Some housewives are very zealous about preparing borscht, considering only the classic recipe to be good.
However, professional chefs recommend boldly experimenting even when preparing well-known dishes.
Sometimes it is enough to add a couple of unusual ingredients for the soup to surprise you with its taste and quality.
What 2 ingredients can be added to borscht?
Dried fruits
This variation of borscht can be found in restaurants: chefs add prunes, dried apricots and even dried cherries to the classic dish.
You can add dried fruits whole or chop them finely with a knife. Some people remove the product after cooking, but dried fruits can be safely left in the pan.
Thanks to this trick, you can get an incredibly aromatic borscht with an unusual flavor.
Soy sauce
Some housewives are categorically against soy sauce, as it has nothing to do with Slavic cuisine. However, the popular Asian sauce has its advantages.
The component will help make the borscht more delicious, brighter and give the right level of sourness. It is enough to add 50 ml of sauce at the time of frying.
