Many people love borscht. Of course, it is ideal when the dish turns out bright red. But, alas, not always.
There is one trick that solves the problem very quickly. Or maybe it is not a trick, but a mistake that many make during the cooking process.
Be that as it may, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, told what needs to be done to make sure the borscht is bright red.
You should increase the amount of beets, especially if you're using a larger pot, she says.
In addition, it is advisable to add something sour to the borscht, for example, lemon juice or vinegar.
As for frying, it is recommended to add it at the end, not at the beginning.
It is worth remembering: the longer the beets are cooked, the lighter the color of the broth becomes.
For reference
Borscht is a hot, seasoned soup made with beets, which give it its characteristic red color.
