Delicious borscht in 10 minutes: Tetiana Lytvynova shares her secrets and recipe

What Ukrainian doesn't like borsch, and even more so in meat broth, with sour cream, donuts, and herbs? But this delicious dish doesn't always turn out well, even if you spend 2 hours cooking it.

Tetiana Lytvynova, a cook and MasterChef judge, shared a recipe for the most delicious borscht on her YouTube channel. You can prepare it in just 10 minutes.

The secrets of a quick dish:

• boil water in a kettle so as not to wait long for it to boil in a saucepan
• Be sure to fry vegetables in butter instead of vegetable oil, so they will be more flavorful, soft, and tasty

• Choose potatoes that boil quickly and add salt after the water boils
• Boil the carrots beforehand; they are much healthier when cooked than when raw
• use a vegetable peeler

Ingredients:

• Potatoes – 3 pcs.
• Onions – 1 pc.
• Carrots – 1 pc.
• Beetroot – 1 pc.
• Sweet pepper – 1/2 pc.
• White cabbage – 250 g
• Tomato paste – 70 g
• Butter – 15 g
• Salt, black pepper – to taste

Method of preparation:

• Boil water in a kettle – about 2 liters, pour it into a saucepan and put it on high heat.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes so that they boil well and put them in the pot.

• Pre-cook the carrots, and peel them along with the onions and beets.
• Put the vegetables in a blender with a chopping attachment or simply grate them.

• Put the cooked vegetables in a hot frying pan with butter and fry well until they become soft.
• Finely chop the bell pepper and add it to the vegetables, stir, and add the tomato paste. Transfer the finished sautéed vegetables to a saucepan, stir, and add the bay leaf.

• Finely chop the cabbage and add it to the almost-finished dish.
• Add salt at the very end, stir, cover, and you're ready to eat a hearty, tasty dish.

Serve borscht with sour cream, herbs, and donuts.
