Yield Makes about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium beets, scrubbed well
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 dried mushrooms (morels and porcini; about 1/2 ounce)
1/2 cup hot water
Homemade Vegetable Stock
1/3 cup coarsely chopped celery leaves
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
Freshly squeezed lemon juice or citric acid, to taste
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup coarsely chopped dill

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place beets on a piece of parchment paper -- lined aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold up edges of foil and parchment to enclose beets. Place on a small baking sheet, and bake until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel, and coarsely grate; set aside.
  • Soak mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving liquid. Coarsely chop mushrooms; set aside.
  • In a medium stockpot, combine stock, beets, mushrooms, mushroom liquid, celery leaves, parsley, garlic, sugar, a large pinch of salt, and a large pinch of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Add lemon juice or citric acid. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and flour, stirring until no lumps remain. Whisk in a ladleful of soup, then whisk the sour-cream mixture into the soup. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in dill just before serving.

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds beef shin with bone, cut across in 2-inch pieces
1 small onion with skin, cut in half
2 medium carrots, peeled; 1 quartered, 1 grated
3 medium red beets, scrubbed well
6 tablespoons tomato paste
4 medium cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1/2 pound red cabbage, shredded
2 medium tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1 pound firm potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and cooked in boiling salted water until tender
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup chopped dill
1/2 boiled firm potato per person, optional
Sour cream
Chopped dill

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, cover the beef with 6 cups water. Stir in the onion and quartered carrot. Bring to a boil. Skim off any foam and fat that rises to the surface. Lower the heat, and simmer gently for 1 hour 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, and measure the liquid; there should be about 4 1/2 cups. Reserve the liquid and the meat.
  • Return the beef and strained liquid to the pan. Bring to a boil. Add the beets, and return to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the tip of a knife easily pierces the beets. Remove the beets, and allow to cool slightly. Peel them, and grate coarsely. Return the grated beets to the soup.
  • Dissolve the tomato paste in 1/2 cup of the soup, and stir back into the pot. Stir in the garlic, grated carrot, cabbage, tomatoes, bay leaf, vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Remove the meat, and discard the bones. Slice the meat 1/2-inch thick, and stir into the soup, along with the cubed potatoes, salt, pepper and the 1/3 cup dill. Return to a boil for 2 minutes.
  • If desired, place a half potato in the bottom of each large bowl. Ladle in the soup. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of dill.

VESELKA'S FAMOUS BORSCHT



Veselka's Famous Borscht image

In this recipe, beets are cooked in two separate batches: One batch is used to make "beet water," a kind of rich beet stock, and the other is cooked and grated.

Categories     Beet     Summer     Fall     Appetizer     Dinner     Celery     Cabbage     Potato     Pork     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 8 first course, or 4-6 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds (10 to 12) small beets, scrubbed thoroughly but not peeled
9 tablespoons white vinegar
One 2-pound boneless pork butt, halved
8 cups beef, chicken, or vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon whole allspice berries
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
3 large celery stalks, sliced
1 small head of green cabbage (about ¾ to 1 pound), shredded (about 4 cups)
2 medium Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
One 15-ounce can lima beans, drained and rinsed
Salt

Steps:

  • To make the "beet water," roughly chop 2 pounds of the beets (select the smaller ones), preferably in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Place the chopped beets in a large stockpot. Add 10 cups of water and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
  • Place the stockpot over high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 2 hours. (If it seems like the liquid is evaporating too quickly, you may need to cover the pot partially with an offset lid.) The beets should be extremely soft and the liquid bright red.
  • Strain the liquid, pressing the cooked beets against the side of the strainer to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp or reserve. Set aside the beet water. You should have just about 4 cups.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 1 pound of whole beets in a separate large stockpot. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the beets are tender-firm, about 40 minutes. When the beets are cooked, add 1 tablespoon white vinegar and set them aside to cool.
  • When the whole cooked beets are cool enough to handle, peel them; the skins should slip off easily. Grate the peeled beets on the largest holes of a box grater or in a food processor fitted with the grating blade.
  • To make the broth, place the pork butt in a large stockpot and add the beef stock. If necessary, add a little more stock or water to cover. Add the bay leaf, allspice berries, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the meat is tender and beginning to fall apart, about 2 hours. Set the pork aside to cool. When the pork is cool enough to handle, remove it from the pot and cut the meat into ½-inch cubes. Strain the broth and discard the bay leaf, allspice berries, and peppercorns. Reserve the cubed meat and 4 cups of the broth.
  • To cook the vegetables, place the carrots and celery in a large stockpot and pour the reserved meat broth over them. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the carrots and celery are just tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cabbage and potatoes and continue to cook until the potatoes and carrots are easily pierced with a pairing knife but keep their shape, 15 to 20 additional minutes. Add the lima beans and cook for 5 additional minutes, just to meld the flavors. Gradually add the remaining 7 tablespoons white vinegar, tasting between additions and stopping when the flavor is to your liking. Remove the soup from the heat and set aside.
  • To compose the soup, in a large soup pot combine the "beet water" and meat broth with the vegetables. Add the cubed pork and the grated beets. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over low heat. Season to taste with salt and serve immediately.

Nov 2, 2024 How to keep borscht bright red like in the photos. To keep borscht red, add a bit of vinegar, lemon juice, or beet kvass near the end of cooking. The acidity helps preserve the beets’ bright color. Avoid boiling the soup after adding the beets. High heat breaks down the pigments, turning the color brownish. Instead, keep it at a gentle simmer.
