Chefs do not always succeed in preparing a beautiful borscht of a bright red color.
Sometimes the first course is an unappetizing pale mass, although its taste may not be inferior to that of a restaurant dish.
To make sure that both the taste and appearance of the borscht are at their best, you can use a simple trick. Many housewives use it when they want to make bright red borscht.
You need to throw two familiar ingredients into the frying for the first course. Experienced cooks do not advise throwing beets straight into the pan.
It is recommended to grate the root vegetable and then fry it together with onions and carrots. In addition, 9% vinegar (1-2 tbsp) and sugar (1-2 tbsp) are added to the vegetables.
The ingredients are stewed in a frying pan for about 5 minutes. Then they are transferred to a saucepan and the borscht is cooked according to the recipe. Thanks to this trick, the first course acquires a bright red color. Such borscht will instantly arouse the appetite and praise of everyone who tastes it.
