A set of ingredients is traditional for borsch. Meat and vegetables. Piece of meat washed with running water. Take the pan, put the meat in there, pour two liters of water and cook the broth for about 30-40 minutes. When the broth is ready - we throw in it a thin straw stripped carrots and beets. Prepare the rest of the vegetables. Cabbage thinly shred, potatoes cut into small cubes, tomatoes and peppers - even smaller cubes. We begin cooking the roast. We heat the oil in a frying pan, throw it finely chopped onions. When the onion is gilded - add the tomatoes in the pan. After a couple of minutes, add the tomato paste and a couple of tablespoons of sour cream to the frying pan. Stir well and leave to stew. When sour cream is completely evaporated, and a layer of translucent oil appears on the surface of the frying pan, remove the frying pan from the fire. Meanwhile, a piece of meat should be taken from the broth. When the meat cools down so much that you can work with it, cut it into small pieces and return it back to the pan. Then add potatoes to the pot. After 10 minutes, add the cabbage to the pan. We continue to cook. After a couple of minutes add pepper to the borsch. We continue cooking on medium heat. While the borsch is cooked, we prepare the gas station. Dressing is the most important element of borsch, without it borsch is not borsch. To do this, finely chop parsley, garlic, lard. We grind the three above-mentioned ingredients with a mortar. Now go to the final stage of cooking our borscht. First we add salt, sugar and, to taste, black pepper to borsch. We taste borscht to taste. If something is wrong - adjust it by adding spices or tomato paste. If everything is OK - add our vegetable roast to the pan. Finally, add to the pan our gas station. We cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove it from the fire, cover it with a lid and let it brew at least 10-15 minutes. It remains only to properly serve our borscht - with a pile of iced vodka, black bread, bacon and garlic :) Sour, as Ukrainians say!
