How to make a delicious dressing
Without a quality dressing, borscht will turn out pale, thin and not rich.
Each housewife has her own recipe for preparing this first course. However, the rules for preparing classic borscht have a number of nuances that should be paid attention to.
What needs to be done to make the dressing tasty?
- wash and peel the vegetables;
- grate the beets and carrots on a coarse grater;
- The onion can be diced, as can the tomatoes.
The next step is frying. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or cast iron and fry the onion until golden brown.
Add carrots, beets and continue frying. You can stew it a little until done. Add tomatoes to the vegetables and stew for another 15-20 minutes.
The hot dressing can be added to the borscht immediately or prepared in advance and rolled into jars. Using ready-made dressing reduces the cooking time by 30-40 minutes.
