Today, every cook has a set of spices for meat, fish, vegetables and anything else her heart desires.
The abundance of food encourages experimentation, but in some cases enthusiasm only harms the cause. We will tell you what ingredients should not be in sight when preparing borscht.
These products spoil the borscht
This mainly concerns spices.
1. The first of them is cloves. Some cooks practice it and find the recipe not bad.
But in classic borscht there should be no inflorescences. Because of the cloves, the borscht becomes inappropriately spicy.
2. Next on the list is cinnamon. It is more appropriate in baking and maybe in other recipes, but not in borscht.
3. Khmeli-suneli, as well as other colorful spices that are related to national cuisines.
4. The same goes for ground ginger and turmeric. Those who like these spices should add them individually to their plates.
They won't spoil the borscht
The products of the borscht set will not lose their taste and aroma if you add black pepper. On the contrary, the borscht only benefits from this.
Professionals advise adding dill if the broth is cooked from chicken or pork.
But borscht with beef broth is perfectly complemented by fresh parsley.
