Sour cream is considered a classic addition to borscht.
Thanks to the fermented milk product, the ruby soup becomes more appetizing: a pleasant creamy taste appears.
In addition, the dish acquires a better consistency - it becomes thicker.
Sour cream also makes borscht more filling.
But what to do if there is no package of a popular fermented milk product in the refrigerator?
The expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova is in a hurry to please gourmets: there is a very worthy alternative to sour cream.
Got a bottle of kefir in the fridge? Be glad: you have something to add to your soup.
Yes, don't be surprised! Kefir can easily act as a "dressing" for borscht.
Moreover, this fermented milk drink, oddly enough, goes perfectly with the popular first course.
But don’t rush: you need to wait until the soup poured into the plate has cooled down at least a little.
When the borscht is no longer very hot, you can add a little kefir (about a third of a glass per serving) and mix thoroughly.
There is another important point: borscht seasoned with fermented milk drink should be eaten immediately. With such an additive, the soup will not be stored for long.
Thanks to the kefir ingredient, borscht acquires tenderness and a very interesting flavor note.
Earlier, gourmets were told what to add to cutlets to make them fluffier and juicier.
