Borsch without meat - useful tips and tricks
• Borsch will be very bright and red if you add a little vinegar or a few citric acid crystals when browning beets.
• Fresh borscht is not very tasty. And if the tomatoes did not give enough acid, you can add some lemon juice to the pan or put a slice of citrus in the plate.
• To give the dish a pleasant mushroom flavor, do not have to boil the broth. You can grind a couple of dried mushrooms on a coffee grinder, fry together with sautéing and put in a pan. And vegetarian borscht will have a completely different flavor.
• Sorrel can be put not only in green soup, but also in ordinary. The leaves will add the first dish of the missing acid and eliminate the need to put lemon juice, pour vinegar.
• The most delicious borscht that managed to insist. It is recommended to prepare the dish for 1.5 hours before lunch, so that the tastes of all the ingredients combined.
• Dumplings with garlic - the best addition to borscht. But there is not always time to put the dough, wait until it fits and bake. There is an alternative! Cut cubes of stale bread, mix with grated garlic, sprinkle with butter and dry in the oven fragrant crackers!
