If it so happened that you wanted to cook borsch, but there were no beets at hand, it doesn't matter;) Cook borsch without beets! It will turn out to be no less tasty than traditional red borscht, but its color will not be as intense.

Borscht without beets can be prepared with any meat or without it at all, so to speak, a dietary option. I cooked it with a small piece of pork (if you want, you can safely increase the amount of meat, the borsch will not suffer from this:))), and we liked this borscht.

To cook borscht without beets, take pork (or chicken, or beef or other meat), potatoes, water, salt, vegetable oil, onions, carrots, bell peppers, tomato paste, white cabbage, garlic, ground pepper, bay leaf. Cut the meat into pieces and boil until tender in the specified amount of water. Peel the potatoes, cut (cubes), rinse and transfer to the broth. Boil the potatoes until tender.

While the potatoes are boiling, cut the onion and bell peppers into cubes, grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Fry bell peppers, onions and carrots in vegetable oil until golden brown, then add tomato paste, fry for a couple of minutes. Frying for borscht is ready.

Cut the cabbage into thin strips. When the potatoes are boiled, salt the broth.

Put the cabbage in a saucepan and cook it after boiling for 5 minutes. Then transfer the frying to the borscht and boil it all together again for about 5-7 minutes.

At the end, add garlic (through a press), half a bay leaf and ground pepper to the borsch without beets.

Let the finished borscht brew for 15-20 minutes, and then serve;)

And bon appetit !!!
