An unusual food called "Simple and delicious beef borscht" acquires a completely new taste thanks to zucchini. You won't believe how much one ingredient can change the taste of the whole dish. Having tried such borscht for the first time, many will not understand that it includes zucchini. So check out this recipe yourself, it's worth doing for a change.
The process of cooking this borscht is in many ways similar to the process of cooking ordinary, traditional borscht. That is, the meat is boiled first (either in a whole piece, or, if you want to hurry, in pieces). To make the broth clean, you can strain it, and then follow the scheme: we lower potatoes and cabbage into the boiling liquid. We pass the beets in oil separately from other vegetables. Carrots, onions and parsley root can be fried in oil together with apples, which are better to grate on a coarse grater (for example, I did this, but first I peeled them). Tomatoes are either boiled and rubbed through a sieve, or simply cut into slices and lowered into boiling broth (you can remove the skin). In what order you will fill the borscht with vegetables, it is not important, the main thing is that the last thing to be added: zucchini (diced), tomatoes and apples. We spice up an almost ready-made dish with spices, and put the greens directly into the plate. The whole cooking takes a little less than an hour.
