Borscht is the most popular Ukrainian dish, which is enjoyed in different parts of the country. We tell you how one simple ingredient can decorate it.
This dish is often present in the diet of Ukrainians. It's no secret that every housewife has her own recipe. It can differ in absolute trifles - from the amount of cabbage to how small the potatoes are chopped. However, every little thing has a meaning and can affect the taste of the finished dish. That is why you need to approach everything carefully.
How to improve the taste of borscht
So, for example, you can add just 2 tablespoons of honey to make the finished Ukrainian borscht richer and much more tender. According to cooks, such a clever trick will help neutralize excess acid and balance the spices. It is better to choose solid honey - it is richer and contains a much larger palette of aromas.
By the way, such a culinary trick - the combination of sweet and salty - is used by professionals all over the world. So, for example, in the best restaurants in France, you can find pears baked with shrimp. But our cooks have adapted Italian pizza to the gastronomic needs of those who like to experiment. It is often prepared with the addition of pineapple and chicken.
That is why preparing traditional Ukrainian borscht with honey is a great idea. Two tablespoons in a whole pot will have a delicate taste. The aroma of herbs will add charm to the dish and will be able to "dilute" the usual meal. For such a dinner, you can serve croutons in the oven, prepared from black bread. Also, don't forget to add chopped Ukrainian lard to the borscht.
