich and with each spoon its taste opens up in a new way, the broth must be cooked correctly. In our recipe, the secret of its preparation will be revealed for you. Put meat in a deep saucepan, Bay leaf, peppercorns, two peeled carrots and ... a few peeled onions! Believe it or not, the broth itself with the addition of such components will become very rich and incredibly tasty! Pour in a little more water, because in the process of cooking borscht, we will use the broth for other processes. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat. Place the lid on the pot and let the meat and vegetables simmer and exchange flavors for two hours.

    Fresh tomatoes must be peeled. Make shallow cross-shaped cuts in the skin of the tomatoes. Pour boiling water into a deep container and immerse the tomatoes in it for a minute. Pour into another container cold water and transfer the tomatoes. Then take them out and peel off the skin with ease. Slice fresh tomatoes thin rings and place in a preheated pan. Fry them for a few minutes until they let the juice flow, then add a few tablespoons of tomato paste. Please note that vegetable oil we will not add: tomatoes should be stewed in their own juice. Tomatoes should be cooked until, together with the tomato paste, they turn into a homogeneous mass. Stir the tomatoes constantly.

    Meanwhile, peel the beets and cut into thin long straw... The thinner you cut the beets, the more interesting they will look in borscht. Better not chop the beets for coarse grater, since it will let out a lot of juice, and even during cooking it will acquire an incomprehensible consistency. When the tomatoes with tomato paste are smooth, add the chopped beets to them. Cook the beets and tomatoes until tender.

    Now you need to add to vegetable dressing some broth, mix well and cover. Stir vegetables occasionally and add broth. In this case, it is important not to rush, because if the beetroot-tomato paste "boils", the beets will lose their noble color, and the borscht will turn out to be of a pale tomato shade.

    Let's go back to our broth. Take out all the ingredients that were languishing there. Cool the meat and cut into portions or cut into large strips. Everything else can be sent to the trash bin, since we have already "pulled out" all the juices from carrots and onions. Peel the onions and cut into half rings. Peel the carrots and cut them into strips as thin and long as the beets. Sweet bulgarian pepper peel and rinse thoroughly. Cut the peppers into small cubes or thin strips. Send all chopped vegetables and meat to the broth.

    Finely chop the white cabbage and send to the borscht. Cook it to the extent that you like it (if you like soft cabbage–10-15 minutes, if you prefer crispy - 5-7 minutes).

    Now is the time to return to our beetroot tomato dressing... Due to the fact that it languished for almost two hours, the dressing acquired a noble pomegranate hue and an extraordinary aroma. Taste it; if you are satisfied with the ratio of sour tomatoes to sweet beets, you do not need to add anything. If not, add a little lemon juice or granulated sugar. Peel the garlic, crush the cloves with the flat side of a knife and chop finely. Use just enough garlic to make a tablespoon. Add chopped garlic to the beetroot-tomato dressing and mix thoroughly.

    After that, immediately send the finished dressing to the borscht and mix well.

    Let the borscht boil together with the dressing for 5-7 minutes, you do not need to cook any more. Wash and dry the greens, chop it finely and send it to the borscht. Turn off the heat and cover the tomato borsch with a lid: let all the vegetables exchange flavors and aromas.

    This dish will be even tastier the next day. To this rich, thick and delicious borscht with tomatoes it's not a sin to serve a glass cold vodka... And if you want a sharper borschik, then you can add a few pods of red pepper to it. Pour delicious soup on plates, sprinkle with fresh herbs on top, and serve.

    Bon Appetit!

Sweet bell peppers (green or red - not essential) need to be washed, removed from seeds and stalks, dried and cut into cubes. Send all of these ingredients to the broth.

    After fifteen minutes, you can wash and finely chop the cabbage. Send it to the borscht and cook until tender (make it soft or slightly crispy - whichever you prefer). Put a couple of pods of red hot pepper taste.

    By this time, the dressing will acquire the required consistency. You can navigate by the beets, which should become soft. Take a sample for the ratio of sweet (swelled) and sour (tomatoes). Sour notes should prevail. If you feel more sweetness, you need to acidify the workpiece with vinegar and lemon juice... These ingredients are administered very carefully and in small quantities. When the desired flavor is achieved, stir in one tablespoon of minced or finely chopped garlic into the dressing.

    Then add the dressing to the saucepan with the rest of the ingredients.
