In most cases, the list of ingredients for borscht does not cause any disputes: as a rule, the products used are quite typical.
However, it is worth remembering that the soup has many variations and recipes.
That's why the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" on culinary and cooking issues, chef Yulia Arkhipova, shared unusual additives for borscht.
Which ones are worth knowing about?
Ginger pieces
This component is introduced by housewives who like a hint of piquancy in dishes. The ginger root is finely chopped and peeled.
Afterwards it is added during the preparation of the frying.
Chili pepper
Some add it in powder form, others add it fresh. As a result, the borscht can be much spicier than we are used to.
Celery root
This component is also absent from the classic recipe, but it can be added as part of an experiment. Thanks to this, borscht becomes much healthier.
Prunes
Many will be surprised by the fact that there are recipes for soup with prunes. The component will make borscht surprisingly interesting and unusual.
However, do not forget to soak the prunes first.
