Free Recipes-Beet Borscht

forfreerecipes — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 22:21:05 +0000

Found at the Mad Chemist:
1 small piece of pork (not in lent) (Grin…these are her words. Now, I don’t usually use meat in my own borscht…but I did try it to be ‘authentic’. To keep this lean and healthier use a vegetable bullion or cans of low sodium chicken broth.)
1 small onion (diced) (I have fussy men so I usually leave it whole to remove later and eat as a special treat JUST FOR ME!)
1/2 cup dried kidney beans (I used one whole can)
4 medium beets (roots and tops cut off, wash well, boil in salted water til beets are soft. Remove the skin and grate the beets, save the water for borscht)
1 potato (diced)
(I added 1 cup shredded carrots)
salt
pepper
a bit of parsley ( I substituted fresh dill weed in cheesecloth…boil with broth and then removed later. I also added one bay leaf.)

Boil meat, beans and onion in a medium pot. Add salt and pepper and chopped parsley (or dill and bay leaf). Simmer for as long as you can…it really brings out the flavour.
Remove spices (and herbs).
Add the grated beets and diced potatoes (carrots) and beet water. Bring to a boil again and simmer until vegetables are tender.
Before serving, stir in a bit of fresh cream.
