Bay leaf	1-2 sheets
sweet peas	3-4 pieces
water (vegetable broth)	2-2.5 liters

Cooking method

• 1

  Wash vegetables, peel and wash again.

• 2

  Pour some of the oil into the pan. Dice the onion and fry until golden. Grate or chop the beets.

• 3

  Put the beets on the onion and fry lightly. The volume of beets should be halved.

• 4

  We also cut or grate the carrots.

• 5

  Let's add the carrots to the beets. Fry them together until the volume of the carrots is halved. Fry over medium heat. We need a light roast.

• 6

  We puree the tomatoes. If you are using tomato juice, then skip the point.

• 7

  Pour juice to vegetables, add sugar and tomato paste. Stir, let it boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer the vegetables until cooked and the liquid evaporates.

• 8

  Pour water or vegetable broth into a saucepan. We cut the potatoes. As soon as the water (broth) boils, lower the potatoes. Bring to a boil, remove the foam, salt and reduce the heat. Cook the potatoes until tender.

• 9

  While the potatoes are boiling and the borsch dressing is stewing, cut the eggplant into slices 0.5-0.7 centimeters thick.

• 10

  In the remaining oil, lightly fry the eggplant on both sides.

• 11

  Chop the cabbage.

• 12

  Let's cut two kinds of peppers and garlic.

• 13

  Let's take out some of the potatoes and knead. Put the puree back into the pot. If the potatoes are "boiled", then skip this item.

• 14

  If you like soft cabbage in borscht, now is the time to put it and boil it after boiling for 3-4 minutes. We love crispy cabbage in borscht, so I put the dressing.

• 15

  Let the borscht with dressing simmer for 2-3 minutes.

• 16

  Add cabbage (if you didn't put it in before dressing), two kinds of peppers, garlic, eggplant and smoked plum.

• 17

  Let it boil for 3-4 minutes.

• 18

  Cut the greens. Add to borsch. Put the bay leaf and allspice.

• 19

  Stir, let it boil, turn it off, cover with a lid and let it brew for at least 30 minutes.

• Cooking is not difficult, the main thing is to cook with love for your loved ones)

Note

I used plums for borscht from this recipe

Smoked candied plums (ang-kay)

... The sweetness doesn't get in the way. Almost all of it goes into the dish, but the plum also remains not sour, but pleasant.
I always cook lean borscht, my husband does not recognize others. But you can easily cook such borscht in meat broth by adding smoked brisket. Then a slight hint of "haze" will appear even more. Eggplants in it are very harmoniously combined with other vegetables we are used to. Recommend!

Miracle! With eggplants all the time to the king, without them the taste is not at all the same, now I'll try and add a plum .. thanks for the idea!

[Natalia]

NataliaI hope I like this option. We are delicious)

[Angela]

Urgently urgently urgently !!! It is necessary to cook borsch with eggplants and plums, in the absence of smoked ones - just with plums. I have never tried this, but it should be delicious.
Angela, thanks for the recipe!

[Check mark,]

Check mark, to health.It will be delicious with ordinary dry plums.

[Angela]

We are delicious)

we will also, I have no doubt
Angela,

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, awesome borscht !!! Let's accumulate plums, and then))))))

today I will try to pour syrup for the first time

Angela, what an interesting recipe! And I don't even know which is more surprising for me - eggplant or plum. I will definitely cook it to find out the taste. Thanks for the original idea.

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, we have a fever, I didn’t want to eat all day, well, I came in by accident, so what should I do now? I want this borscht
And in general the appetite woke up

[Girls,]

Girls, Help yourself)

we will also

Hope you like checkmark)

what is more surprising to me is eggplant or plum.

Natasha, there is borsch with prunes, and there is borsch with eggplant. And here we live together. I wanted the borschik not to disappoint you.

Let's accumulate plums, and then))))))

Jeanne, I know it won't rust behind you)

appetite woke up

Ira, everything is most delicious at night) Yes, and there are few calories in it, if the lean option. You can pamper yourself in the evening

[Angela]

Angela, great idea and great master class.

How do you cook vegetables with love - not on a grater, not with a knife as it turns out, but on a Berner julienne - respect!

It seems to me it will be an awesome combination ... In the absence of smoked plums, I can try at least with prunes first

Thank you.

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, you are naive, lean, it will not work for me meat, no, not so, I need more MEAT.
It will get colder by Sunday, I'll do it, now it's simply impossible, we have +32 in the shade during the day

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, Sveta, Thank you)))

not on a grater, not with a knife as it turns out, but on a berner julienne - respect!

Sveta, this is because Berner is, and sometimes it is just a knife.

smoked plums, maybe at least with prunes first

It will be good with prunes too.

meat, no not, I need more MEAT.

Irochka, with meat, of course, and with a piece of smoked loin-otpad. But I don’t eat borscht-soups with meat, well, if only meatballs or hodgepodge. Sometimes soup in broth, but without browning. Here we are spoiled

Eh, in such a plate, all the autumn beauty! I love the end of summer and the beginning of autumn! Bright colors and aromas! Thank you for the beauty dear!

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, and kharcho with smoked plums ...
I love borscht, by the way .. The only time in my life I ate real Ukrainian borscht with friends in Kupyansk .. I still can't forget its taste ..

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, we are spoiled, I would eat without meat, but some require meat.
And thank you, I learned how to make inscriptions on photos
Yesterday I downloaded the program and dabbled and, most importantly, I was happy like a child

[Tumanchik]
