One of the most common reasons for not-so-tasty borscht is the untimely addition of fried ingredients.
The vegetable mixture heated in a frying pan should end up in the soup at a certain moment.
If the cook breaks the rule, the flavors of the ingredients will not be able to fully reveal themselves.
This important point was highlighted by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
When to add fried vegetables to borscht
The carrot-beetroot-onion mixture should appear in the soup much later than the potatoes and cabbage.
If you add the fried ingredients to the borscht at a time when the potato and cabbage components are not yet cooked, it will not end well.
To avoid problems, add the heated vegetable mixture in a frying pan exactly 5 minutes before the end of cooking the borscht.
In this case, you will achieve the correct disclosure of flavors.
The soup will turn out truly appetizing.
Other frying related recommendations
The vegetable mixture should be heated over low heat.
It is worth using tomato paste as an additional ingredient: it will improve the taste of the borscht and make the color of the soup more beautiful.
And there is no need to add garlic to the frying. The chopped hot component should be sent directly to the soup: it will be much tastier.
