Step by step

Method

  1. 01

    Unfortunately, the frame did not include minced meat and bell pepper. Peel all the vegetables.

  2. 02

    From minced meatballs to form meatballs. Put them in hot water, let them cook. If necessary, remove the foam.

  3. 03

    Potatoes cut in a small cube and after 8 minutes lower in broth to meatballs. I like boiled potatoes in borscht.

  4. 04

    Cut the beets with a small straw, no thicker than a match. I never use grater for this purpose, it is much more delicious. Onions, thin half-rings or smaller.

  5. 05

    Chop carrots with straws, just like beets.

  6. 06

    In a small amount of vegetable oil, roast lightly onions. Put beets on the onion, and then carrots.

  7. 07

    Then, slice the bell pepper with a small straw and add to the vegetables. Pepper will give borsch an indescribable sweetness and spicy taste. Stir well, fry for 5 minutes and add some water. Close the lid and let the vegetables stew a little.

  8. 08

    After 15 minutes, put the tomato paste and crushed green garlic. Save, add sugar, hops-suneli and red pepper. Put it all together for another 5 minutes. The roast is ready.

  9. 09

    While stewing vegetables need to cut young cabbage. She's getting ready very quickly. Put it in a broth with meatballs and potatoes.

  10. 10

    After five minutes, you can add ready-made vegetables from the pan to the pan.

  11. 11

    Try salt, sugar and acid. Add what's missing. Let the borscht boil for another 3 minutes and turn off the fire. Let him stand for a few minutes.

  12. 12

    Borsht with meatballs pour on plates, add sour cream and chopped greens to taste.

  13. 13

    And feeding your loved ones. Enjoy your meal.
