Step by step recipe

Pickle the beets. Boil the beets completely without peeling them, cool, peel and grate. Place in a jar or other similar container, pour in cucumber or tomato marinade and keep in the refrigerator for at least a day. The marinade can be prepared by adding sugar, salt and vinegar (or lemon juice) to taste to cool boiled water.

Cook pork broth. Rinse a piece of pork on the bone, put it in a saucepan, add water to about 4-6 cm below the edge and put on fire. While the broth is coming to a boil, peel one carrot and one onion. Just before boiling, skim off the foam from the broth. As soon as the broth boils, put the carrots and onions in it, reduce the heat and cook under a loosely covered lid until the meat separates from the bone.

Prepare potatoes and cabbage. When the broth is almost ready, finely chop the cabbage. Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces.

Strain the broth. Throw out the carrots and onions. Place the piece of pork on a plate to cool. Put the broth back on the heat and bring to a boil.

Add potatoes. Dump the potatoes into the broth, stir and bring to a boil.

Add cabbage. As soon as the broth with potatoes boils again, dump the cabbage in there. Stir, bring to a boil, cover loosely with a lid and reduce heat.

Prepare a fry of onions, carrots and paprika. Peel the onions and carrots. Remove the seeds from the paprika. Cut the onion into small cubes, grate the carrots, cut the paprika into narrow strips. Pour vegetable oil into a cool, dry frying pan to about 1-2 mm above the bottom and heat over medium heat. Place the onion in the heated oil and stir. Then dump out the carrots and mix again. Simmer over low heat under a closed lid for 3-5 minutes, add paprika, stir and simmer further over low heat under a closed lid until fully cooked - pieces of carrots and paprika should just break off with the edge of a spoon.

Check the readiness of potatoes and cabbage. If the potato pieces just mash with the back of a spoon on the side of the pan, and the cabbage pieces just break apart with the edge of the spoon, you can continue.

Add pickled beets to the borscht. Place the pickled beets in the borscht, stir, bring to a boil, cover loosely with a lid and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Add frying to the borscht and add salt. Place the roast into the borscht, stir, test for salt, add salt to taste, stir again, bring to a boil, cover loosely with a lid and reduce heat.

Chop green onions and dill.

Add greens to borscht. Pour green onions and dill into the borscht, stir, bring to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce heat, let simmer for 1-2 minutes and remove the pan from the heat.

Reddish borscht with pickled beets is ready! When serving, season the borscht with sour cream.
