How to keep borscht scarlet
A few simple tricks will help you prepare an amazingly delicious borscht of a bright red color.
Grate the beets on a medium grater and fry in a frying pan in a small amount of vegetable oil for 6-7 minutes, then season with tomato paste.
Add the prepared mixture to the borscht along with the vegetables: shredded cabbage and onion. Add the mixture to the pan in portions and do not let it boil, so that the beets do not lose their rich color.
In addition, to enhance the color of the dish, you can add citric acid.
Alternatively, before cooking, spray the beets with a small amount of vinegar with a concentration of 3-9%. But do not overdo it, so as not to make the beets sour.
If desired, vinegar can be replaced with a pinch of citric acid.
