Borscht is not just a dish, it is a true symbol of Ukrainian culture. Its rich, ruby color and deep flavor make borscht unique. Beef adds a pure, deep taste that, combined with the other ingredients, reveals its full richness.

Fresh beets give borscht its characteristic color and sweet-earthy flavor, creating a unique base for this traditional dish. Each region of Ukraine brings its own touch to the classic recipe, turning borscht into an unforgettable gastronomic journey.


Variations:

In Podillia, borscht is often prepared with red beans.

Poltava region is known for borscht with dumplings.

In the South, barley flour is added for thickening.

Slobozhanshchyna offers an interesting variation with beer.

Western Ukrainian Christmas Eve borscht is served with small dumplings.


Secrets of tenderness and flavor:

Use beef on the bone for a richer broth. Fry the beets separately in oil to preserve their bright color. Cook the meat separately to remove foam. Choose the freshest ingredients to ensure tenderness of each component.


Ingredient tips:

Choose young, fresh beets without damage. Cabbage should be firm and white. Add garlic and herbs at the end of cooking for a more pronounced aroma. Tomatoes can be replaced with two tablespoons of tomato puree.


Cooking nuances:

Regularly removing foam ensures a clear broth. Do not overcook vegetables, especially cabbage — it should remain crisp. Adding salt in small portions ensures the perfect taste. It is better not to cook borscht with a lid on to prevent the flavor from becoming heavy.
