How to make
Wash and clean the vegetables. Cut the beetroots into strips and saute them in a little oil, along with the vinegar, sugar and tomato paste.
Saute the onion, carrot and part of the parsley separately, then blend them in a blender. Dice the potatoes and put them in boiling water. After 5-10 min., add the cabbage that you've cut into strips to them.
Boil these products for 10 min., and add the blended vegetable mixture from earlier and the sauteed beetroots to them. Leave the borscht on the stove until all of the products soften.
Before taking the dish off the stove, season it with salt, black pepper and bay leaf. Serve the prepared borscht with crushed garlic. Season the dish with parsley and dill.
