Borscht with egg

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook borscht with eggs? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Instead of beef, you can take any meat (pork, chicken, turkey), or if you wish, cook without meat, using meat or vegetable broth or just water. If you need a rich broth, take meat with a bone. I have beef ribs.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the beef. Pour 3 liters of water into the pan, add the meat on the bone and boil over low heat, skimming off the foam, for about 1 hour until done. If you have chicken or turkey, cook for 40 minutes. How to choose a pan, read the article at the end of this recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Remove the top damaged leaves from the cabbage and remove the stalk. Shred the cabbage.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the potatoes, wash and cut into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the bell pepper, remove seeds and stems and cut into strips.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the eggs in running water, hard-boil, cool and peel. Cut into small cubes. The brighter the yolks, the more beautiful the borscht will be.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the dill and parsley in running water, shake off moisture and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, cilantro, basil, green onions, wild garlic, etc.

8. STEP 8

   

   Now prepare the necessary products for frying. You can save time by using a ready-made canned store-bought or homemade borscht dressing. For a link to suitable homemade dressing recipes, see the steps at the end of the recipe.

9. STEP 9

   

   Peel the carrots and beets and grate on a coarse grater.

10. STEP 10

    

    Peel the onion and cut into half rings.

11. STEP 11

    

    Separate the finished meat from the bones and cut into small pieces.

12. STEP 12

    

    Strain the broth and return to medium heat. Add meat and potatoes and bay leaves. Cook for about 10 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onions, carrots and beets, pour in a little broth from the pan and simmer everything together for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft. At the end, add salt and pepper.

14. STEP 14

    

    Add cabbage and bell pepper to the pan. Cook everything together for about 10 minutes more.

15. STEP 15

    

    Transfer the roast into a saucepan. Then add chopped eggs and herbs, pressed garlic and spices. Bring the borscht to a boil and turn off the heat.

16. STEP 16

    

    Cover the pan with a lid and let the borscht steep for 15 minutes. Then pour into plates and serve. Bon appetit!

What could be more familiar than cooking borscht? There are a lot of options for preparing it. I loved this recipe, plus serving it with an egg. A very interesting approach. I made the broth from pork since I didn’t have any beef on hand. But it still turned out delicious. Thanks to the author for the recipe!

I'm interested in the recipe for borscht with eggs. I cooked it with pork ribs. The borscht turned out to be satisfying and rich. The addition of boiled eggs turned out to be very interesting and added new flavor notes to the usual flavor combination. But I deviated a little from the recipe, I didn’t have enough sourness, literally five minutes before it was ready, I added homemade tomato juice to the borscht. Thanks for the recipe, Maria! I take note of adding eggs to borscht)))
